Graeme Codrington's Future of Work

This week we imagine a future where restorative justice and rehabilitation takes precedence over retribution and the prison-industrial complex. It's a dream, that doesn't imagine no criminals (we wish), but rather a different way of dealing with them. Here are some additional resources to go with this week's "news bulletin from the future".

Sometime very soon, we need to change our view of what "old age" looks like, and especially change what type of facilities we think older people will be happy living in. The simple version is that we need tech-enabled smart homes for seniors.

Imagine a future where grandparents are younger (or at least appear younger because they're healthier and living longer), where they get grandparent leave from their companies, and where we combine child and senior care in the same facilities. This is a wonderful vision of a future where society is more integrated and generative. That's this week's Throwforward Thursday vision of Grandparents of the Future.

Throwforward Thursday 77: DNA Data Storage Every day, humans produce 2.4 quintillion bytes of data, and this doubles every two years or so at the moment. Most of this is now stored in "the cloud", which might be invisible to us, but is actually in massive data warehouses all around the world. If this continues at this pace until 2060, every single part of the planet will need to be covered by data warehouses. Of course, we will find ways to store data more efficiently, and to reduce the size of hard drive space. But... add to all of this the energy and water used, and we have a massive problem in the making. One possible solution is to store data in DNA (no... not inside your body, but in DNA stored in controlled conditions). All of the world's data could be stored in a location the size of a small motor car, using almost no energy, giving off almost no heat, and lasting for 50,000 years before decaying. It sounds like an incredible solution. And it is coming soon. Further Reading: * Data Centers Are Unsustainable. We Need to Store Data in DNA. https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/11/08/data_centers_are_unsustainable_we_need_to_store_data_in_dna_863575.html * DNA storage: https://www.techradar.com/news/dna-data-storage-is-the-most-important-innovation-youve-never-heard-about

The BEST way to watch the World Cup About the only reason to pay for a premium TV subscription these days is live sport. If you're fan, you'll know the value of live sporting events. But come with me to the future - hopefully not too many years away - when live sports include a variety of immersive technologies that help us passionate supporters to get even closer to the action, experience being "in" the action, and being able to choose our own point of view during the game. The future of live sports broadcasting must surely be immersive and experiential. Wouldn't that be a brilliant way to watch the World Cup?

In last week's episode (https://youtu.be/1pk5KmeDDP0) I shared our TIDES Model of Disruptive Change as a tool you can use to know WHAT to look for when you're looking at future trends. This week, we talk about WHERE you can look for evidence, examples and glimpses of the future. It's all about "switching on your radar", gathering resources and building a network that help you to spot trends before other people do - and before they arrive on your doorstep fully formed. These are simple techniques, but can easily become part of your weekly routine, and will help you improve your strategic imagination. The additional video series that I mention in this episode is available for free at: https://academy.tomorrowtodayglobal.com/seethefuture

Slightly late this week, this is a special edition of ThrowForward Thursday, answering a question sent to us: "Where do you get all your ideas?" This episode I talk about our team's TIDES model of disruptive change, that helps us decide what to look for. These are the five most disruptive forces we believe are shaping the world, and we are constantly on the lookout for examples of change in these areas. Next week, we will take a look at WHERE we look, to help you and your team get better at scanning the horizon for yourselves. This is a longer episode of TFT than normal, but I hope you find it useful and insightful, as you develop your ability to think like a futurist.

Our story starts 20 years, as a fungal infection wiped out the world's frogs. It continues today as we see a resurgence in malaria and other tropical diseases because the frogs are not eating insects. And we realise that this is an all-too-familiar story of how our actions are damaging fragile ecosystems. We therefore look to the future, hopeful that we can find a way to stop the harm, reverse the damage and restore the environment. The end of frogs? Let's hope not.

VIDEO: Throwforward Thursday 71: The End of Water (and three possible solutions)

We all know that the world has a huge problem with water. We don't have enough of it in the places we need it. There are at least three solutions that could change this, and could be available by the middle of this century: we could make water, seed clouds and scale up desalination programs. But each of these solutions has massive problems that need to be solved before they're usable.

However we do it, we will have to ensure we do not reach the end of water. That would be the end of life.
