I believe you'd have to turn to science fiction writing these days. Well, that or the futurist movement.
But for the most part, I think the public has lost its thirst for knowledge about the far off future. We're much more of a "want it now!" culture. I find it very sad.
- JonnieCache 16y agoI think this is because people have gotten so used to rapid innovation that they no longer look to the far future for the arrival of new tech, because it now arrives week on week. As a consumer, why speculate on the next 100 years when you know from experience that you will have some undreamed of tech next year? I don't see this as a bad thing. As long as those in society that actually do the innovating don't completely succumb to a similar myopia.
