The Real Future of Safety - Think 7 Billion

We are often treated to surveys and articles about the future of safety. Mostly they show statistics from the National Safety Council, talk about how bad the problem is, and through the concept of "Correlation equals Causation" urge us to buy a certain product or service, donate to a certain cause, or urge our governments to pass new laws. And nothing gets done!

The following is a video from National Geographic. The descendants of people who, according to Thomas Malthus 1798 who should have starved or died of disease due to overpopulation are driving BMWs and Audis. The cities are the place to be for quality of life.  Unemployment? Wait until new protocols are universally known. In the United States the Census Bureau shows that there are 28 million non-employer businesses, most home-based, and the number is growing by a million a year.

Watch this video. Try to count the opportunities that you see. You may as well try to count the stars.
