SUMMARY:David Weinberger “The Future\'s New Future: How our paradigm of the futu
re -- and our strategies for managing it -- are changing”
DESCRIPTION:\nThere have been a handful of times in our history when the
nature of the future has changed: not just its contents or its pace\, b
ut what we think the future is and how it works. David Weinberger\, Ph.D
.\, argues that we are at such an inflection point now. Progress is turn
ing from an upwardly-tilted line into a fruitful brambles. Our new metho
ds of prediction are essentially different from the Newtonian paradigm w
e carry in our heads. Our ideas about formulating strategy and making de
cisions have been transformed by the connectivity of the Net. Even our m
ost basic assumption that the way to success is to anticipate the future
and prepare for it is being challenged by online practices we now take
for granted. Beneath all of these changes is a paradigm of the future ac
cording to which we succeed not by limiting possibilities but by making
more of them. The result is a sense of the future enabled by our scaled
technology that is closer to what we have always sensed is the truth abo
ut it.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/david-weinbe

into a fruitful brambles. Our new methods of prediction are essentially

about formulating strategy and making decisions have been transformed by
the connectivity of the Net. Even our most basic assumption that the wa

e changes is a paradigm of the future according to which we succeed not
by limiting possibilities but by making more of them. The result is a se
nse of the future enabled by our scaled technology that is closer to wha
t we have always sensed is the truth about it.
