In a world and era where we are immersed in information and technology, a pressing question seems to be: what impact does constantly being 'plugged in' have on us as individuals and as a global society? Are we all destined to become super-intelligent humans in a world of free information and greater opportunity? Will our ability to share and create with one another promote a greater democratisation of the world?

We marvel at our brilliant technological advancements that allow us to learn, share, experience, and be connected in ways that weren't feasible before now. But does our love affair with information pose potential dangers and barriers that could threaten the wellbeing of mankind individually and as a civilisation?

Curious ideas and questions are posed and explored in this talk given at Google base with spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle whose best selling books include 'The Power of Now' and 'A New Earth.' In this talk, Eckhart explores questions surrounding what it means to be in a world of extraordinary digital technologies, such as those we use every day.
