Focusing on futurist perspectives

Predicting the future can be a dicey proposition. Unless one is providing a cryptic Nostradamus-like forecast, most predictions tend to miss the mark. In celebration of IEEE Potentials' 30th anniversary, four prominent IEEE members offered to take a shot at what the world will look like 30 years from now. These futurist perspectives may differ from your own. We would like to hear your ideas on how the world will look in 2041. Please send your comments to potentials@ieee.org.
