Shaping the future





Charlie's Diary: Shaping the future

I understand that you're expecting a talk about where the next 20 years
are taking us, how far technology will go, how people will use the net,
and whether big shoulder pads and food pills will be fashionable.
Personally, I'm still waiting for my personal jet car — I've been
waiting about fifty years now — and I mention this as a note of
caution: while personal jet cars aren't obviously impossible, their
non-appearance should give us some insights into how attempts to
predict the future go wrong.
