PERSONAL TECH AND PRODUCTIVITY
Personal Tech and Productivity--Reinventing Bureaucracy, complete with software sellers with laptop law, medical, governmental, and business applications.
America needs a productivity revolution to lead the world into the next half century. But the factory floor is not the only place where you can massively goose the productive powers of a single human being. Every major arm of western and eastern society is currently based on the bureaucratic model. Government, the medical system, the justice system, and corporations, all are run using the bureaucratic system. A system that is riddled with waste, incompetence, amorality, and collective stupidity. A system that is ripe for radical reinvention.
Bureaucracy is based on tools that were new and revolutionary in the 18th and 19th century. Those are the tools referred to in the French word "bureau"--which means an office or a desk. Until 1800, most offices were in the home. Moving desk workers to a central location, a central office, utterly changed the scope of what bureaucrats--paper pushers, information gatherers, and decision makers--could do. But today what was new has become old and painfully slow. Painfully unresponsive to human needs.
What hints are there that a revolution is right around the corner if we grab for it?
The new technologies of information consolidation and decision making. Paper and the desk have been replaced by the laptop. Central file cabinets have been replaced by Google and private databases. And the conversation of bureaucrats across a desk, in a corridor, or in a conference room have been replaced by IMs, text messages, and cell phone calls.
The cruelty of bureaucracy comes from the isolation of the bureaucrats among their peers, their isolation from the people they serve. Today a bureaucrat can carry his office out among the people who are his or her customers, his or her constituents, or his or her patients. And in medicine, handwritten notes kept in a drawer in an office can be replaced by computerized files accessible to any specialist the patient comes in contact with. The office, the office building, and its product--the bureaucracy are obsolete.
What is the next step in turning workers who love their laptops and their cellphones, workers who no longer push paper robotically but dive into information exploring and synthesis with all their hearts and souls, into the makers of the next big step in productivity, the productivity not just of manufacturing workers but of the folks who make the daily decisions that rule our lives?

LIVE + INTERACTIVE
It's time people stop talking about clean energy and climate change and start acting. ---Leonardo DiCapprio With that in mind, the NRDC Action Fund and I have launched a campaign to demand action on climate legislation. Our goal: Spread the word and demand that our leaders in Washington take action to pass the critical climate change legislation currently before the Senate. Joining us in this campaign are some of my Hollywood colleagues like Jason Bateman, Forest Whitaker, Chace Crawford, Felicity Huffman, Justin Long, Edward Norton and Emmy Rossum, as well as Professor Cornel West of Princeton University
In a concerted effort to expand the vision of Next-Gen-Expo to a larger global audience which leads to global impact and change, we are developing a large scale interactive promotion. This means the event, while moved into a motion picture studio, will be broadcast live to a global audience thru our affiliate relationships, enabling this to be the first exposition of ideas and concepts that truly demonstrates effective interactive promotions and marketing.

"We are on the verge of a Green Industrial Revolution. A Revolution that will expand our economy, protect our resources and give us real energy independence. We can go on the way we have, or we can move beyond fossil fuels and secure a future for all of us. What will you choose? --Sigourney Weaver in "Acid Test."
