This episode of Foresight Radio looks at how technology is increasingly democratizing access to products, services, and knowledge across the globe. Our guest Erin Baumgartner is the co-founder of an innovative new food delivery service Family Dinner, she is currently working at the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society, and she is the past Assistant Director of the MIT Senseable City Lab. During the program we'll explore a variety of topics that focus on how technology is reducing the lack of transparency and the friction that stand in the way of creating a global economy of 10 billion people. Some of the ideas we'll talk about:

- The changing expectations of a new generation of consumers

- How technology can help scale sustainability

- The power of smart cities and the way technology is reframing some of the biggest urban problems

- The promise of open classrooms in leveraging 10 billion minds

- How society can benefit from the hyperpersonalization of higher education
