Forbes Special Report - Communicating

[rhinoceros] Very interesting. There's Noam Chomsky, Arthur C. Clarke, Kurt Vonnegut and much more. Here's an excerpt from Henry Jenkins' "On The Acceleration Of Change"

"One of the things that interests me is that if you look at science fiction, the first sci-fi novels that came out at the beginning of the 20th century had to imagine thousands of years into the future in order to imagine a future different enough to be interesting. Contemporary science fiction has to only move out five to ten years to be as dramatic. The time frame of the future gets narrower and narrower."
