Power to the People: Time to Seize Power

ME to the power of US

Andy Grove’s Law

Telecommunications bandwidth

doubles every century

A billion people in advanced economies may have between them

two billion and six billionspare hours each

day

It would take the 340,000 workers employed by the motion

picture and recording industries in the United States...assuming each worker worked forty-hour weeks without taking a single vacation…

between three and eight and a half years…

to equal the amount of free time

a billion people have

each day!

Even taking into account different levels of talent, knowledge, skills and resources,

a billion volunteers have

qualities that make them more

likely to produce what others

want to read, see, listen to,

or experience...

People power

Taking control of your

value

Ask not what you can do for your operator,

but what your operator can do for you

Change the paradigm
