Are We Obsessed With The Future?

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Are We Obsessed With The Future?
Published: December 13, 2015 by VPR Producer

We are a culture that’s obsessed with the future and technology. We want to “seize the future” like no other generation before, and become available to anyone 24/7 through the internet, wifi and cell phones. Our guests address these phenomena and discuss why it’s happening and how concentrating too much on the future and the internet affects our world, our relationships and our lives.


Guest Information:

  • Hal Niedzviecki, author of Trees on Mars: Our obsession with the future
  • Paul Andrew Sacco, PhD. Speaker, author of The Internet Apocalypse?
