The Futures go to Washington

Listen now to the Futures (Al&Sun) in Washington D.C.

This month we were invited to participate in the DC Independent Film Festival, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.. The official theme was “Virtual Rights and Avatars,” but naturally we included drones as well, some historical motion capture and a great moment with Walter Cronkite.

We spoke about emerging trends in technology and entertainment in the Canon Building, one of the offical Congressional office buildings, right next to the Capitol.  It’s been quite a hoot!  Also, curiously enough, our regular guests, filmmakers Brett and Shannon Leonard, also happened to be in DC at the same time, but meeting with govenment agencies about Virtual Reality and it’s future..interesting times. 

For a fuller experience of our talk, check out the video version here. Enjoy!

Future News - Autonomous Accident, Satellite Analysis of Poverty, Telling Virtual from Real,Google's Cool new Robot, Deep thoughts on VR with Mrs. Future and Brett Leonard 

Listen Now to Future News with Brett Leonard 3.01.16

Lots to think about besides politics on this Super Tuesday in the US..We loved the hour call in from Brett Leonard, filmmaker and VR pioneer, where we discussed some of the more dicey issues of VR, like can we have total creative space in this new world, with privacy at least as good as what we have with our own private thoughts, or what? We also look at wildlife secrets, thanks to new low-cost sensors that allow us to track our fellow creatures on this planet..Some interesting mysteries are emerging, like why do whales like to gather at underwater mountaintops or Condors like to soar for 100 miles at a stretch? It’s a good show this week, enjoy!

Future News - Bruce Damer on Wesley Clark's deep cyber legacy, McAfee Blasts FBI requests of Apple, Infinite Eternal Memory System Created,Minibrains as new lab rat, Athlete VR training 

Listen Now to Future News 2.23.2016

Sadly one of the great minds of personal computing, Wesley Clark, passed this week.  We have Dr. Bruce Damer to share with us a little about the life and legacy of this great man. Before he passed he helped to restore one of his great inventions, the LINC computer, the first machine designed for a single operator.  This historical working minicomputer now resides at the Digibarn in Boulder Creek, CA. 

In the world of biotech, we have a new kind of lab rat for testing drugs and therapies, a quivering orb of human brain cells, minibrains grown from your own skin cells.  Quite amazing. Equally incredible is a new computer memory system that can store information for billions of years, insuring our legacy as a species far beyond even the age of the planet itself.  Why is this important? Civilization backup possibilities, avoidance of dark ages in our future evolution, immortality for our progress for futue societies. Fascinating stuff this week, enjoy!
