DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nVice President Al Gore talked about his book, The Future: Six 
 Drivers of Global Change, in which he outlines the six major factors 
 impelling progress around the world. He is a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel 
 Peace Prize.  \n\nAl Gore identifies six factors that are emerging as the 
 major drivers of change. These factors are \n1) Work: the movement of labor 
 from West to East (outsourcing); and, at the same time, a shift towards 
 much more automation (robosourcing); \n2) Communications: the rise of the 
 internet that has led to a wild proliferation of information, and the 
 ability of the world's population to instantly connect with one another for 
 a host of purposes.  Including the increasing reach of the internet from 
 the developed to the developing world; \n3) Power: the shifting of power 
 from West to East; and, at the same time, the shifting of power from 
 national governments to smaller players, such as businesses and 
 corporations, but also rogue players, such as guerrilla and terror 
 organizations; \n4) Demographics: the enormous increase in the world's 
 population, and the movement of peoples both within and across national 
 borders; \n5) Biotechnology: the increasing manipulation of DNA to produce 
 not only new organisms with novel features, but new materials and fuels as 
 well, and \n6) Climate Change: the increase in world temperatures caused by 
 the continuing build-up of CO2, as well as the numerous other climate 
 effects that this entails.\nSource: C-SPAN: Book Discussion on The 
 Future\n\nNext week Michelle Alexander explains how the get-tough-on-crime 
 policies were enacted in the 1970's were an effort to push back the gains 
 of the Civil Rights Movement. \nDownload or Play Al Gore Part 1Download or
