Vertical World

The world as you know it as ending. The world that your professors, parents, and pundits have grown up in no longer exists. A new, vertical world is emerging full of technology-based walls and barriers. The world is dividing because of technology. It doesn’t matter what industry you work in or what time zone you live in, the Vertical World will challenge your future and fate. From immigration to business expansion to academia, new “vertical borders” have begun to form, creating a new design for the world.

This 60-minute talk, delivered by Abishur Prakash, will open your eyes to the new geography that you will have to navigate and master. The Vertical World is not on the horizon. It has begun to form from Boston to Beijing, from Singapore to Sao Paulo.
