WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT A PERSON
AFTER SEEING THIS?
ENTERING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WORLD.
BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE SP WHISPER,
YOU ENCOUNTER SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT:

PREDICTING THE SOCIAL CULTURE OF OUR FUTURE - THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF SOCIAL PLATFORMS
WE HAVE SPLIT PERSONAS.
DISPARATE SPs ARE A MANIFESTATION
OF OUR SPLIT PERSONAS – NOT THE TRIGGER.
The Business Self
The Public Self

The Int. Business Self

The Spontaneous Self

The Secret Self

The Wise Self

The Collective Self
The Creative Self
OUR CURRENT STATUS QUO:
WE HAVE A DISINTEGRATED PRESENT.
DISINTEGRATED PARTS OF OURSELVES
ARE MANIFESTED EVERYWHERE IN OUR SOCIETY.
THERE IS A NEW NEED FOR INTEGRATION –
AND TECHNOLOGY WILL ENABLE IT.
THE GOOD NEWS:
WE ALREADY ARE IN AN ERA OF TRANSITION.
NEW SPs GAINING GROUND.

WE ARE IN AN ERA OF TRANSITION.
• A lot of volatility in user growth across different platforms
• New platforms emerging, others dying
• Facebook has become the „go to“ social network for older
audiences, but younger segments are again „searching“
• Mobile and proximity is becoming more important (i.e. Tinder),
because it tears down the walls between the virtual and physical
world – one possible step to true integration
LET’S PEAK INTO OUR SOCIAL FUTURE.
As we have seen, social platforms are manifestations of our brain and
psychology. If we can identify the social cognitive needs then we are
potentially able to predict what other networks are to come.
We selected a model from Australia for a number of reasons:
• It is comprehensive
• It uses the concept of social cognitive needs and Intelligence Centres
• It is based on brain science
• It can explain existing social platforms
• It gives us a glimpse of the future
THE 6 SOCIAL COGNITIVE NEEDS OF
THE HUMAN BRAIN.
THE (SIMPLIFIED) NEUROPOWER GRID.
NEED 1: TRIBAL SPIRIT – BELONGING
PREDICTING THE SOCIAL CULTURE OF OUR FUTURE - THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF SOCIAL PLATFORMS
NEED 2: CREATIVITY – SELF EXPRESSION

FACEBOOK HAVE IN COMMON?

SEVEN OUT OF TEN PEOPLE CHECK FACEBOOK
BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP.
20% OF THOSE SURVEYED ADMITTED THEY'VE ACTUALLY
STOPPED HAVING SEX TO CHECK AN INCOMING TEXT.
NEED 3: ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT – ACHIEVEMENT
FROM SELF-PRESENTATION TO
ACTIONABLE AND PROJECT-ORIENTED.
NEED 4: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE – CONNECTION
NEED 5: PATTERN RECOGNITION – LEARNING
NEED 6: VISION – FUTURE HOPE
PLACING TODAYS SOCIAL PLATFORMS
ON THE NEUROPOWER GRID.
EVEN MORE INTERESTING: WHAT DIGITAL NATIVES
STILL MISS IN TODAY‘S SOCIAL PLATFORMS.
• SECUTIRY:
Data security and privacy are unmet need, Gen Z is aware of and yearns for
• AUTHENTICITY:
Beyond the smiley teens yearn for authentic relationships, they want to know
about all aspects of the other person they are in interaction with
• CONNECTION:
Gen Z intuitively understand that meeting up virtually is not the real thing, they
have an urge to find a bridge between online connections and the offline world
IF WE PUT OUR ENTREPRENEUR’S HAT ON,
HERE IS WHAT’S STILL TO COME.
A platform facilitating a true 1-to-1 connection based on authenticity
REAL ME

A platform which will give you a new security and privacy guarantee
NEST

A platform which links people with a similar mindset to find comfort
TRIBE

SEAMLESS

VISIONX

A platform which helps to better link online and offline
A platform of likeminded that visualize the future
LET’S THINK BIG(GER) NOW.

FROM SOCIAL PLATFORM TO SOCIAL CULTURE:

Until 2025 we‘ll develop intelligent, technical consultants, whom we‘ll – and that‘s new –
trust more and more. They‘ll extend us and integrate man and machine.

WE WON’T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT ANYMORE.

2. SOCIAL PLATFORMS WILL BE SMARTLY
CURATED INTO OUR LIVES.
Source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/home/imirror-looks-like-looking-glass-acts-like-touchscreen/

In 2025 social platforms will function as seamless operating systems in the background.
We won‘t have to actively navigate them anymore.
3. EVERYBODY WILL BE AN ENTREPRENEUR.

Source: Inc. Magazine

In 2025, talents will become entrepreneurs and project workers. New job profiles will emerge,
which will require integrated skill sets consisting of general and specialist knowledge.
SUCCESS IS AUTONOMY,
NOT NAPOLEONIC DOMINATION.
4. THE INTERNET WILL DEVELOP
ITS OWN CONSCIOUSNESS.

http://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/embedded/intelligent-systems-overview.html

In 2025, the internet will integrate all accessable information and will operate
as a central control system enabling higher level decision-making and choices.
„I GOT A JOB FOR YOU!“
SOUNDS LIKE BREEDING GROUNDS FOR
GEORGE ORWELL‘S „SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY“?
5. A NEW ETHICS IS EMERGING, WHICH WILL
UNDERPIN A BRIGHT DIGITAL FUTURE.
A (DIFFERENT) DAY AT SCHOOL
WITH THOMMY.
THIS NEW INTEGRATED SOCIAL CULTURE
WON‘T APPEAR ON ITS OWN.
WE HAVE TO FOSTER IT,
LIVE IT, WORK IT AND PARENT IT
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
MANY THANKS. #SMWSOCIALCULTURE
