Futurists, who are they?
Literature paved the way......
Reality is that which, when
you stop believing in it,

Designers in all disciplines have the enviable task of creating possibilities beyond the
limits of the mundane and predictable, to invent not just the idea but the rationale for futures not yet within the grasp of available
technique.

I like to tug on the hem of Microsoft and remind them that they need to be thinking about some future version of Windows that ships fully stereo-enabled, that goes in
concert with these devices, and that they should be talking to their various partners, and technology partners about this, and I think it’s going to happen.
