Good information about the fact that we have the means to communicate across the world, but we are in fact getting more isolated in terms of what we are being reported and what we are interested in. Good extension from Alyssa Miller's talk

We love this article at KSU and use it each semester. Some use it as an introductory read to discuss the global challenges in general while others use it in GC 1 to talk more specifically about issues surrounding population growth. Well documented, thorough read that never fails to spark discussion.

We have done some work with the Korbel School at Denver, and they have a simulation/modeling platform called IFs that allows you to test out some of the same assumptions we have in Seven Revolutions. I suggest you check it out.

Discussion of the political impact of social media has focused on the power of mass protests to topple governments. In fact, social media's real potential lies in supporting civil society and the public sphere -- which will produce change over years and decades, not weeks or months.

Summary: A new way of war is on the horizon. Already, robots and drones are replacing human pilots and foot soldiers in some roles, and in the future they will take over many more. The benefits of removing human soldiers from harm's way are obvious. But there's a price to pay when a society can wage war by remote control.

Thanks to technological advances, in the past few years, vast amounts of natural gas -- particularly shale gas -- have become economically viable. This development is an unmitigated boon for consumers interested in affordable energy and for governments hoping to reduce their countries' dependency on foreign oil.
