Amy reveals how the practice of foresight itself must change with the times, from a way of studying the future to a more activist undertaking which she calls “Now Futurism”. Now Futurism recognizes that even if foresight looks at the future, we—futurists, those of us seeking to influence the future—must act in the present.
Comments afterward:
“A fascinating talk by a fascinating scholar. Dr. Zalman captivated the audience with a wealth of ideas and information. Her talk of the future and futurism could have been dark and bleak; and yet, she presented it all in positive, hopeful light while remaining realistic. -Marie
“Was a very interesting talk that put the past and present into perspective” -Bill G.
“A wonderful, interesting overview of futurism (not the Marinetti kind) where it came from and where maybe it should consider heading.” -Caleigh F.
