Why everyone wants a piece of Greenland - ThrowForward Thursday 18412 Mar 202600:03:24

I think I know why Donald Trump wants Greenland. But why does everyone else see it as strategically important? It's not what you think. But it will change the world. Listen to this week's episode to find out more.

What it means to be human in an age of Robots - ThrowForward Thursday 18326 Feb 202600:05:06

If robots can be developed to run ultra trail marathons and compete in sporting events, then why should humans even bother anymore?

Maybe it's less about being better than someone else, and more about finding out where one's own limits are. Maybe that's the essence of being human.

In this episode of ThrowForward Thursday we ask how advanced humanoid robots are rewiring not just our view of automation and technology, but also our view of ourselves.

Also, as a bonus... keep an eye on my progress towards running one of the world's toughest trail marathons, the Otter Challenge in October 2026. 

ThrowForward Thursday 174: Imagine - end of 2024 message13 Dec 202400:02:55

Imagine... the future is imaginable. And our imaginations help to set the tone for how we engage with the future, and the world around us.

So, at the end of 2024, let's imagine the best possible future we can - whatever that might mean for you. For me, it would be a world without war. Thank you for your support and feedback on our scenarios over the past year.

We plan to come back in the new year with a whole new format for these scenarios - we are excited to share that with you. But first... take a break. Have a refreshing and rejuvenating holiday, and we will see you in 2025.

Throwforward Thursday 84: Food in the future30 Dec 202200:02:05

As we spend this last week of December battling to remember what day of the week it is, and finally finishing off the leftovers from our Christmas meal, here's a quick thought about food in the future.

We will definitely be able to get more and more nutrients from pills, smart medicine and artificial sources. Part of the drive to do this is to reduce our impact on the planet by way of factory farming. But, at the same time, food is not merely about nutrition - it's also an experience and a time of potential human interaction. That will never go away, but maybe in the future we will be more intentional about which version of meals we choose: some will be for nutrition only, and some will be for enjoyment and socialisation.

Whichever versions you still have left in 2022, the team at ThrowForward Thursday wishes you all the very best for the new year. We will see you next week in 2023.

Throwforward Thursday 83: Smart glasses for driving and biometric feedback22 Dec 202200:02:51

We know that smart glasses, which include VR, AR and XR functionality and heads up displays are coming. But what if those glasses could also look back at us, and especially assess our physical and emotional state using biometric feedback from our eyes?

Throwforward Thursday 82: Energy (tomorrow and today)15 Dec 202200:03:33

We've talked about alternative and green energy solutions before on Throwforward Thursday (episode 6 - https://youtu.be/rI76SEIT2Ms and episode 24 - https://youtu.be/3nck4-WLYHo). Today, we look not at the future but at something that happened last week as we got proof that nuclear fusion is possible. We knew it theoretically, and have had small successes in tokamak reactors around the world, but last week was absolute proof that we are on the right track.

Here are some links to the announcements:
* https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/what-a-breakthrough-in-nuclear-fusion-technology-means-for-the-future-of-clean-energy
* https://futurism.com/physicists-breakthrough-proves-fusion-power-possible

In 2023 the world is facing an energy crunch. But by the end of this decade we are likely to have significant long-term, cheap and clean energy available all around the world. The future is coming faster than we imagined, and solving big problems in ways we couldn't have imagined.

Throwforward Thursday 81: Overnight 3D Print Shops12 Dec 202200:04:33

Apologies for the late posting of this episode of our weekly series into future trends. Today we imagine that we might have dedicated 3D print shops, or maybe 3D printers in local building supplies stores, that will be able to print out any 3D design for you overnight.

A few decades from now we will probably all have multipurpose 3D printers in our homes, but between now and then, we will be able to go to local 3D print shops to do a quick print out of anything we need. Email them the design file, drop by later today to collect it. Simple.

The link to Episode 8 on 3D printing is: https://youtu.be/G1BXDAMAOAc

ThrowForward Thursday 80: The End of Prisons04 Dec 202200:05:48

This week we imagine a future where restorative justice and rehabilitation takes precedence over retribution and the prison-industrial complex. It's a dream, that doesn't imagine no criminals (we wish), but rather a different way of dealing with them. Here are some additional resources to go with this week's "news bulletin from the future".

Throwforward Thursday 79: Smart Homes for Seniors24 Nov 202200:05:05

Sometime very soon, we need to change our view of what "old age" looks like, and especially change what type of facilities we think older people will be happy living in. The simple version is that we need tech-enabled smart homes for seniors.

Throwforward Thursday 78: Grandparents of the Future17 Nov 202200:05:24

Imagine a future where grandparents are younger (or at least appear younger because they're healthier and living longer), where they get grandparent leave from their companies, and where we combine child and senior care in the same facilities. This is a wonderful vision of a future where society is more integrated and generative.

That's this week's Throwforward Thursday vision of Grandparents of the Future.

Throwforward Thursday 77: DNA Data Storage12 Nov 202200:04:47

Throwforward Thursday 77: DNA Data Storage

Every day, humans produce 2.4 quintillion bytes of data, and this doubles every two years or so at the moment. Most of this is now stored in "the cloud", which might be invisible to us, but is actually in massive data warehouses all around the world. If this continues at this pace until 2060, every single part of the planet will need to be covered by data warehouses.

Of course, we will find ways to store data more efficiently, and to reduce the size of hard drive space. But... add to all of this the energy and water used, and we have a massive problem in the making.

One possible solution is to store data in DNA (no... not inside your body, but in DNA stored in controlled conditions). All of the world's data could be stored in a location the size of a small motor car, using almost no energy, giving off almost no heat, and lasting for 50,000 years before decaying. It sounds like an incredible solution. And it is coming soon.

Throwforward Thursday 76: Communicating with Animals (and anyone in any language)06 Nov 202200:04:12
Imagine using the technologies we are currently developing to help us with voice recognition and real-time translation to be able to understand what animals are saying, and even talking to them in their own languages? This is a very real possibility by the 2040s. What a world that would be.

This week's Throwforward Thursday might sound fantastical, but it's really an invitation for you to imagine what the world will be like when language is no barrier to communication.

Throwforward Thursday 75: The future of live sport on TV27 Oct 202200:03:45

The BEST way to watch the World Cup

About the only reason to pay for a premium TV subscription these days is live sport. If you're fan, you'll know the value of live sporting events. But come with me to the future - hopefully not too many years away - when live sports include a variety of immersive technologies that help us passionate supporters to get even closer to the action, experience being "in" the action, and being able to choose our own point of view during the game.

The future of live sports broadcasting must surely be immersive and experiential. Wouldn't that be a brilliant way to watch the World Cup?

ThrowForward Thursday 173: CEOs are not safe05 Dec 202400:10:02

On December 4, 2024, the CEO of one of America's largest healthcare insurers was shot dead on the streets of Manhattan. Angry people, living in a world that is filled with inequality and feeling squeezed on every side, will eventually snap. This is not something we want, nor is it a call to arms. But it is a possible future scenario that CEOs of large companies might need to be as careful of their personal security as many politicians currently are.

The antidote is to build future-proof businesses that see doing good as good for business. This isn't just a cute tagline - it is a core pillar of the DNA of a future-proof business.

Our team at TomorrowToday helps organisations to understand what a future-proof DNA looks like, and to identify the drivers of disruptive change taking us into that future. Contact us to discover more about our work: http://www.tomorrowtoday.consulting

ThrowForward Thursday 74: Where to look to see the future13 Oct 202200:11:45

In last week's episode (https://youtu.be/1pk5KmeDDP0) I shared our TIDES Model of Disruptive Change as a tool you can use to know WHAT to look for when you're looking at future trends.

This week, we talk about WHERE you can look for evidence, examples and glimpses of the future. It's all about "switching on your radar", gathering resources and building a network that help you to spot trends before other people do - and before they arrive on your doorstep fully formed.

These are simple techniques, but can easily become part of your weekly routine, and will help you improve your strategic imagination.

The additional video series that I mention in this episode is available for free at: https://academy.tomorrowtodayglobal.com/seethefuture

ThrowForward Thursday 73: Where we get our ideas (The TIDES Model of Disruptive Change)10 Oct 202200:15:29

Slightly late this week, this is a special edition of ThrowForward Thursday, answering a question sent to us: "Where do you get all your ideas?"

This episode I talk about our team's TIDES model of disruptive change, that helps us decide what to look for. These are the five most disruptive forces we believe are shaping the world, and we are constantly on the lookout for examples of change in these areas.

Next week, we will take a look at WHERE we look, to help you and your team get better at scanning the horizon for yourselves.

This is a longer episode of TFT than normal, but I hope you find it useful and insightful, as you develop your ability to think like a futurist.

Throwforward Thursday 72: The end of frogs29 Sep 202200:03:19

Our story starts 20 years, as a fungal infection wiped out the world's frogs. It continues today as we see a resurgence in malaria and other tropical diseases because the frogs are not eating insects. And we realise that this is an all-too-familiar story of how our actions are damaging fragile ecosystems.

We therefore look to the future, hopeful that we can find a way to stop the harm, reverse the damage and restore the environment.

The end of frogs? Let's hope not.

Throwforward Thursday 71: The End of Water (and three possible solutions)23 Sep 202200:05:22

VIDEO: Throwforward Thursday 71: The End of Water (and three possible solutions)

We all know that the world has a huge problem with water. We don't have enough of it in the places we need it. There are at least three solutions that could change this, and could be available by the middle of this century: we could make water, seed clouds and scale up desalination programs. But each of these solutions has massive problems that need to be solved before they're usable.

However we do it, we will have to ensure we do not reach the end of water. That would be the end of life.

Throwforward Thursday 70: The end of emails15 Sep 202200:04:38

I don't know how far into the future we need to go before we find the end of emails, but in my opinion it can't come soon enough. Emails need to go the same way as faxes, telegrams and telexes. It won't happen with one single replacement solution, but rather with multiple different apps and options that replace the overwhelming inboxes we deal with today.

Why don't you start now to do what you can to reduce emails for your team, your clients and your business?

Throwforward Thursday 69: The end of sex08 Sep 202200:06:35

More people - especially young people - around the world are choosing not to get married, not to have long-term relationships, not to have children, and to have less sex. No, it's not the time of free "drug, sex and rock 'n' roll" anymore.

We are not predicting the actual "end of sex", but possibly a significant shift in sex "as we know it" today, with many opportunities emerging for sex toys, sex aids, sexual health and sexual fulfilment industries.

There's nothing rude or crude in this video, but it might still cause one or two blushes to consider how sex might change in the future. If you're interested in even more insights, a research report from our team at TomorrowToday called The Future of Sex is available at https://www.graemecodrington.com/post/throwforward-thursday-69-the-end-of-sex

Easy Future Conversation 8: How we can improve investing in the future05 Sep 202200:12:03

This is the final part of my conversation with Easy Equities' Carel Nolte, and we finish our series with a chat about what we can do to improve investing in the next few years. Carel really knows his stuff, and the insights generated from over a million users at Easy Equities means they're probably got the most up to date insights to share.

As always, we also talk about wine, and you'll hear my disappointment in not being able to introduce Carel to a stunning new wine - only because he already knows it, and agrees it is stunning. We both agree that this is a perfect way to end our series: to discover that something we thought was not yet experienced is actually already available. The future is here already.

OK... maybe we stretched the wine and investing analogy just a bit, but I hope you appreciate the insights and enjoy the conversation.

Throwforward Thursday 68: The end of sand01 Sep 202200:04:19

We use sand for pretty much everything we can see around us - including the glass in the screen you're watching this on. And we are running out of sand. This is a bigger issue than you probably realise, and about as important as running out of water will be for our way of life.

Bonus: Easy Future Conversations 7: What can go wrong29 Aug 202200:06:31

We are all caught up now...

Carel Nolte of Easy Equities and myself, Graeme Codrington, continue our conversations about the future of investing - and wine - by talking about what can go wrong.

We touch on the problems of unrealistic returns, overblown promises, day trading, lack of research (and what "research means" to the average investor), and staying the course as an investor. We discuss whether we agree with Warren Buffett's investment advice about making sure you don't pick losers rather than trying to pick winners, and what to do when we really want to panic about the markets and losing money.

In the end, it comes down to having a plan, being consistent and believing in yourself. And knowing when to call it quits - like we had to do with our corked wine.

Bonus: Easy Future Conversations 6: Offshore investing29 Aug 202200:07:00

Carel Nolte and I continue our conversations about the future of investing, with some interesting ways to diversify your portfolio by investing "offshore". It's not always what you think (for example, most of the Top Ten stocks on the Johannesburg Stock exchange make almost all their income "off shore").

We then sample a corn wine from the Netherlands, and hastily retreat... because we still had two more videos to record, and that corn wine would have finished us.

This is video 6 of 8 - next week we will look at what can go wrong when investing, and will finish the week after that with what could go right in the future of investing.

If you're based in South Africa, and want to check out Easy Equities, you don't have to change your current broker or any of your current products, but you might find it to be the best online platform you can use for investing in SA and off shore.

ThrowForward Thursday 172: A Data Center sues town for all its water28 Nov 202400:06:00

It could happen. Sometime in the future. Data centres use an incredible amount of electricity and water. Towns that incentivise these data centres to locate nearby for jobs and tax benefits might find themselves dealing with unrealistic demands for power and water - to the point where a data centre could sue the town to continue providing them with water even if it means the people living in the town get cut off.

For more details of just how much power and water data centres use, listen to Paris Marx's 4 part mini series on the Tech Won't Save Us Podcast: https://techwontsave.us/episode/241_data_vampires_going_hyperscale_episode_1

Bonus: Easy Future Conversations 5: The wine you like, the apps you use and where we get our ideas29 Aug 202200:07:00

Apologies for the delay in releasing these Easy Future Conversations to the podcast. Here are a few bonus episodes to catch up with the YouTube feed. 

We are half way through the conversations I had with my friend, Carel Nolte, about the future of investing, what he's learnt from his work at Easy Equities, and our love of wine.

Carel hijacked this segment by forcing me to try a Rose wine (he believed he had found one that I would like). So we start with the wine, but then Carel expertly leads the conversation into a discussion about the future of investing, how we decide what approach we should take with investing, and provides some insights into what his team at Easy Equities have found from the analysis of over one million trading accounts (including how they design their platform and constantly improve the user experience).

And, yes, we did have fun with this one...

Throwforward Thursday 67: The end of Hotel Room Service (and a few things your company offers...)25 Aug 202200:04:21

Now that we can get food delivered to us from any restaurant to anywhere, we don't have to rely on the room service offered to us by the hotel we're staying in.

OK... this isn't really a "future prediction" as it is a potential reality already. This week's "lesson from the future" is less about hotels, food delivery and room service, and more about the potential of unexpected competition in your own industry.

But, if you do find yourself in a hotel and don't like the room service options, don't forget you have choices these days.

Throwforward Thursday 66: The end of Antibiotics18 Aug 202200:04:05

Antibiotics changed our world 100 years ago, probably adding about 20 years to average lifespans as we dealt with infections and disease. But bacteria are continuing to adapt and are fast outpacing our antibiotics. It is very likely that by 2050 our current antibiotics will be useless, and that could dramatically change how we manage healthcare. We need to use fewer antibiotics, in ourselves and in our food supply; and we need to look for alternatives to antibiotic use to combat bacterial infections.

Throwforward Thursday 65: The end of rush hour traffic11 Aug 202200:04:58

Why do we still have rush hour traffic - with EVERYONE trying to get to work and school at the SAME TIME every working day? It's 2022 and we know about flexible working, and public transport and even the potential for AI-managed traffic systems (via traffic apps or driverless cars). This is not so much a prediction as a hope and plea that we rid the world of the curse of rush hour traffic as soon as possible.

Throwforward Thursday 64: The end of retirement (as we know it)05 Aug 202200:05:44

One of the dumbest things we do in business is force people to retire, simply because they hit a specific date in the calendar, even though they might be excellent contributors and still want to continue working. As individuals, most of us already know we can't afford to retire in our sixties (especially if we are going to live much longer than previous generations). And many of us would rather save to give ourselves flexibility and dignity, rather than merely to be able to afford to stop working. 

The concept of retirement needs to change, for individuals and organisations.

Easy Future Conversations 4: New options for investments (and getting kids investing)01 Aug 202200:11:02

The fourth (of eight) conversations with Carel Nolte about the future of investing where we talk about alternative investment options, asset classes for the future, and how we can get children interested in investing. 

As always, we also talk about wine, and this time chat about an interesting blend made by an interesting wine maker, Erika Obermeyer. If you're not a fan of the wine conversation, skip a few minutes to the end to hear Carel talk about getting future generations involved in future investing.

Throwforward Thursday 63: The end of... meat from animals28 Jul 202200:03:54

Imagine a world in which we don't eat meat from animals. No, not a world with no meat, but a rather a world where our meat is grown in labs, rather than on animals. And no, not fake or artificial meat (from soya or plants), but rather meat grown from animal stem cells, indistinguishable from "real meat". In fact, it IS real meat. 

If we can do this, and ensure that it is healthy, economically viable, sustainable and ethical, the question is: would people eat it. I think they will. And I think it's coming sooner than you think. 

Welcome to Throwforward Thursday. Welcome to tomorrow's world, today.

Easy Future Conversations 3: Investing 101 = Diversify (but in new ways)25 Jul 202200:07:14

In this mini-series, my mate, Carel Nolte and I talk about the future of investment, the importance of wealth creation and I get to dig into some of Carel's insights from his work at Easy Equities (a South African investment platform that you can check out here: https://bit.ly/3Pdd2qN - no obligations, but full disclosure: I earn about $2.50 if you activate an account after you've had a look).

We also talk about wine, because Carel and I never talk seriously about anything without wine...

This is our third conversation, and Carel suggested we go back to the basics - to the very foundational principle of investing: DIVERSIFY. But he explains (in between sips of a fantastic red blend wine with lots of interesting, diverse grape varietals in it - see what we did there...), that maybe diversification can mean something different now than it did in the past.

I hope you're enjoying these conversations as much as I did when I had them with Carel.

Easy Future Conversation 2: Creating Wealth18 Jul 202200:09:03

This is the second conversation with my mate, Carel Nolte, where we talk about the future of investing, specifically about the ways in which we can build intergenerational wealth. The so-called "American Dream" from a century ago was that if you worked hard, your children could live a better life than you did. This dream should be the mantra in Africa for the next few decades, and it involves thinking differently about what we do with our money, the land, employment and investments.

There are no simple solutions here, but these are the right conversations, and Carel brings some wisdom from what his team at Easy Equities are seeing as ordinary South Africans build wealth and a future. Carel and I also savour a fantastic Cape Blend from Idiom wines, that helps us prove the point about leaving an investment to grow better over time.

ThrowForward Thursday 171: The 15 hour work week21 Nov 202400:05:32

Nearly 100 years, the famous economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that by 2030 we would all be working just 15 hours a week. If only, right?

  What went wrong? There is an answer, but you're probably not going to like it. We need to change the whole system to ensure we are not crushed by a system that seeks relentless productivity, endless activity and soul sucking workloads.   Maybe the 15 hour work week is an idealistic fantasy. Or maybe it's a motivating goal to drive a change in our current world of work?

Throwforward Thursday 61: The end of... diamonds14 Jul 202200:08:19

There are a lot of diamonds in the world - a total of about 6 billion carats (weighing around a million kilograms), with around 140 million carats mined every year. But known reserves will run out within a decade or so. That won't be the end of diamonds, though. We can now make diamonds in labs.

Not "fake" diamonds - we can make real diamonds. But do we want to? Do you care, if you don't know the difference? Either way, we are facing the end of our current relationship with diamonds in the very near future. Diamonds - it seems - are NOT forever.

Bonus Conversation 1: Retirement and the future of investing11 Jul 202200:07:48
So here it is: the first of my series of conversations with Carel Nolte. We are long-time friends who often get together to talk about life, the universe and everything - almost always with a bottle of wine. We decided to record our conversation about the future of investing, so you could listen in. I am doing research for a new book, and Carel brings his years of experience at Easy Equities to the discussion.   The result is 8 conversations, each about 8 minutes long, with 8 bottles of wine. Why not?

Throwforward Thursday: The future of investing with Graeme and Carel Nolte08 Jul 202200:02:56

One day late, but that's because I spent yesterday with my good mate, Carel Nolte, talking about the future of investing and what he has learnt from his work at Easy Equities - an innovative investing platform based in South Africa.

This is a quick introduction to a new series of 8 videos of Carel and I talking about the future of investing. Over the next 8 weeks, I hope you enjoy listening in to our discussions.

BONUS: Young people and tech support06 Jul 202200:04:10

Here is a quick bonus episode of the Future of Work podcast, sharing an insight I discovered in a report from O/Slash. There's a hidden and surprising reason young people don't want to come back to the office: they waste a lot of time being tech support for older colleagues.  Here's how to fix that, and build a better team culture.

Throwforward Thursday 60: The end of... investment brokers and fund managers30 Jun 202200:08:22

Sometime in the 2030s, artificial intelligence-driven algorithms will prove to be better at picking stocks and managing investment funds than human beings - removing emotion, trading faster with more information, and course-correcting better than we can.

We didn't think computers would beat us at Chess or Go - we were wrong. "Playing the market" might very well be something left to smart machines, as we see the end of... investment brokers
and fund managers.

In fact, this would be the end of EVERYTHING.   There's an insect apocalypse happening at the moment. All around the world, studies are seeing alarming decreases in insect populations. The world as we know cannot survive without insects, so we need to take this seriously.

Here is some reading and links to important research studies:

Throwfoward Thursday 58: The end of... chocolate (& 3 things we can do to avert potential disaster)19 Jun 202200:05:11

A few days late this week, ThrowForward Thursday jumps to the year 2050, where we might have no more cocoa trees in the world. And that would mean the end of chocolate as we know and make it today.

There are things that can be done to ensure this doesn't happen - let's make sure we do them. We don't want to live in a world without chocolate, do we?

Throwforward Thursday 57: The end of... series09 Jun 202200:03:48

This week we start a new series about things that are going to end in our lifetimes, and how that will impact the world we live and work in. No, it's not going to be doom and gloom - some of these things can be replaced, and some we can do without anyway.

But our focus is actually going to be on how to prepare for deep structural and disruptive change, with foresight, innovation and adaptability. Please make suggestions for what should be on our list of things coming to an end at http://www.askaboutthefuture.com

Throwforward Thursday 56: Xenobots - Living Robots02 Jun 202200:05:59
Made from the stem cells of the African Claw Frog, xenobots were created at the University of Vermont in 2020. They're tiny organisms that have been DNA programmed to do specific tasks.   By the 2040s we should be able to program xenobots to do very useful, very specific tasks for us, from collecting radioactive materials to breaking down plastic pollution. They could even be used in our own bodies to destroy cancer cells or clean cholesterol plaque from our arteries.

Throwforward Thursday 55: Natural born humans need not apply26 May 202200:02:23

Some jobs in the future will require special skills, restricted to those people who have agreed to augment their human skills with additional functionality of robotics. This could be anything from exoskeletons that increase strength and endurance to bionic senses and even enhanced mental processing skills.

Cyborgs - human/machine hybrids - are coming.

ThrowForward Thursday 170: My AI assistant chooses who I vote for07 Nov 202400:03:51

Elections are messy, noisy and can overwhelm voters with too much information and too many choices. In the future, it could make sense for us to rely on our personal AI assistants - algorithms trained on our preferences, understanding our worldviews and able to mimic who we are in communications and interactions - to analyse every politician, their promises, their track record and what we expect them to be able to achieve, and advise us on the best person to vote for in any given election. It's a great application of the power of data analytics and pattern recognition that GenAI apps are capable of, and it would probably help voters make more informed choices… rather than voting based on charisma, fears or history.

Throwforward Thursday 54: Artificial Ears and Eyes19 May 202200:04:46
Right now we are advancing our ability to fix problems with ears and eyes and replace broken parts to give sight and sound to people. In the near future, we will be able to go a step further and both bypass the eyes and ears sending signals directly to the brain, and also enhance the eyes and ears with bionic capabilities.   Medical advances in the next decade or so are going to be quite mind blowing.

Throwforward Thursday 53: Integrated Real-Time Translation12 May 202200:03:31
The development of real-time translation apps - for text, voice and visuals - is moving at breakneck pace. Although still not perfect, they are already remarkable. The next stage of their development will be the integration of these tools into our everyday lives, including into AR (augmented reality) devices like glasses, smart headphones and other wearables.   This is a very near future reality, and a massive business opportunity in many different markets. Once the tech companies make translation APIs available, they can be included almost anywhere.   CONSIDER THIS: How would having no language barriers change the way you do business and live your life?
