Where Is It Going?

Announcing a relaunch for 2010

Glen Hiemstra and me (Gerd Leonhard) will be relaunching WhereIsItGoing (WIIG) in the next few months. Think "Minority Report meets Charlie Rose" and add various elements of telepresence, web-casting, life-streaming, online collaboration, social media, and mobile, and you'll get the idea. We are currently negotiating with potential partners for a global roll-out in 2010. Stay tuned!

This week, we received some very interesting questions via the WiiG Hashtag on Twitter: This time from: @JAZZSTEPPA: #wiig "Is the future really going to be as terrible as mainstream media is telling us it is going to be?" and from @frankspencer: RT @brendacooper: #wiig to @glenhiemstra and @gerdleonhard What future form of world governance might be more successful than today's? and from @T0mRowlands: @gleonhard, #wiig -> Which European regions/cities do you expect to become (or remain) core digital media clusters ? Below is our response (Glen Hiemstra and Gerd Leonhard). As you can see we are trying to get the actual Twitter feed into the video, as well- stay have a long way to go with all that tech stuff. But - Twitterfountain is cool!

WhereIsItGoing: first audio podcast of twitter-based session, answering 'futuristic' questions posted via Twitter

A few days ago we announced a new twist to this project . Going forward, we will be taking questions via Twitter using the #wiig hashtag, before and during each week's session, and try answer them on the spot (via video and audio). Please have mercy on us, btw - we are still very much in the beginning stages as far as the production quality is concerned. Another take on the questions is included as streaming audio-only, below, as well.

Here are the first few questions we received (thanks to @rzaragoza @eighteyes and @gregorylent for chiming in!)

Below is the audio stream with the conversation we had based on these questions (I guess that means we tried to actually answer these questions...). Drop.io does not provide a very nice audio player, yet, but it streams nicely, anyway;)

The Future of Cars and Transportation (WiiG 5), Video by Glen Hiemstra & Gerd Leonhard

Gerd Leonhard — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:43:12 +0200

This is WiiG number 5. Do we need to think of cars as social utilities? What will change people's habits about using public transportation versus using your own car? How is the economic crisis effecting people's decisions as far as the car is concerned? What about electric cars, and self-driving vehicles?
