Marcel Bullinga // Welcome to the Future Cloud

Welcome to the Future Cloud

 

Author Bullinga courageously predicts what life will be like in much of the world in the future, starting with 2025. He is very specific and straightforward with his predictions, frequently exploring technology that has already been demonstrated or is on the drawing boards today. Bullinga focuses heavily on technology, interconnectedness, and transparency, all from the point of view of individuals. He also adds a healthy dose of personal responsibility. So he makes predictions about your home, your car, your office, your healthcare and the driving forces of change that are moving all technology forward and making your world more and more user (and family) friendly.
The "Future Cloud" that Bullinga envisions is an all-encompassing combination of intelligent technology that is seamlessly interconnected and enhances all aspects of life. He sees driverless cars dominating ground transportation, but does not find flying cars in our foreseeable future. "Too many difficulties with regulation." Hydrogen economy and fuel cells? "I don't think so. Too many ifs and buts." Real energy solutions will be"...expensive now, cheap later".
Everything will be intelligent and a part of the "Future Cloud." Access and control for individuals will be through personal "dashboards." Robots will be everywhere. Most will not look like popular images of robots (although there will be rolling or walking robots), but will exist as the intelligence in products of all kinds. Bullinga includes chapters about the future of money, healthcare, education and work, then explores "Happiness"; happy countries and happy people!
Welcome to the Future Cloud will give you lots of facts, lots of predictions, and many ways to think about the future. If you want to know where our world is headed, Bullinga offers a well considered view.
