Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2023/01/16

Apologies for the delay in posting this video meant for 12 Jan 2023. I've actually been in hospital myself, and my team was on holiday until today. This was pre-recorded, but the content strangely appropriate as we consider how to proactively and preventatively take care of ourselves. We don't have to jump too far into the future to imagine a healthcare system that integrates smart technology with AI and machine learning to produce health care apparatus, some as simple as plasters and bandages,

In 2021, a Dutch supermarket chain, Jumbo, created a special checkout line - it was designed to be slower and give people the opportunity to chat to each other and the cashier. It has received rave reviews, and Jumbo is now rolling it out to all their stores. Part of the reason for this is that many people are lonely. So much so that the UK government a few years ago created a "Minister for Loneliness". Japan has something similar. More people live alone than ever before - although being alone and

Throwforward Thursday 84: Food in the future

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/12/30

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

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?

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:

Throwforward Thursday 81: Overnight 3D Print Shops

2022/12/12

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,

2022/12/04

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 Seniors

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/11/24

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 Future

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/11/17

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 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

2022/11/06

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.

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.

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,

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

Throwforward Thursday 72: The end of frogs

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2022/09/29

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. READ MORE ABOUT THIS: *

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

2022/09/15

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?

2022/09/08

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,

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

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.
