Entrepreneur Julie Meyer, founder of First Tuesday – a networking forum for technology entrepreneurs – talks about the world of the next 50 years.

She discusses how she believes that entrepreneurs are the core of society, and that they are right. She believes that the Internet exists to deliver on the promise of capitalism: Give the right tools to individuals and they will change the world. The power of the Internet lies in its ability to empower individuals, not just corporations.

This TED talk took place at TEDxBrussels in late 2011. This entire series was dedicated to speakers telling how they thought the world would look in the next 50 years.
