 Interested
in the 10-year future of virtual worlds, mirror worlds,
augmented reality, lifelogs, and other tech of the emerging
web? See our free industry foresight report and website:
Metaverse
Roadmap: Pathways to the 3D Web.
 Interested
in internet television, the next big emergence for the
global web? Read or watch How
the Television Will be Revolutionized,
John Smart, 2010. Real broadband, open media standards,
enterprising organizations, independent politicians,
and activist consumers will play key roles in maturing
this technology platform. The next ten years will bring
much greater democracy, subcultural diversity, collective
intelligence, and more creative destruction to traditional
film and television media.

FEATURED PROJECTS |
|
The
Physics of Performance Curves, an EDU Conference being
planned for 2013.
- What
explains the differential rates of acceleration in our technology
performance curves (computing, storage, bandwidth, energy production,
etc.) as documented in Performance
Curve Databases?
- The greatest gains occur in technologies where the rates of
miniaturization and virtualization
are the fastest. Why is this curious fact so little-known? What
are its business, policy, and social implications?
- Can we develop better predictive theories for the growth and
future of technology performance curves?
EDU is an
international community
of scholars exploring evolutionary and developmental processes
in the universe and its subsystems. What is predictable in complex
systems? What is accelerating change? How do we differentiate
between predictable and unpredictable processes in the universe?
Join us to discuss these future-important questions.
1. Can ASF's consulting arm, Acceleration
Associates, help your organization with keynotes,
talks, consulting, reports, seminars, or workshops? See our services
page.
2. Looking for a good wiki directory
of global foresight? Visit Global
Foresight.org, ASF's wiki directory of Networks,
Events, Programs, People, Orgs, and Resources for emerging global
foresight culture.
3. Desire a credential in foresight
work? See Foresight Graduate
Programs - Global List, ASF's list of top Primary
and Secondary graduate programs in professional foresight. Consider
these if you want interdisciplinary training in thinking about
issues of global progress and accelerating change.
4. Are you a foresight student,
educator, researcher, employer, alum, or advocate? Join the Foresight
Education and Research Network (FERNweb.org), a global
community of foresight students, researchers, educators (K-12,
university, professional) and employers working on projects to
advance foresight education and research.
5. Interested in learning and advancing
the science and systems theory relevant to acceleration studies?
Visit the Evo Devo
Universe research community, an ASF-sponsored global
network of scholars exploring and critiquing evolutionary and
developmental hypotheses and models of change in the universe
and its subsystems.
6. Like to meet other foresighted
folks in your local community? Start a Future
Salon, on your own or with a co-moderator. Invite
interesting local thinkers to give free talks on future-oriented
topics once a month (or less), and go to dinner afterward for
more conversation. Grow your network of change- and innovation-oriented
friends!
