This short film is great fun but at the same time, it has a very important underlying message about the need to continually sow the seeds to create tomorrow’s harvest of creative juices.

Watch the following video in which Cisco representatives stand on stage together despite the fact that they are in reality many thousands of miles apart (in California, USA and Bangalore, India).

The chaps from the USA are recreated holographically on stage yet the technology is so advanced that it is almost difficult to make this out. They explain that this technology is expected to be used for ‘on-stage’ presentations and speeches in the immediate future but this should be extended to business meetings and homes in the not too distant future.

Just think of the possibilities for global business……

The ability to connect with clients (almost) in person despite potentially being on different sides of the globe. This is yet another good example of how technology can bring us closer to together.

Make it a routine. Start today

I am looking forward to reading Dan Pink’s latest career advice book (presented in manga) here in the UK. I greatly enjoyed his previous books including “A Whole New Mind” and, if his trailer is anything to go by, then I expect the book will be a visual treat:
