Future Innovation

En marzo de 2020, a punto de que el mundo colapsara por una pandemia global, Carlos Master Muñoz sólo pensaba en una idea: «¿Cómo puedo hacerle frente a esta crisis y salir ganando?» La respuesta sigue siendo la misma: innovando. Como resultado, en lugar de perder dinero, Muñoz vivió el mejor año de su vida en términos financieros. La innovación salvó su vida y sus negocios en aquel año que para muchos fue nefasto.Y si tú entiendes esto, algo parecido te sucederá a ti. Para eso ha escrito este libro.

We have been underselling the future. In fact, the future will be neither dystopia nor utopia (which is an actively harmful dichotomy) - it will be what we do the work to make it. And the best way to the brightest future is to focus on what we can do, and make sure we are working to get there. Kate O’Neill, author of Tech Humanist and Pixels and Place, explores the ways we have already begun to solve human problems at scale, and makes the case for an approach that’s both hopeful and strategic as our best chance at a truly bright future.

David Rowan travels the globe in search of the most exciting and pioneering start-ups building the future. He’s got to know the founders of WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Google, Spotify, Xiaomi, Didi, Nest, Twitter and countless other ambitious entrepreneurs disrupting businesses in almost every sector. And yet too often the companies they’re disrupting don’t get it. They think they can innovate through jargon: with talk of change agents and co-creation gurus, ideas portals and webinars, make-a-thons and hackfests, paradigm shifts and pilgrimages to Silicon Valley.

Finnish inventor, composer, and futurist Perttu Pölönen argues that the next revolution is a human revolution. To counterbalance the world we digitalized, we need to develop creativity, perseverance, compassion, and curiosity - those same soft skills that give our lives meaning and set us apart from machines. What can we get from you that we can't get from Google? Join Pölönen as he takes a practical, personal look at our ever-changing technological landscape while investigating our ability to respond, adapt, and evolve as a society.

A unique tour around the world in search of the great thinkers of our time and their next big ideas. With the world at the threshold of profound changes, the questions become: Where are the philosophers? Where are the great thinkers of today? Where is the next Jefferson, Curie, or Mandela? Which technologies and changes in the nature of life will they harness, embrace, or be inspired by?

How smart machines are transforming us all - and what we should do about it. The smart machines revolution is reshaping our lives and our societies. Here, Nigel Shadbolt (one of Britain’s leading authorities on artificial intelligence) and Roger Hampson dispel terror, confusion and misconception. We are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of superintelligent robots of our own creation. We were using tools before we became Homo sapiens and will continue to control them. How we exercise that control - in our private lives, in employment, in politics - and make the best of the wonderful opportunities will determine our collective future well-being.

Best-selling author Newt Gingrich proposes a bold vision ofthe future: America is on the cusp of a renaissance, a new birth of technological and scientific innovation that will dramatically transform the prosperity and quality of life of every American. Our biggest enemy? Special interest groups, powerful lobbyists, and government bureaucrats who aredetermined to squash, control, or prevent these innovations - and permanently change the future of America.

It's the 21st century, and let's be honest: things are a little disappointing. Despite every World's Fair prediction and the advertisements in comic books, we are not living the future we were promised. By now, life was supposed to be a fully automated, atomic-powered, germ-free Utopia, a place where a grown man could wear a velvet spandex unitard and not be laughed at. Where are the ray guns, the flying cars, and the hoverboards that we expected? What happened to our moon colonies and servant robots?

Wie ein Boom an Innovationen die größten Probleme der Menschheit lösen und unser Leben verändern wird. Autos, die kein Benzin mehr verbrennen, an keine Steckdose mehr müssen und allein über die Straßen steuern. Getreide, das mit wenigen Tropfen Wasser wächst und ganze Dörfer ernährt. Krankheiten, die von allein Alarm schlagen und sich selbst ausrotten - zu schön, um wahr zu sein? Im Gegenteil: Zum ersten Mal könnten diese Dinge Wirklichkeit werden. Christoph Keese hat mit deutschen Erfindern, Gründerinnen, Investoren und Innovatorinnen gesprochen, in ihre Werkstätten und Labors geschaut.

Unsere Mobilität ist im radikalen Umbruch. Elektromobilität zieht in unseren Alltag ein, wir teilen unsere Fahrzeuge und Fahrten, lassen uns auf der App die besten Fahrwege anzeigen, springen vom Scooter in die Bahn und ins Auto und testen die ersten autonom gefahrenen Meter. Wir erfinden Mobilität neu - überall auf der Welt. Mobilität ist aber noch viel mehr als die Frage: "Wie komme ich von A nach B?" Sie ist ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis, der Ausdruck unserer Bewegungsfreiheit in unserer demokratischen Gesellschaftsordnung.

This selection comes from the 1910 book on the history of the telephone by Herbert N. Casson. The two sections cover the birth of the phone and its future. What makes this fascinating is how 110 years ago writers viewed the future of such a communicative device.
