QUOTE
Many scientists and futurists believe we are on the verge of a technological revolution that will look like a page ripped directly from a scifi novel.

22nd Century dives head-first into this brave new world on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, at 8 pm.

The program is one of three science pilots airing on PBS in January; only one pilot will move forward to become a series. Watch online or on-air and then tell us what you think of the program using the feedback form below.

In the premiere episode, guests arrive from the future, past and present to guide you through a quirky tour of the “World Wide Mind,” an intriguing theory that proposes that in the future our brains will be wired up so that we can communicate with the world effortlessly and instantly.

Science fantasy or futuristic nightmare? Watch the show and decide for yourself! Tune in on the 17th or come back January 1st to stream the program here.

We may well be "on the verge" - but they never get it right. Things the "experts" predict never happen. Many new developments are surprises. That's the lot of a futurist. Most of them are ex-weather forcasters. bump.gif
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.
