Unique Features of Technology¡¯s Promise
Possibly the Best Technology Forecasts Ever Assembled Based on research that surveys 100 experts around the world using a sophisticated website (www.TechCast.org) breakthroughs are forecast for energy and the environment, robotics, e-commerce, biogenetics, transportation, and space. No forecast is perfect, but this work covers the entire span of technological innovation and the data are continually updated, providing the best possible answers to tough questions.
Results Show Massive Changes Ahead Results show that relentless advances in information technology (IT) are driving a ¡°Technology Revolution.¡± Knowledge – the very heart of scientific progress – is being harnessed on a massive scale to produce breakthroughs everywhere. We can now realistically envision replacing oil with sustainable energy, genetic control over the process of life, computer power becoming cheap and infinite, mobile communications at lightening speeds, robots serving as helpers, and much more to come.
Vast Opportunities for Creative Leaders Technology¡¯s Promise highlights strategic breakthroughs with profound scientific implications, big commercial potential, and great social impacts that are immediate enough to take seriously. Renewable energy, green business, telemedicine, advanced transportation, space tourism, and many other new frontiers should offer huge opportunities to solve today¡¯s massive challenges.
Takes Readers on a Virtual Trip Through Time ¡°Macro-forecasting¡± is used to integrate individual forecasts into decade-by-decade scenarios that outline the likely path ahead. 2010 should see advances in IT create a world that is smarter, faster, and fully wired. By 2020 artificial intelligence will permeate life and permit huge advances in telemedicine, virtual education, and e-government. About 2030, industrialization will reach most developing nations, with five billion people living at modern levels. But energy shortages, climate change, weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and other insurmountable threats will pose a ¡°global crisis of maturity.¡± By 2050, this crisis is likely to be resolved with the emergence of a global society, somewhat like a far larger and more diverse version of the U.S. or E.U.
Technology Leads to a Shift in Global Consciousness The Information Age should mature about 2020, leading to an era beyond knowledge where routine human thought is automated by artificial intelligence. As machines takes over common mental tasks, we will move up another level to address the ¡°global crisis of maturity.¡± The obstacles are enormous, but it is precisely because so many people are so deeply concerned that a shift in global consciousness is underway. We have accepted women in power, transformed planned economies into free markets, and begun to protect the environment. Now the really tough challenge of shifting consciousness lies ahead.
A Coming Transformation in Business, Government, and Other Institutions The book outlines the pivotal concepts emerging to transform social institutions for a knowledge-based world. Hierarchies are dispersing into ¡°self-organizing systems¡± able to manage complexity by harnessing the knowledge of ordinary people. And the old focus on profit is yielding to a ¡°corporate community¡± of collaborative partnerships with employees, clients, and the public. These two major trends represent a synthesis of the Western ideals of free enterprise and democracy, offering the possibility of resolving the political impasse between right and left that grips the U.S. and much of the world.
Technology May Even Alter What it Means to Be Human Breakthroughs in smart robots, computers that think and talk, and other forms of artificial intelligence will pose one of the most fascinating dilemmas of our time: Is there a fundamental difference between machine intelligence and human intelligence? Despite the fact that 90 percent of us are utterly convinced that human thought surpasses sheer information, could we all be wrong? Is science poised for another great revolution demonstrating that we are fundamentally not much more than wet computers? Or will we be forced to accept consciousness and human spirit as a new frontier?
The Transition Can Only Be Grasped From an Evolutionary Perspective The key to understanding this transition lies in seeing that technological evolution comprises a natural life cycle of the entire planet, much like the life cycle of any organism although infinitely larger. Think of the similar crisis every teen faces in shedding the baggage of youth to become a responsible adult. Whether a teenager or an entire civilization, the challenge is much the same – grow up or die.
Not Blind Optimism but Empirical Evidence These conclusions are not ¡°optimistic¡± but conservative estimates based on the scientific method. Technology¡¯s Promise recognizes that the world must mature if it is to survive, and the evidence presents an entirely plausible path forward. In fact, our forecasts describe the most likely outcome, rather than mere possibilities. There are no guarantees, of course, but this is a reasonable basis for a vision able meet today¡¯s challenges. Without such aspirations, nothing would change. We would remain captives of today¡¯s world.
Most People Will Live to See a Coherent Global Order The Technology revolution is likely to produce a coherent world order in our lifetimes. A 50-year-old today is likely to witness the global crisis of maturity at 70 years of age and the emergence of a global order at 90. The book notes that life extension should raise average life spans to 100 years by 2030, so these are realistic goals. This is not merely an intellectual exercise because most of us will witness this highpoint in civilization.

Unique Features of Technology¡¯s Promise
Possibly the Best Technology Forecasts Ever Assembled Based on research that surveys 100 experts around the world using a sophisticated website (www.TechCast.org), breakthroughs are forecast for energy and the environment, robotics, e-commerce, biogenetics, transportation, and space. No forecast is perfect, but this work covers the entire span of technological innovation and the data are continually updated, providing the best possible answers to tough questions.
Results Show Massive Changes Ahead Results show that relentless advances in information technology (IT) are driving a ¡°Technology Revolution.¡± Knowledge – the very heart of scientific progress – is being harnessed on a massive scale to produce breakthroughs everywhere. We can now realistically envision replacing oil with sustainable energy, genetic control over the process of life, computer power becoming cheap and infinite, mobile communications at lightening speeds, robots serving as helpers, and much more to come.
Vast Opportunities for Creative Leaders The book highlights strategic breakthroughs with profound scientific implications, big commercial potential, critical social impacts, and forecasts that are immediate enough to take seriously. Renewable energy, green business, telemedicine, advanced transportation, space tourism, and many other new frontiers should offer huge opportunities to solve today¡¯s massive challenges.
Takes Readers on a Virtual Trip Through Time ¡°Macro-forecasting¡± is used to integrate individual forecasts into decade-by-decade scenarios that outline the likely path ahead. 2010 should see advances in IT create a world that is smarter, faster, and fully wired. By 2020 artificial intelligence will permeate life and permit huge advances in telemedicine, virtual education, and e-government. About 2030, industrialization will reach most developing nations, with five billion people living at modern levels. But energy shortages, climate change, weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and other insurmountable threats will pose a ¡°global crisis of maturity.¡± By 2050, this crisis is likely to be resolved with the emergence of a global society, somewhat like a far larger and more diverse version of the U.S. or E.U.
Technology Leads to a Shift in Global Consciousness The Information Age should mature about 2020, leading to an era beyond knowledge where routine human thought is automated by artificial intelligence. As machines takes over common mental tasks, we will move up another level to address the ¡°global crisis of maturity.¡± The obstacles are enormous, but it is precisely because so many people are so deeply concerned that a shift in global consciousness is underway. We have accepted women in power, transformed planned economies into free markets, and begun to protect the environment. Now the really tough challenge of shifting consciousness lies ahead.
A Coming Transformation in Business, Government, and Other Institutions The book outlines the pivotal concepts emerging to transform social institutions for a knowledge-based world. Hierarchies are dispersing into ¡°self-organizing systems¡± able to manage complexity by harnessing the knowledge of ordinary people. And the old focus on profit is yielding to a ¡°corporate community¡± of collaborative partnerships with employees, clients, and the public. These two major trends represent a synthesis of the Western ideals of free enterprise and democracy, offering the possibility of resolving the political impasse between right and left that grips the U.S. and much of the world.
Technology May Even Alter What it Means to Be Human Breakthroughs in smart robots, computers that think and talk, and other forms of artificial intelligence will pose one of the most fascinating dilemmas of our time: Is there a fundamental difference between machine intelligence and human intelligence? Despite the fact that 90 percent of us are utterly convinced that human thought surpasses sheer information, could we all be wrong? Is science poised for another great revolution demonstrating that we are fundamentally not much more than wet computers? Or will we be forced to accept consciousness and human spirit as a new frontier?
The Transition Can Only Be Grasped From an Evolutionary Perspective The key to understanding this transition lies in seeing that technological evolution comprises a natural life cycle of the entire planet, much like the life cycle of any organism although infinitely larger. Think of the similar crisis every teen faces in shedding the baggage of youth to become a responsible adult. Whether a teenager or an entire civilization, the challenge is much the same – grow up or die.
Not Blind Optimism but Empirical Evidence These conclusions are not ¡°optimistic¡± but conservative estimates based on the scientific method. Technology¡¯s Promise recognizes that the world must mature if it is to survive, and the evidence presents an entirely plausible path forward. In fact, the forecasts describe the most likely outcome, rather than mere possibilities. There are no guarantees, of course, but this is a reasonable basis for a vision able meet today¡¯s challenges. Without such aspirations, nothing would change. We would remain captives of today¡¯s world.
Most People Will Live to See a Coherent Global Order The Technology revolution is likely to produce a coherent world order in our lifetimes. A 50-year-old today is likely to witness the global crisis of maturity at 70 years of age and the emergence of a global order at 90. The book notes that life extension should raise average life spans to 100 years by 2030, so these are realistic goals. This is not merely an intellectual exercise because most of us will witness this highpoint in civilization.
