Future Technology

OUR FOCUS
Here, we explore Future Technology - Predictions, Scenarios, Trends, and more. How will technological advancements look different in 10 years vs. even 50+ years from now? How will the human condition be affected? How will business be disrupted? Promotion of relevant talks, workshops, hackathons, movie screenings, company visits, parties, group trips, and other types of events are welcome to be shared with our Future Technology Meetup members on this platform.

STRUCTURE
This Meetup has a flat organizational structure; all members are encouraged to host and/or promote events for the Future Technology community, however you must connect with the Organizer and get permission to post about your event, otherwise it may be removed.

Collaborations and co-promotions can be facilitated by the Organizer. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments or ideas.  We're here to help and are excited to build on relevant exploratory goals with you!

Liability Waiver can be found at the bottom of the page.

Listed below*** are some technologies and scenarios predicted by science fiction writers, futurists, technology experts, myself and members of the group. Our hope is to effectively provoke more dialogue and innovation and encourage new considerations of what is possible.
