***Feedback from the Interactive Workshops***
[A workshop participant about the increasing speed of life:]
"Sometimes I worry about how much time I spend with them (new
technologies). It makes me anxious I suppose. It seems to change too fast,
and I need to have the best and latest stuff. It's a viscious circle. Too
much to learn with so little time."
***What Vision of the Future designers and futurologists say***
"People want to feel more close, and how can we do that? A 24-hour window
on the Internet is maybe one mechanism. Virtual togetherness, a virtual
family, is becoming possible."
(Shizu Munekata, strategic consultant, Enhance Inc., USA)
***What the media say on Vision of the Future***
"In Philips's society of the future the physical needs of everyone will be
gratified. People will be looking for fulfilment of intellectual and
spiritual desires."
(Jeroen van Bergeijk, WAVE, October 1996)
