What’s changed? It’s all about ‘connected’ imho. How we’re all connected by emotion, technology, people & ideas. We’re closer than ever in ways more immediate and more personal than ever before.

As I tweeted earlier, looks like the US will make history by electing a black man as president, while the UK will be repeating history by electing an old Etonian.
