I found this video lecture to be quite informative.

The Third Industrial Revolution
The global economy is in crisis.
The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. In VICE’s feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system. A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment. This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast.
“I think the political struggle of the millennials, their children, and grandchildren will be how to address these problems.”

Decomposing Midget,

That's too dry for me and too many links. But it's not really your fault. I have the attention span of a gnat these days.

Interesting series of articles. If only the right wing members of CC read them they might have a better understanding of the direction the world is heading.

I am a pretty busy guy and thus I too am not into watching a long hour and a half video.
But, within about 15 minutes I was hooked as the lecture began to explain what Germany was doing and how it was working out.
And I thought it sort of explained how the Millennials are thinking today.
I found the video quite informative.
