There’s a broader feeling that Trust is challenged in many ways; trust between people, institutions, and trust in business. The Trust crisis primarily happens because of changes in technology that impact human behavior and create Trust issues. Throughout history, human societies have developed Trust mechanisms commensurate with the era’s technology culture and needs. We’re at crossroads; technology has changed, impacting culture and needs, while the means of Trust building have not changed. We need to take a deeper look and re-engineer our Trust mechanisms.
The following TED & TEDx presentations address this issue. Enjoy!
