Peripheral Futurist: Netscape Revisited

http://peripheralfuturist.blogspot.com/2009/03/netscape-revisited.html

Thursday, March 26, 2009. I wrote a review of Google Chrome- Google's browser entry- back in September, 2008. In it, I described the philosophy behind the browser, and the features provided in the Windows version. With several month's experience and looking at Google Chrome in context with Google's other applications and services, it occurred to me that I was having a. Moment. The Google environment reminded me of something similar I had seen or heard about years ago. Then I remembered: Netscape! Basical...

Monday, January 26, 2009. Tipping Point 2009: Part 1. Predictions and prognostications are a stable at the beginning of every year. This post is a little different. The developments proposed here are all currently available and represent viable, proven technologies. The subject here is when the technology will reach a critical mass in the mainstream market, thus representing a tipping point for mass acceptance and adoption. I propose the following will have a tipping point in 2009. Walt Casey, Ph.D.

Peripheral Futurist: December 2007

http://peripheralfuturist.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 19, 2007. The end of every year brings 1) a retrospective of accomplishments and failures in the current year; and 2) a look ahead to expected developments in the coming year and the longer-term future. Herewith is my review of the past year and prognostication for the coming year. The movement against global warming reached critical mass:. Going back to the early 1970s, issues of ecology have been discussed, debated, and slowly evolving. Anyone remember. By Rachel Carson (1962)?

Peripheral Futurist: November 2008

http://peripheralfuturist.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 28, 2008. The Future of the Christmas Holidays. A debate has been raging for a number of years about "putting Christ back in Christmas." The debate posits that Christmas is a religious holiday versus those who believe that Christmas is basically a commercial holiday. If the past is prelude to the future, commercialism will win. It is another example that capitalism and religion don't exactly mesh. Walt Casey, Ph.D. Monday, November 24, 2008. The Future of Education. I was watching a tele...

Peripheral Futurist: Verizon Just Doesn't Get It

http://peripheralfuturist.blogspot.com/2010/02/verizon-just-doesnt-get-it.html

Thursday, February 11, 2010. Verizon Just Doesn't Get It. Business is about more than neat technology, flashy phones, high-speed services, and the next new thing. That would be life it was lived by a technologist. In reality, the world is filled with people who must provide for their families, obtain a little enjoyment from life, and make their money go as far as possible in these hard times. Unfortunately, many companies just don't get it. If you call Verizon's crack customer service personnel- a daunti...

Monday, July 28, 2008. What Does Spam Say About Us? This got me to thinking about who sends me spam and what they are trying to sell me. Therefore, I plan to take about a month's worth of spam and do an analysis of the content. Walt Casey, Ph.D. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Energy - Time for a Real Change. It is a sad state of affairs that our two presumptive presidential candidates don't seem to realize the criticality of our energy dependence. McCain, like Bush wants to maintain the status.

Peripheral Futurist: February 2009

http://peripheralfuturist.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 27, 2009. Death of the Newspaper. I was saddened to see the demise of the Rocky Mountain News which published their last edition today after 150 years in business. This got me thinking and in discussion with friends of mine about the future of the newspaper and news organizations in general. First, everyone has them, second an opinion can't be wrong- only agreed or disagreed with, and third, opinions and fact are very different things. What is your opinion? We'd love to hear from you.
