ThrowForward Thursday 180: What if our Medicines Stop...

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2025/10/30

In Season 6 of ThrowForward Thursday, we are revisiting some of our previous predictions and finding out what's happening in the world right now. This one is scary. In Episode 66 (see https://youtu.be/V-b-U2Zf4V4 ) we talked about the end of antibiotics. Just this past month, in October 2025, the World Health Organization released a research report on antibiotic and AMR resistance, and it's getting worse and worse (see:

ThrowForward Thursday 179: Cape Town Marathon Cancelled

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2025/10/23

Sport can't fight weather The 2025 edition of the Cape Town Marathon was cancelled due to strong winds making the course unsafe. It's not the first major sporting event to be affected by weather; and it won't be the last. Back in 2020, I was due to run the London Marathon. It was cancelled due to Covid, and we were encouraged to run a 42.2km distance in the 24 hours of the day of the marathon to earn our finisher's medal. I did that in the Covid-emptied streets of Johannesburg. We've talked about

2025/10/09

In a world filled with AI slop, fake news, photoshopped photos and AI generated videos, how do we work out what is true, what is real, and what is not? In this week's ThrowForward Thursday episode, we look at six ways we can respond to a post-truth world.

ThrowForward Thursday 176: Deep Fakes Revisited

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2025/10/02

Deep fakes have been around for a while - in fact, way back in 2020, I was one of the first people I knew to feature in a deep fake video (it wasn't very good, but it was a sign of things to come). The era of fake videos has arrived much faster than we thought we would. It's here, right now. We need to learn how to navigate a world in which we cannot trust what we hear, read or see. It's sad, but it's the reality (or is it real at all?). This week, we revisit some of our predictions about the

Welcome to the new season of ThrowForward Thursday. Each week, we will be looking back over the 175 episodes we've recorded in the last four years, and seeing which of our future predictions are starting to come true - what we got right, and wrong, and what it tells us about the world we live in today. Join us every Thursday for a Tour Guide to the Future.

ThrowForward Thursday 174: Imagine - end of 2024 message

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/12/13

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

ThrowForward Thursday 173: CEOs are not safe

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/12/05

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

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/11/28

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

ThrowForward Thursday 171: The 15 hour work week

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/11/21

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

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/11/07

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

ThrowForward Thursday 169: The End of Company Emails

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/11/01

Don't get too excited by the title - it's not quite what you think. In the future, it is possible that companies will not supply us with email addresses, but we will rather bring our own (just like we buy our own cars, phones and have your own personal cellphone numbers these days). This is more than a technology conversation - this is about fractional workers (senior people working for more than one company at the same time) and top talent being confident to say that their personal brand is more

2024/10/26

Imagine logging into your web browser and there's just nothing: no websites anywhere. You check your internet connection, and that seems fine. Your phone seems to be working. Except most of the apps are showing error messages, and there are just no websites. This is what would happen if the DNS system stops working. This is the system that turns your website request into an address the IP and HTTP systems can understand. And our DNS systems are incredibly fragile, completely out of date, and most

2024/10/19

Come with me to 2029, when a dark side of the robotic world becomes reality. The robots we will deploy in care homes and kindergartens - those humanoid robots who look after our elderly and children - are now revealed to be controlled by underpaid and overworked human operators in sweat shops on the other side of the world. Yes, of course, we will one day have fully autonomous, talking robots in the future. But for quite some time between now and then, the best way to achieve this is to have some

2024/10/10

It's sometime in the future, and the next version of your favourite smartphone has just been released. Once again, the marketing hype is astounding, but the reality disappointing. What did they say: it's a few millimetres smaller (or bigger), and slightly lighter, and the camera has some extra megapixels and zoom, and ... that's it? Smartphones should be curing cancer already. There's more computing power in my smartphone than existed on the entire planet when I was born half a century ago. As

Graeme Codrington"s Future of Work ·

2024/09/27

Imagine what the world would look like if we all had the data about our genetic makeup, and we could see the many multiple ways our genetics shape who we are and what we are capable of. Imagine that gender wasn't the issue it is today as we think of the classifications of sports codes - no longer would be it "male" and "female" as the only two categories, but rather many different categories based on whatever genetic characteristics were most applicable. And then imagine, we could also apply genetic

2024/09/19

They're coming (as you will see if you watch the video on YouTube, mine has already arrived ;-). But the clones of the near future won't actually be copies of our bodies, but rather algorithms designed to copy our thinking. https://youtu.be/B4hwb1ELvXY Sometime in the future, we will develop the technologies to allow us to create copies of humans. But that's probably a long time in the future. More practically, we should be able to copy the way that people think, and digitise their personas,

It's September 2082, and we mark the 50th anniversary of the official start of what has become The Great 50-Year Global Drought. Cities have been emptied, country borders changed, wars fought and entire economies gutted... and there seems to be no end in sight. This episode of ThrowForward Thursday is based on historical facts. Back in 1177BC, a 300 year drought caused the almost complete collapse of multiple civilisations in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean areas. You can listen to Dan

2024/08/29

More of a hope than a prediction, this episode of ThrowForward Thursday has a rant warning attached, as we imagine a future where companies have stopped outsourcing their supplier management to procurement services that make it incredibly difficult to sign contracts, send invoices and get paid for the products and services rendered. Stopped because - maybe - it has been made illegal to outsource procurement! The cost savings companies make by outsourcing procurement services are completely
