THE FUTURE!
Interested in finding out about Transhumanism? Want to find why people keep talking about Human 2.0? Thinking a lot about the possible technological singularity? Prehaps you just like technology and want to find out more?
This group is for people who are interested in the future and maybe want to help shape it.
Anybody is welcome to this group - you don't have to be a Techno Geek or work for some futuristic company to be in our group. The future applys to us all and major paradigm shifts in technologies like nanotechnology, genetics and computing are going to make the next few years very exciting indeed.
Come join in the debate - have your opinions voiced and maybe make some interesting new freinds.
All I ask is that members treat each other with the respect they would want for themselves. Our group has members of ages and backrounds and shares many perspectives on what the future may bring. Sometimes cynical and sometimes silly we approach the future with a open mind and sense of humour. Our group mission is to introduce you to some of the idea's, advancements and people who are making our future happen today.
If you have a subject you would like us to discuss at a meetup just drop me a line..
“New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can’t be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it’s not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along!” — Sir Arthur C. Clarke
