Hopes & Fears
The following is a listing of the hopes and fears about the future suggested by the participants in the 2/20/07 program on "Heartfelt Conversations About the Future."
Hopes
BIG Broadband – both a hope and a fear. Our nation desperately needs a policy to encourage competition and investment in FAST, OPEN and Affordable Internet access to regain our technology leadership for economic development and survival.
Peace in the future.
That the world will be at peace.
That animals will have a voice.
Humans will move to a place of honoring and caring for nature.
That more needy individuals have access to education etc.
Biochemists say that we only know what 5% of the DNA is for. What would life be like if we could activate 100% of our DNA. It perhaps won’t be transformation beyond conception.
People will show more gratitude.
Longer learning/loving/living through AI, space travel and colonization, uploading of brains (backup)
Finding my personal most powerful role in creating an inclusive, peaceful, powerful future. I hope to give my life as a leader to open hearts and transform old patterns.
Peoples of the world can put aside hatred and animosity toward others and develop understanding and love for others.
World peace.
We will learn again that we are a part of nature – before she casts us off –
World peace.
Fears
Declining position of the US in the world and how that will impact future opportunities for our children and grand children.
We will ignore reality at our own peril.
Technology will phase out human touch in a very big way.
The future of our grandchildren.
War- dark ages for humans again.
War. Hatred. Violence.
Can Austin adapt to its population growth?
War, destruction, pain will expand.
Spread of terrorism.
A far lower quality of life for our children and grandchildren.
Can the elderly stay in their homes with taxes and insurance costs rising?
Nuclear weapon incident.
