The trailer you’re about to watch comes from one of Urban Times‘ favourite websites, Motherboard.tv – the video production home of forward-thinking blissful hi-tech geekdom. Last month they unveiled their newest web series, Upgrade: Higher Tech For Humankind. We are so excited about it because it’s highlighting individuals and organizations who, through a wild array of creative processes, are striving to “change the world for the better, generally without the help of big funding, institutions and labs”. Having just launched a similar series of our own – 15 Startups That Improve Our World, we feel a certain kinship. And it’s always such a great feeling to be reminded that you’re not alone.

And it starts today, which is good, because there’s a lot of work to do.
