The future ain't what it used to be (Yogi Berra)
The second TEDxKraków took place on 20 October 2011 in Kraków.

In 2010, TEDxKraków explored the links between innovation and tradition and how the tensions between them can be addressed. In 2011 we wanted to go a little further and explore what’s coming up. After all, the last few years have given us a lot to absorb; a global recession, a major banking crisis and geopolitical shifts that have seen new powers rise and flex their muscles.

Apart from these more obvious changes, in the background the internet has now reached millions of people and allowed information, secrets and lies to be spread with greater ease than ever before. As author Peter Hinssen says "The past 25 years were about technology getting into the hands of consumers. The next 25 years will see consumers, young and old, making technology part of everyday life".

So when the dust settles and we get back to normal, we wondered what this ‘new normal’ will look like. And if that’s the new normal, what will be the new weird? At TEDxKraków 2011 we asked our speakers to tell us what we might have to get used to.
