   Changing the World: Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
   • Entrepreneurs change the world (and they tend to be young)
   • Startup Success depends on market disruption:
   – structural (deregulation, financial turmoil)
   – New channels of distribution (Dell vs. Compaq, Internet)
   – Non-linear technological advances (the only one you can count on)
   • Accelerating Technological Change (110 yr. version of Moore’s Law, etc):
   – Perpetual driver of disruption
   > Shorter Forecast Horizons
   > Recurring Future Shock / Black Swan Events
   – Virtuous cycle for entrepreneurs
   – Interdisciplinary Renaissance of Learning

   (a portion of this talk overlapped with the one I gave at Stanford recently, and someone was taking notes and video)

   And with a nod to NASA, I suggested that those interested in space should look to terrestrial cleantech markets first, while dreaming of the stars. Becoming a space-faring species is the ultimate recycling and sustainability challenge. But we can build stepping stones to the final frontier.
