The document discusses how to cause change through invention and innovation. It notes that the best way to predict the future is to invent it, as inventions drive changes in behavior and changes in behavior drive new inventions in an ongoing cycle. It provides examples of past predictions about future technologies and innovations that could drive large societal changes, such as new energy sources eliminating the low-cost labor advantage of some countries and new educational technologies. The key is thinking beyond today to shape tomorrow through new ideas and creations.
