Gerd Leonhard is a futurist, author, and CEO of The Futures Agency. He discusses several topics related to big data, mobile technology, social media, and the future of the internet. Some key points include: - The next 3 years will see a re-imagination of everything through the convergence of social, local, and mobile (SoLoMo). - Big data presents both opportunities and risks that require careful management to avoid potential harms. - Technologies like Google Glass and developments in human-data interfaces will further blur distinctions between humans and technology. - Decentralized networks and new forms of data ecosystems may emerge to replace existing centralized models.
