1993 ATT future - 14 minute video

2011 Corning Glass future - 5 minute video

2004 vision of "Googlezon" in 2014 - 8 minute video


Gary Snyder's future from "Four Changes" 1969, a completely different point of view:

A technology of communication, education,
and quiet transportation,
land-use being
sensitive to the properties of each region...
Careful but intensive agriculture
in the great alluvial valleys,
deserts left wild for those
who would live there by skill.

Computer technicians who run
the plant part of the year
and walk
along with the Elk
in their migrations
during the rest.
