Recent breakthroughs in science and technology are creating a world that is more peaceful, transparent and abundant, but because of our evolutionary hard-wiring most people focus overwhelmingly on negative trends rather than positive ones.
In this talk, Tane Hunter and Dr Angus Hervey, the co-founders of Future Crunch, will be looking at six key new technology trends – mobile communications, digital business, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology and renewable energy.
They’ll be pulling together, sifting through and identifying amazing stories about how these technologies are shaping the world of tomorrow, and showing how a better understanding of science is the most important tool people can have for the future.
If you’re interested in a fresh, intelligent and positive perspective on the world we live in, then come and join us.
This is an opportunity for people to connect, talk and be inspired to make the world a better place through science and technology.
