FUTURIST SPEAKERS
The thrill and appeal of any lasting science fiction film is chance to dream about the technological possibilities that the future holds. The same thrill is at the heart of the work of a special kind of social visionary that we call a futurist. Barberusa.com is proud to host a variety of futurist speakers in our roster of available keynote speakers, each of whom will share exciting and optimistic visions about what the future may bring for the world.

The roots of futurists lie somewhat in the futurist art movement of the early 20th century, which looked at new innovations in technology, such as the camera, the automobile and the modern city, for inspiration. The futurist art movement’s association with technological innovation was furthered by writers like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, both of whom created many works of fiction that explored various technological possibilities and their implications.

As technology continued to become more powerful throughout the past century, specialty thinkers and scholars started to ponder the implications of the rapid expansion of man’s technology, leading to a scholastic tradition that is perhaps most popularly embodied today by technological innovator, Ray Kurzweil. Kurzweil has predicted that the rate of technological change is not a static increase, but rather exponential, with each technological innovation leading to another in such a way that our knowledge builds upon itself.

Further still, it is important for us all to consider the environmental concerns associated with technological change. Certainly we are becoming more and more aware every day that our technology has an effect on the environment around us, a consequence that requires our sensitivity to plant and wild life, the atmosphere, the soil, the water and all of the other elements of the world in which we live.

In today’s workplace, futurists have much to offer in the way of inspiration and preparation for employees.
