The topic of discussion for today was yet another interesting one. Personally, I think that forecasting in every aspect, be it in business or our personal lives, it's an important thing to practice. No doubt forecasting may never be accurate, at least it provides us with a framework of what we should should do and where we are probably heading. It basically gives us an idea of what we should work towards and also consider any possible failures and what contingency plans we should prepare for in case anything were to happen.
I quite enjoyed the presentations. What I found quite thought-provoking was how sci-fi movies were possibly a prediction into the future no doubt they are seem quite far-fetched when we watch them now. I would agree with prof in that if people of the past were to see the kind of technology we hold now, they would think it would have been impossible. Perhaps, the idea from movies like the Matrix may be a possibility. I'm not exactly sure about what the movie is really about but it seems to me that it does have a certain link with augmented reality, which is an emerging technology.
Perhaps in future, the flying cars that we have seen in the theatres would be real. It could also be another transportation route for us to take other than the conventional use of roads. Besides, the use of the skies would be a fun idea. But again, we need to remember that with the increased use of technology, we're prone to higher carbon footprints. So perhaps, with this thought in mind, the future could be all green to be environmentally-friendly.
Overall, I'd rate the session an 8.
