The Kojo Nnamdi Show

I have had the fun opportunity to chat with "futurists" now that my book "Where's My Jetpack?" is getting closer to its release date. Today, I met Tim Mack, the President of the World Future Society on the Kojo Show on WAMU, and a few weeks ago I met Stanford technology forecaster Paul Saffo on "The Forum" at KQED. I'm skeptical of the whole of idea of being a professional futurist, but I'm warming up to them!
