Quotes From David

  • The four dominant dynamics of the 2020s will be the Age of Climate Change, the Age of Intelligence, the reinvention of Capitalism and Democracy and the beginning of a new Global Consciousness.

  • Tools defined the Agricultural Age. Machines defined the Industrial Age. Technology defined the Information Age. Consciousness will define the Shift Age.

  • The 2020s will be the most disruptive decade in history. There will be more massive change and disruption than any 20-30 year period in human history.

  • Since the beginning of the Information Age in the early 1970s, six dynamics occurred which in the aggregate ushered in the Shift Age: the end of the Cold War, the beginning of the global economy, personal computing, the Internet, high-speed wireless connectivity and the move from analog to digital. A new age had to occur.

  • I have had the good fortune to hear David Houle deliver several keynote speeches. He is the best futurist speaker I have ever heard and I would highly recommend him. He is able to take complex issues and ideas and distill them in a way for any audience to understand and appreciate. Most important, David has the ability to provoke an awakening and questioning, stimulating our thought processes about the future and what kind of future the world and our industries may have. All industry sectors, including the hospitality and tourism industry, can learn and become better prepared for our futures when exposed to David’s presentations.
