Possible Problems of the Future (2020 - 2040)
The people of today and tomorrow will determine the height and nature of the future's ceiling. This course is here to help adults to envision the problems of that future. More importantly, it is intended to help today's children to be inspired and empowered to see those problems as resolvable challenges. Finally, this course is a first step in reforming curriculum so that it addresses the skills needed to solve foreseeable problems that tomorrow's adults will need to solve. Here are a few problems that are plausible in that future. The OLLI class will modify and refine this preliminary list with their research, discussions and surveys.
Possible Problems of the Future (2020-2040)
1. How will there be access to sufficient quantities of affordable, potable water for all of its multiple uses?
2. How will humans find meaningful employment in a future world where robots have the ability to perform most human tasks?
3. How can the human population not exceed the world's carrying capacity?
