Interesting series of interviews conducted by BigThink, about how the world will look like in 2050. The series contains 10 interviews, but those are the 3 that caught my attention:
1. "Faster, More Urban, More Diverse", by Richard Florida of the University of Toronto.
The changes to our urban and rural areas will reinvent our education system. Our economy will be less real estate driven, people will be more flexible, and the divisions between home and work and life will all fade away
2. "Descreet Technologies will transform cities" by Bill Mitchell from the MIT.
Cities won't look like "some sort of science-fiction fantasy," but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays will change the way we live in significant ways
3. "Everybody could be planting crops", by Glenn Roberts, owner of Anson Mills
The ethical responsibility to grow and preserve and sustain land-raised systems will survive, and local, land-raised cuisines will return and thrive.
