This document discusses the rise of a new "Society 3.0" driven by digital technologies and connected people. Key points discussed include: - Society is changing from industrial to a new digital form as people choose their own paths - Cities and connected people will become more important than countries and organizations - The rise of self-employed "Knowmads" and crowd companies is a trend in this new society - A "Serendipity Machine" is proposed as a real-time place-based network to enhance connections between knowmads within a city's virtual community

“A new order is presen/ng itself. It may s/ll be an undercurrent, but maybe that is
the best way to grow. We see more and more people who have clearly chosen how
they want to go about with themselves, their environment and other people.”
