The Future is nearer than you think

March 25, 2012

Invisible army tanks, flying cars, space elevators and artificial meat were all part of this week’s FutureTech segment on Perth radio’s 6PR with Jason Jordan and me.

This nostalgic look at tomorrow’s more unusual stuff was our way of closing off another year of summer radio.

Thanks Perth and I’m looking forward to returning for my 8th season in mid October 2012.


I will know what you’re thinking…

Technology that can read your minds, predict your thoughts and see your dreams were all part of today’s on air discussion between radio ABC Australia’s Adelaine Ng and myself, as we delved into some of the most prolific public perceptions of the future.

The flying car also got a mention, this is the perennial favourite, but the reality is far more boring; it’s been around for decades but authorities won’t allow it into the airspace.

We also had a great chat about the future of the brain and the work being done to discover how it works and how we may be able to “fix” it when it’s broken. (audio not available)
