Today is first annual Future Day: Ignore it and just keep building the future yourself

In the tech business – which is dominated by vendors whose explainers, marketing and indoctrination materials relentlessly brainwash technophiles into a narrowly focused, self-serving view of both the market and the world – the last thing we need is another Life 2.0 movement that spends all its time deriding our current life and promising how great the next one is going to be.

There was a time when most of those movements ended up locked in safehouses, waiting for aliens to take them back to the mother ship (for autopsies).

Now they try to convince others of their own fantasies about how great specific advancements in technology will be, rather than working on advancing it in the first place.
