Identifying a list of technologies that will have an impact on a specific area is an important necessary step. Understanding how these effects could be requires a different, yet complementary approach.
Together with envisioning we have jointly developed several radars on various topics, all focusing more on the technologies, than on what they could enable once implemented and actually used.
Inspired by 53 forecasted emerging technological solutions that are expected to impact the interactions between humans and machines, we asked science fiction writers to develop four interactive narratives of potential futures having the interactions with the technologies at the center of the intrigues.
We hope this additional step leads towards a better understanding of the opportunities and consequences that future technologies could represent in that context.
We wish you an interesting reading of these stories in which you are the hero!
