A WINK FROM ASIA

André and I attended a presentation of the Foundation Albert II of Monaco in Shanghai

The preview of the movie Hidden Beauty by Disney Nature seduced us. Previously, during the explanation of certain projects, it seemed increasingly clear that despite the goodwill of NGOs, sustainable success in the field of environmental protection will be obtained only by political decisions on highest level. That may be what is the strength of the Foundation of Prince Albert which is lead by a Head of State. Early in the era of blogs, only ten years ago, it was the french blogger Loïc Le Meur who introduced me to what was still a huge novelty. And now who do you think I who still hesitates to twitter ran into at 1 am in an elevator in Tokyo? The same Loïc who proves to me that Solar Impulse can not call itself an innovator if I don't twit. Well, probably I'll join his great Twitter Fair in Paris in December, trying to be convinced!It's said that Asians ask only few questions after a lecture. This is not the experience that Andre and I have made in Kyoto, Tokyo and Shanghai where we have given four presentations for Solvay and Omega, and for the STS Forum (Science and Technology for Society). We were simply overwhelmed by the questions that were posed following the programs. It's a pleasure to see the interest in new technologies in these countries!
