Slide 7: The Technology Age - The Rise of the Creator

Explanation: This slide marks a profound shift from controlling physical systems (outlets, supply chains) to controlling digital ones. Wealth became rooted in knowledge and skill—specifically, the ability to speak the language of machines. The example of Bill Gates is not just a historical note; it's the central lesson of the slide. It illustrates that the greatest opportunities lie not in reacting to an era, but in anticipating and building for it while others are still unaware. This introduces the critical concept of "building before the era arrives," a mindset that becomes essential for thriving in the accelerating ages to come.
