Looking to the Future

In 1972 the future was 2010.

In 1968 2001 A Space Odyssey was also very futuristic. But why is it that most articles about the future seem to focus on what technology we will be using rather than on who will be using it?

2010 Book CoverI wrote a blog post on my personal blog, www.ricvatner.com.au about this topic after reading Daniel Sinker’s post about the book 2010 – Living in the future which was written in 1972 (and I bet 2010 seemed like a long way off then). I intend to write a philosophical article on the topic for this blog in the near future.

However I thought I would flag the subject so you can have a think about it as well.

Please feel free to add your comments here or on my personal blog at http://bit.ly/aj9gC4 and I will include your ideas (with a link to your blog) in my forthcoming article.

Basically I would like to ask you how you see man developing in the next 50 or 100 years? Not from a technological point of view but rather how do you feel man will evolve “sociologically” over the next 50 to 100 years?  Will all the problems we face today; economic, global warming, population and environmental, change us for the better or worse or not at all? Will we still be here in a hundred years?

    Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing?

    Editors Note:

    What a shame such a nice comment but it was linked to a porn web site. Please people we do check these comments before approving them so why waste your time and mine by posting spam and / or trash.

    I really enjoy the interaction that comments allow and we want you to get the link love, but please, no one wants to see this section full of junk, porn and Viagra adverts.

    I have replaced the link to the porn site with one to a lovely Chinese culture web site that posted a comment here recently. Please visit them.
