Focusing on progress and modernity, the Futurists sought to sweep away traditional artistic notions and replace them with an energetic celebration of the machine age. Russian Futurism is usually considered a separate movement, although some Russian Futurists did engage with the earlier Italian movement.

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

One of the most well-known and representative declarations of this manifesto, first published on February 20, 1909, in the Paris newspaper Le Figaro, is a cornerstone of Futurist thought: “We affirm that the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.”

Origins of Futurism In 1908, the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti swerved to miss a cyclist and crashed his car in a ditch. The experience of the old bicycle versus the modern car inspired him to write his manifesto of Futurism, a movement that would conquer nostalgia and tradition.

Futurism had both anarchist and Fascist elements; Marinetti later became an active supporter of Benito Mussolini. Marinetti, who admired speed, had a minor car accident outside Milan in 1908 when he veered into a ditch to avoid two cyclists.

Definition : Imagining, envisioning, projecting and/or predicting what has not been realized. Futuristic thinkers have the ability to look past the events of today and into the possibilities of tomorrow. They can visualize compulsory new ideas about customers, products, services, strategies and business models.

Those futurists make between $33,000 and $111,000 per year with an average salary of $83,000 per year. What does the future hold? No one really knows, but ask a futurist.

adjective. of or relating to the future: a futuristic view of the world. ahead of the times; advanced: futuristic technology. (sometimes initial capital letter) of or relating to futurism: the futuristic rejection of traditional forms.

What is another word for futuristic?

Futures studies is the systematic study of possible, probable and preferable futures including the worldviews and myths that underlie each future. To understand the future(s), one needs a cogent theoretical framework. Four approaches are crucial to foresight (Inayatullah 1990).

Artificial intelligence is impacting the future of virtually every industry and every human being. Artificial intelligence has acted as the main driver of emerging technologies like big data, robotics and IoT, and it will continue to act as a technological innovator for the foreseeable future.

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are not new concepts but will revolutionize the world within 5 years. AR enhances reality while VR helps us forget it. Together, they open a world beyond reality, the internet or the internet of things; a new industry, the internet of experiences, is emerging.

Petersburg-based WSUN-97.1 FM, better known as 97X, announced Tuesday in a video update that Next Big Thing is canceled for 2020. “Right now, we need to pause, together, for each other,” on-screen text reads in the video. “For the bigger picture.

3D printers, sensor networks, virtual humans and other technologies under development now will drastically change our world in the decade to come, according to Cisco chief futurist Dave Evans.

In the year 2050, technology will dominate the workplace with artificial intelligence and smart assistants being commonplace, while the use of augmented and virtual reality continues to increase. Everything will be ‘smart’ – connected and data-driven. Technology will help us make organizations more personable.

The 2050 car is a driverless vehicle in the shape of a smooth pod that can change colour with the tap of an app. By 2050, cars will be fully autonomous and electric, with advanced customisation technologies.

By 2040, quantum computers will be more common and may even replace the transistor-based computers that we use now. Many disruptive tech experts believe that these computers will become standard equipment within the next 20 years as Moore’s law comes to a close.
