Episode 149: David Wood speculates on the future of (mobile) technology

In the previous episode, 148, we talked to David about Mobile World Congress and the trends and themes he was witnessing.  After we finished the interview, he had a little bit more time so I grabbed the opportunity to ask David what his top 3 sci-fi movies were.  What follows is an absolutely fascinating ‘real-time’ riff from David on where he sees the future going — in terms of technology augmentation — and what to do about the human race becoming far too reliant on technology that may well turn against us.  Or that we simply couldn’t do without.

You can find out more about David and his technology consultancy at DeltaWisdom.com.  Get him on Twitter: @dw2

David’s got a fascinating event coming up this month called Humanity Plus.  The event aims to explore this question:

How will accelerating technological change affect human mental and physical capabilities as well as the environment in which we live?
