I mentioned the Davos Conversation YouTube site a few days ago, where anyone can create a YouTube video and answer the question “What one thing do you think that countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?” and upload it to the Davos Conversation YouTube site.
A few minutes ago Bono answered the question here at the conference. He was surrounded by press, of course, and a couple of bloggers (you’ll notice Robert Scoble (his Qik video) prominently in the video, and I pop my head in as well).
Bono had just left a breakfast talk with Al Gore on the subject of climate change…Scoble and I arrived early and took the best seats up front and center. The access that the conference is giving us is incredible.
Saying something actionable can come out of a conference of professional conference-goers is a bit out there…There are people who do, and people who talk about doing.
I can totally understand Scoble, Arrington, and Loic being there, but WTF is Paul Boutin doing in Davos???
“Politicians are slipping on their goals to have extreme poverty by 2015″
That should be halve extreme poverty, and then it makes perfect sense.
I can totally understand Scoble, Arrington, and Loic being there, but WTF is Putin doing in Davos???
Be seen with “important” people, make people believe you’re important too & use Google’s jet.
Thank you for effectively helping to save the planet.
Up to this day the Davos question results can be summarized to:
- Collaboration ; getting together
- Innovation; creativity
- Communication; listening
So with the tools we have at hand like the Internet, online Databases, Youtube etc.. we can communicate which helps us being creative. In order to listen efficiently to millions of people at a time we need the use of online databases and visual communication. We have Databases and Youtube we can work something out.
In order to give a feed back to the mass population from what was gathered in the databases and Youtube, we can make computer animated film of the future we desire to achieve, this form of visual communication will help us visualise our common goals and will help us to be creative in order to achieve these goals in a proper and efficient way.
In one sentence:
Computer animated visualisation of ideals in order to promote harmonious and synergetic creativity.
We have the tools to make this world a better place!
We just need to communicate properly, find our goals, visualise them and let time bring the answers for the right actions to take.

To all the pot-shotters on this blog run - what are you doing to change things? You all have plenty of negative comments and criticisms to throw at Bono, and a few at Al Gore.
When was the last time any of you got off your butts and actually tried to make a difference. If you haven’t noticed, thanks to Al Gore and Bono, the global dialogue and movement to addressing severe poverty and climate crisis has risen dramatically with their advocacy.
Stop hanging out with a pizza beside your computer and start doing something. Until you do something dramatic to raise attention, accountability and action, your perspective is worth nothing as far as many are concerned.
@37: I believe he said, “Politicians are slipping on their goals to half extreme poverty by 2015.”
It does sound pretty funny and close to the other interpretation, but I’m fairly certain that’s the quote.
