The New Renaissance

The European Renaissance started around 600 years ago in Europe and it changed the face of the World. There are two main questions: 1) When will be the next major transformation comparable with the Renaissance of 600 years ago? 2) What could be the distinct features of the next major transformation, here called New Renaissance? Evidences indicate a major transformation actually happening, NOW! The changes that we are facing (including the wide applications of the Internet) may be a prelude to the New Renaissance.
