Ian Goldin. The Future
Can we predict the future?
Professor Goldin begins his talk with some spectacular failures to predict
the future. His message to his young audience is: "Take control of your own
futures!"
Global Warming is just one of the issues which place humanity on the verge of extinction, or perhaps at risk of a cataclysmic collapse of our civilisation. But whilst many see this and many other current issues only as problems, Professor Ian Goldin, Director of the Oxford Martin School, outlines solutions using a variety of technological breakthroughs.
Professor Goldin's latest book, Exceptional people, was voted one of the best books of 2011 by The Economist.
