Ian Goldin: global problems from the near and far future.
By 2030, that’s only 20 years from now (seeing as how we are only 7 weeks away from 2010) Ian Goldin says, and he is far from alone in this thought, that the average person who is dissatisfied with the way technology has left them behind, will have the means at their disposal to destroy the world through the creation of a bio-hazard. I think he’s right, in fact I think he’s too pessimistic and that it will be sooner than that, given the pace at which technology is progressing.
Ian Goldin is director of the 21st Century School at Oxford. Through the school’s program of research, collaboration and education, he’s powering new, cross-disciplinary thinking about global problems from the near and far future.
