Summary

This book argues that identity and money are both changing profoundly. Because of technological change the two trends are converging so that all that we need for transacting will be our identities captured in the unique record of our online social contacts. Social networks and mobile phones are the key technologies. They will enable the building of an identity infrastructure that can enhance both privacy and security – there is no trade-off. The long-term consequences of these changes are impossible to predict, partly because how they take shape will depend on how companies take advantage of business opportunities to deliver transaction services. But one prediction made here is that cash will soon be redundant – and a good thing too. In its place we will see a proliferation of new digital currencies.

If we keep this up, the status quo is going to look like … well … the status quo. It is so easy not to change and not to challenge. The safe approach seems like the smart approach especially when there are bills to pay. Yet how we manage business and strive for personal success is falling far short of where we could be in our companies and in our daily lives.We all have the opportunity to be so much more than we are today in our personal and work lives. If you make incremental positive changes, magic will happen over time.
