Subject: The new section of The 2025 Report is fascinating: confidential:

I am currently working through

 

“The TC and Education” Chapter eight.

 

I won’t pass on all my own comments and suggestions at the moment, but . . .

 

1:  When we moved from New Zealand’s main city of Auckland (population 1.5 million) to the tiny seaside city of Tauranga (then 120,000 people; now 140,000) , four years ago, my wife and I took with us my personalized library of 12,000 different books.  (Many from my 10 years as a radio and television talkshow host often interviewing book authors).  Those extra 40,000 people mainly live in retirement homes: the basis for a new industry (including early childhood industry):

 

2:   I have been working since then on several books on Innovation, including the history of innovation and its associated Aha Game, which I have used in one-day and three-day seminars around the world (the first seminar series, in the UK, was funded by Gordon Brown, when Chancellor, when hr introduced “Business Innovation and business creativity” as a new optional high school course in 2005 (see then handout game first used in those seminars: now using all my present reading for “2020 vision” (Wow, How, NOW”) video-book industry, including “video tutorials)/

 

·         Apple, including Apple II, from 1996 when it (for the first time) lost $1 billion.

·         Apple under Steve Jobs leadership in creative industries (learned during his work at Pixar under CEO  Ed Catmull, summarized in Catmull’s book, CREATIVITY, INC, subtitled “Overcoming the unseen forces that stand in way of true inspiration”.

·         From 1997, Steve Jobs II (as new CEO of Apple) during the period 1997 to 2011  reinvented six entirely new industries: music with the iPod  and iTunes), (1000 tunes and songs in your pocket with your own personalized radio music station (all different), the iPhone (misnamed: it’s really a multimedia computer in  your pocket with its own digital camera back and front; digital cam-recorder back and front (stored in a Japanese tiny storage system with 2 million transistors in its version six; the ability to store, send and receive emails but also receive and send phonecalls; the Ipad (multimedia production system); iMovie (used in New Zealand brilliantly starting the first day n school= at age six; animation (I can animate:, from the second day at school); Garage Band (composing music, second month at school); plus (with Pixar’s John Lasseter) reinventing the movie industry and selling Pixar to Disney, with Catmull and Lasseter  charge of both companies’ animation departments, and Jobs as the new main stockholder for $7.4 billion in Pixar shares).  And Apple as the world’s newest and richest country in world

·         Google’s 70,000 smart-creatives, and its new model for a different style of management and innovation.

·         Alibaba (at least 12 books) and Edward Tse’s book “China’s disruptors” (at least 15 main ones).

·         Sony fights back over Apple.

·         Peter Jackson (a friend of mine) and his wife: “Lord of the Rings” books equal 20^th-century literacy; now wins 11 Academy Awards in a night, model for 21^st-centurymultimedia literacy.  More Oscars in second and third of trio of LORings movies.  New Zealand sets up world’s th ird movie capital after Hollywood and Mumbai’s BolyWoos.

·         New /Zealand brings Hollywood moviemaking specialist Robert McKee to New Zealand as world’s main movie story-telling expert (author of STORY: substance,  style and the principles of screenwriting”.  Peter Jackson and screen-writing wife Fran Walsh (also a friend of mine: Tom Walsh, my oldest friend, 11 years older than me: I delivered the eulogy at his funeral.

·         Google’s Chrome now owns world’s biggest and most-used browser: 3.5 billion searches a day: 100 times better than Wikipedia: Ask. I each case, for “The ten best article on any subject)

·         Google News: 70 different daily online news programs/video and clips from best newspapers and magazines in the world.

·         I have an entire library showing the world’s best schools.

·         Google now provides world’s best books on model education systems.

·         To add to your 2025 Report’s chapter eight  . . . link world’s  best chess master (Kasparov’s guide to chess – from beginner ‘level 1’ to world master (level 10) as the guide to any subject; and play at that level against with the world champion as your guide.  All new world champions are aged 8 to 15.

·         Exactly the same, with Omar Sharif’s Guide to playng contract Bridge, at every level from 1 (beginner) to world champion (level 10),

·         Android tried to sell its system for equivalent to iPad to Samsung; but was knocked back, so sold it three days later to Google: now model for 184 model manufacturers- each with Android free oen operating system as a guide.

·         Thousands of retired Auckland citizens now selling up their expensive homes in Auckland to for the basis of retirement-home industries in my new city.

·         I know Singapore city well and Cabinet ministers: “Plato’s Republic for 21^st century” – now model for China. , I first toured Japan, Hong kong, Singapore, KL and Bangkok in 1964 after reading your dad’s first book on Japan. My first month was in Japan where, in my last week there I managed to buy, for $1, the English-language translation of the 1962 MITI economic plan with all the detail of what JAPAN needed to do to match VW as world leading small car center.

·         All books on Toyota and Honda putting that plan into action.

·         My “3 S’s” models: Singapore, Silicon valley (named in 1971), Shanghai, Shenzhen, Sydney.

·         Other model schools and education systems: dozens of books.

·         Alec Cross’s 2016 book, “The Industries of the Future”: Chapter 2 one of four best: “The future of the human machine”, led by America and China.  First opening quote: The last trillion-dollar industry was built on the code of 1’s and 0’s.  The next will be built on our own genetic code.    You must read this book and this chapter.

·         I attended my first three-day Silicon valley seminar in January 1979 (after visiting silicon valley in 1984; the same year I read your  Dad’s Japanese book).  After three days of making intersperses contributions, I was crowned “the Maori king of silicon valley”.  This was one month after Steve Jobs first two visits to Xerox PARC (Palo alto research centre) where he first saw the real future of Alan Kay’s personal computer which he then turned into Apple Macintosh (in 1984) and Gates turned into Windows.

·         Michael A. Hltzik and his book, DEALERS OF LIGHTNING (XEROX PARC and the dawn of the computer age” (1999) is the best book on this subject.

·         Dr Seuss (an old friend of mine), pioneer of 600 million “Beginner Books” sold to encourage reading fluent English (now out as series of US digital books: potential for 160 million – from birth to age 10: based on 16 million born every year in China).  I am also doing a separate book on how to use that series of digital books for Gordon Dryden’s Early English.

 

My new innovation books wi be based around VIDEO BOOKS, based on:

 

2020 VISION (but could be 2025 or higher):

 

Three leaps to turn your own talent and passion into the new creative age:

Wow.  How.   Now.

 

The three leapa  to use your specific talent and passion to invent everything:

 

1.       WOW.  The big idea.

2.       HOW.   Three models to invent it (shown with video graphics).

3.       NOW:   How to leap from where you are to now to Wow! (video tutorials).

 

Many of these models including education touched on in your2025 report.  But it needs to include video-tutorial book.

 

I interrupted chapter 8 of your 2025 report to jot these notes down.  Now 4.14 a.m. in New Zealand
