OLFUTURE - Future Perfect Presentation

Course Description

Remember the book “1984”by George Orwell and THAT was the future! How about 2000, the new Millennium, and THAT was the future! We’ve lived through all of those futures, so, what’s the next “future”? One thing we know, the pace of technological change has accelerated hasn’t it? Let’s look ahead, not too far, maybe 8 - 10 years. We’ll take a quick look back, just to set the “stage”. (Remember how you did “things” prior to the Smart Phone?) Now, what’s likely to happen by, say, 2030, driven by technology? We’ll look ahead at autos, airplanes, railroads, space travel, highways, healthcare, education, climate & environment, energy generation, etc.. Will this be “Future Perfect”?
