In an era of Google being available at the touch of your fingers, do we even need teachers, libraries and librarians any more? The problem is Google will only tell you what you ask it. So if you don't know what you don't know, what is our path to new learning? Who can you talk to about making sense of all the information you're discovering? What if a librarian could help you decipher the world of information overload? State Library of Victoria CEO Kate Torney describes a new role for the library, where we learn to turn information into understanding.

Can tech connect us to each other in ways more than just socially? How can we be connected with the things in life we actually need - a car to drive at short notice, a drill to do some home handiwork, even food & vegetables for dinner. How can tech easily connect us with everyday necessities to make living easier, more efficient and even cheaper? Sharing cities expert Darren Sharp tells us how we'll make the most of the 'stuff, space, and skills' that surround us in a century that will be more urban - and more shared - than ever before.

What does the world will look like after these companies know more about us than we know about ourselves? How should we be handling our own data and privacy over the next billion seconds?
