More Flavor: Lecture Embracing Uncertainty: The Secret to Effective Forecasting

  • Long-now-foundation_large

Much has been made of Google's promise to create a universal digital library, but it's hardly the only Bay Area organization with its eyes on the distant future. Established in 1996 (and named by producer Brian Eno), the Long Now Foundation encourages a broader view of history than the one fostered by four-year election cycles and annual reports. Projects thus far include a 10,000-year clock, a platform to preserve the world's languages, and an ongoing lecture series on long-term thinking. Board member and resolute futurist Paul Saffo gives this month's seminar — on the challenges and imperatives of technology forecasting.
