Cities of the Future: Innovative ideas from a Graded parent

While on vacation in South Africa I came across an article on IBM's 5 in 5. IBM researchers each year develop 5 innovations that will change the way that we live. In the innovation below you may recognize Sergio Borger who is a Graded parent. Based on the research that Sergio and the IBM team have been doing he predicts that cities will change dramatically in the future. Congrats to Sergio. Take a look below.

The other four innovations are:

• The classroom will learn you
• Buying local will beat online
• Doctors will routinely use your DNA to keep you well
• A digital guardian will protect you online

As we strive to help students to become innovative these are the types of ideas that they need to study and analyze.
