Sheldon Pacotti hosts Friday Farsight, a technology show with 29 episodes published.
Utopia. In a couple of decades we will have the technology to build it. Why then will we have to wait almost a century to live in it? Tune in to hear how today's wealth disparity is just the first tremor of seismic force
We can print shoe soles and parts for jet engines. Why not everything in between? Surely it's just an engineering problem, like going from 8-bit color to 16-bit. Or is it? Are the critics right that traditional manufactu
How will belief in God evolve over the next 500 years? Are we heading toward godless secularism, or will those seeking a complete understanding of the universe always pursue spiritual enlightenment? Read the full trend a
Do recreational drugs have to be "vices" — addictive and poisonous — or might we create mind candy that is perfectly healthy? And, if drugs lose their stigma, might they also lose their mystique? Does personality become
Your eyes are the universe perceiving itself. Are we part of a cosmic mission of self-discovery? Will our distant progeny command the process of universe creation? Or, on this timescale, are we just a slow, squishy "subs
They might only want to play Chinese Checkers. They might want to eat your head. When AIs start associating with each other... which will it be? And, will we really let this happen? Read the full predictions here: - Firs
George Carlin once said, "A house is just a place to keep your stuff." In the future, the house will *be* the stuff, and when it's time to move, no need to call a moving truck because the new house will morph itself to w
Express train to the stars, or pointless megaproject? For decades, nerd wisdom has assured us that a space elevator would be a leap -- or at least a climb -- into the space age. But given the rapid advance of reusable ro
Kind of like artificial butter, but for the soul. When these beauties arrive, will they cure the loneliness epidemic or sever the most intimate natural connection between human beings? Will they bring Heaven on Earth or
Don't tell the tech bros, but The Singularity -- that moment when future shock exceeds our understanding -- may be farther away than we think, or it may not even happen. Why? Well, tune in to hear our own self-improving
Democracy is in decline, if you believe the statistics, and the headlines. Sounds like fake news, but what do the numbers say? The trends in public opinion, technology, economics? Are Darwinian forces decimating the soci
Visiting another star system may cost hundreds of billions of dollars and take lifetimes to accomplish. Will we do it? If so, will we be transformed more by the images sent back, or by the civilizational effort to build
We know plastic is bad. Great masses float on the oceans, tiny specks lodge in our brains. Why don't we just stop using it? Are we just too lazy? Or are there fundamental limits to what can be replaced, and when? Read th
Will humanity choose to outsource the life process? Will that mean a new era of liberation, or of alienation? Does separating gestation from the female body resolve the ethical conflict between the sanctity of life and a
Humans dominate most of the Earth's surface because our survival depends on it. Or does it? Will biofactories one day produce all the food we need? Does the land then return to wilderness? What is life like in a high-tec
The dream of flight. It has captivated humanity for millennia. Missing from most of these dreams, though, is taking off your shoes and getting patted down by a TSA agent. Is the mythic vision of flying solo, free as a bi
This is not a Biblical tale of the Second Flood. Nor is it a tale of our sun phase-shifting into a red giant that swells with the ejecta of helium fusion until it burns all the water off the face of the earth, thus... un
We feel certain that humanity will settle outer space -- a lifeless, hostile void -- and yet we have made little attempt to build cities under the ocean, where there is wildlife, water, oxygen, and mineral riches that ar
Sounds crazy, but people are working on it. We have cybernetic prosthetic limbs. We have make-believe neural tissue running on servers and chatting with us in the voice of Pee-wee Herman. Can it be too much longer before
A purely digital economy would be a purely controlled economy. No one would be playing outside the game, making deals with briefcases full of dollar bills. But do we want people making deals with briefcases full of dolla
