One constant in history has been a fascination with the “Future World” and the emerging technologies that shape it. Whether it be new forms of communication or transportation, a brand new idea, or simply an unimagined refinement of an existing discovery, we have always been curious about what comes next. Today, the world of cross-referenced technologies is advancing so fast that making sense of the “Future Word” is increasingly perplexing. What does it take to produce and sustain a “good” future through innovation and what ecosystem of creativity is needed for this to happen? What is a “good” technology and how will such technologies enable us to achieve a higher level of coexistence? What are the challenges ahead and how do we act responsibly for future generations? Syd Mead, a leading futurist, and artist for product and concept design and notably motion pictures, will give us some insights into how we should think, dream about, and hope for the future.
