Zeitgeist and Health Train Express

 

How many of my fellow Google Plussers know what Zeitgeist is all about? I admit I did not know until a few hours ago when I was preparing a story about the future of healthcare and medicine. What I realized immediately is that the future of healthcare and medical advances has nothing to do with medicine or healthcare, by themselves.

I spent the greater part of today, a Saturday to think about Ben Carson MD and his presentation at the National Prayer Breakfast. I spoke about the presentation in an  earlier blog post.

It set off a chain of topics connected by my stumbling upon a series of TEDMED events and Singularity University. It connects great minds and great expectations via Futuremed 2013.

Finally for today and the rest of February 18-22nd 2013 Social Media Week #smw13  is taking place around the globe, with events in New York, Washington, D.C. Milan, Paris, Laga,Singapore, Copenhagen,Bogota, Chicago,Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Sao Paolo, Seoul, Shangai, Torina, and Vancouver.

It seems appropriate discussing Google   Zeitgeist since plus has become another thread in the fabric of social media. 2012 was an awesome year, and 2013 promises to be even better

Health Train Express will focus on health related topics in social media around the globe.

The week will bring together the world of social media…different views from different cultures. Social media will bring it together….social media is a form of information exchange.

Recharge, renew, innovate, greet change with enthusiasm, lead, or be lead.
