We Give Inspiration To Make Things Better So hands up here who thinks it’s their job to change the world? When I started to think about this presentation for the Future Trends 07 presentation a few weeks ago I dug up the title for the deck and I thought to myself ‘bloody hell, I proposed that’… because when I first look at the title I feel like it’s not my place to make such grand statements - but then I look at it again, I think to myself, ‘yeah - that’s what I want to do’.
