The Rise of Generation C: Implications for the world of 2020 In the course of the next 10 years, a new generation—Generation C—will emerge. Born after 1990, these “digital natives,” just now beginning to attend university and enter the work- force, will transform the world as we know it. Their interests will help drive massive change in how people around the world socialise, work, and live their passions—and in the information and communication technologies they use to do so. As they grow up, this highly connected generation will live “online” most of their waking hours, comfortably participate in social networks with several hundred or more contacts, generate and consume vast amounts of formerly private information, and carry with them a sophisticated “personal cloud” that identifies them in the converged online and offline worlds. As a consequence, this generation will expect fast, reliable connectivity through which they will create direct commercial links with a multitude of online business partners—today we call them application players. And the Internet will evolve into a largely “centerless” cloud with no obvious control points. In the face of declining revenues from traditional services, the challenge for the communication and technology industries will be to abandon successful but outlived business models and refocus on what it takes to thrive in the Generation C environment. This shouldn’t be taken as bad news, however; the rise of ubiquitous b r o a d b a n d , and of newly c o n n e c t e d populations from emerging economies, will enable operators to capitalize on a vast new array of services. The “smart pipe,” an intelligent communication infrastructure, will be at the heart of many new value pools in industries as diverse as healthcare, energy, transportation, and media. Communication and technology players are well positioned to jump on the bandwagon today to help shape the future of these industries—and to capture significant new revenues as the industries change and grow.

Dolphins and whales 3D at IMAX Melbourne Museum, Carlton Gardens IMAX Melbourne Museum is delving deep into the ocean this September school holidays with the breathtaking new IMAX film, Dolphins and Whales 3D. Narrated by environmentalist and actress, Daryl Hannah, Dolphins and Whales 3D immerses viewers in the daily lives of cetaceans small and large and follows these fascinating creatures as they interact socially, play, communicate through highly complex sound systems, feed, breed, migrate and fight for survival. Dolphins and Whales 3D also delivers a powerful message in favour of the protection of these tribes while they face the greatest challenge of all - to survive the destruction of their habitat and depletion of food resources.
