Forget about using your mouse and keyboard, just use your shirt, your pants, your socks and whatever else you’re wearing that happens to be made of Google’s new jacquard material of the future and by waving your arms, walking or doing whatever else comes naturally (keep it clean).

The window between a signal arriving and it demanding a response is shortening. Google’s Future / 4BC & Radio Hong Kong 3 is already shaping strategy conversations in forward-looking organisations. Treating it as a future concern rather than a present one builds a preparedness gap that will have to be closed under pressure.

The most important question is not whether Google’s Future / 4BC & Radio Hong Kong 3 will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
