Connections are definitely more important than the things. And especially human connections are the basis for all other types of connections.

I would like to see technology integrate human sensors that help us gauge our mood and satisfaction levels so we can see what kinds of connections really benefit us and make us feel happy.

We have come up with a solution like this for education, but are still looking for someone to build it. In the new interdependent era kids will need to learn how their success is dependent on cultivating beneficial relations with everyone in their environment.
