Technology Futurism
As a subset of my interest in all things Cyborg, I've written a number of topics that consider the near-future of technology. Subjects include: current trends in the development of technology, the information technology industry proper, and the ways in which our current usage habits might affect the near-future development of technological things.
Since this is a fairly common topic on tychoish, the posts listed below reflect a primarily recent selection (as of Fall 2009) and a small fraction of the posts on this subject. I hope you find these posts useful, and if you see a post that you think should be included here that isn't please be in contact.
