About Positive Futurist

Positive Futurist is an organic, growing resource center dedicated to people who take the future seriously. These individuals recognize that humans shape the future through everything that they do, and that it is critically important to take the future into account when making decisions. Decisions made with adequate foresight advance us toward our long-term goals. While we must deal with immediate problems as they arise, this must not prevent us from looking ahead to prepare for future problems and opportunities.

The goal of this website is to help those who take their future seriously to recognize and understand significant trends and where they may lead. This provides a framework for decision making. Keeping up with the ever-increasing complexity of our world will open doors that may seem magical. Opportunities for longer life, better health, abundant wealth, expanded creativity, easier travel, and more leisure time are already happening, and we can only dream of what treats lie in store for us in the coming years.

Today’s technologists speak of “NBIC convergence” – the interaction of advances in nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive sciences. Positive Futurist takes this one-step further by focusing on how these technologies play on each other to advance exponentially as the speed of change gains momentum.

Positive Futurist presents an original science and technology piece every Tuesday right on our “Home” page that we share with various print publications and on-line blog sites. Exciting topics include future events that promise to unfold during the twenty first century and beyond. All previous original articles are stored in “Published Work” for your perusal.

For those on the go, we offer a free weekly newsletter, which includes our latest original piece, and the week’s most important NBIC articles from other sites, sent directly to your desktop.

By investing only a modest amount of time on the Positive Futurist website, readers will gain greater understanding of how to achieve personal, as well as business goals.

In simple terms, we dedicate this site to you and your information needs. If you are searching for optimism in this crazy fast-advancing technology world – you are in the right place.
