Remember the book 1984 and THAT was the future! How about 2000, the new Millennium, and THAT was the future! We've lived through all those futures, so what's the next "future"? One thing we know, the pace of technological change has accelerated. We'll take a quick look back, just to set the stage. Then we'll look ahead, not too far, maybe ten years. Remember how you did things before the smartphone? Now, what's likely to happen by the 2030s, driven by technology? We'll consider autos, airplanes, railroads, space travel, highways, healthcare, education, climate and environment, energy generation, etc. Will this be "Future Perfect"?
