With Special Guest Moderator - Francis Rabuck, Bentley Systems Highlights of the TechCast Project (www.TechCast.org) are presented, showing that breakthroughs in all fields are likely to transform society over the next decade or two. The forecasts are then used to define longitudinal scenarios that show exploding e-commerce and the green revolution are likely pull the global economy out of recession about 2011 and to produce a new economic boom about 2015. At about 2020, the data suggest that second generation computers are likely to arrive and advanced artificial intelligence is likely to automate routine knowledge. These forecasts collectively outline a likely path through the "global crisis of maturity" in which knowledge is readily available through intelligent machines, moving human attention beyond knowledge to consciousness itself in order to address climate change, energy, WMD, and other threats to the emerging global order. Audience participation will be actively encouraged. Presentation | Buy Book | Collaboration Study Listen to the audioComments (0)
