OSHER 531 - Future Perfect

Remember the book "1984" when we thought THAT was the future? How about 2000, the new Millennium, and THAT was the future? We have lived through all of those futures, so, what is the next "future"? One thing we know, the pace of technological change has accelerated. Let's look ahead, not too far--maybe 10 years. We will take a quick look back, just to set the stage. Remember how you did things prior to the Smart Phone? What is likely to happen by, say, 2030, driven by technology? We will look ahead at automobiles, airplanes, railroads, space travel, highways, healthcare, education, climate and environment, energy generation, etc. Will this be "Future Perfect"?
