Jamais Cascio on Gadgets and the Future

Armchair Anarchist writes "Futurismic has just posted the first column from its new monthly contributor, the renowned Jamais Cascio. Cascio is best known as a co-founder of Worldchanging.com, but is also a prolific blogger (at his own site 'Open The Future'), writer, public speaker and pundit on many aspects of futurism and foresight. This new piece sees him discussing the way futurist thinkers tend to focus on gadgets and technology, and advocating the use of more critical approaches."

Is this guy int he right line of work?

It must be really hard to be a futurist when your first name means "never" in French.

Don't try this at home, kids

So what we're reading...is some guy talking about other guys talking about their guesses for the future. It's...a whole new realm of mental masturbation. I'd try my hand at it myself, but I'm afraid I might break my mental wrist.

I feel like I should be blogging about us discussing this.

Seriously, the column linked isn't all that bad; but it's hardly newsworthy.
