Visions of the Future: Episode 1: The Intelligence Revolution (2007) http://www.youtube.com Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku shows how, in the 21st century, artificial intelligence is going to become as ubiquitous as electricity, how robots with human-level intelligence may finally become a reality, and how we #39;ll even be able to merge our minds with machine intelligence. As the challenges and choices are literally mind-bending, Dr Kaku asks how far we will ultimately go. Episode 2: The Biotech Revolution (2007) http://www.youtube.com Leading theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku looks at the revolution in genetics and biotechnology, which promises unprecedented health and longevity but also raises the spectre of a Frankenstein future of genetically engineered people. Will we, as transhumanists expect, evolve into a new species? Dr Kaku warns that we may end up in a world divided by genetic apartheid. Episode 3: The Quantum Revolution (2007) http://www.youtube.com Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku shows how quantum physics is giving mankind the power to manipulate the fundamental building blocks of matter.

"While the other two coasts struggle with economic stagnation and dysfunctional politics, the Third Coast -- the urbanized, broadly coastal region spanning the Gulf from Brownsville, Texas, to greater Tampa -- is emerging as a center of industry, innovation and economic growth."

Wake up and good morning. Leave it to famed trend watcher and futurist Joel Kotkin to offer a fresh geographic and economic appraisal of the gulf coast region stretching from Texas east to Tampa Bay as a rising powerhouse.

"Over the past decade, Texas and Florida have ranked first and second among the states in net domestic immigration, combining for a gain of roughly 2 million people. Together, Houston and Tampa have gained more than 1.5 million people over the course of the decade."

Kotkin's insights appear in an interesting piece this week headlined The Third Coast in City Journal, which is part of the Wall Street Journal. Here's a link to the complete story.

Kotkin's key point is that the gulf coast is gaining population and economic power as an energy center and international shipping and trade region best situated to take advantage of doing business with Latin America. Granted, Kotkin focuses on Houston as the rising star and America's next great city, but the context of the gulf coast region, which he cites as stretching east to Tampa Bay, suggests this metro area is part of a bigger geographic and economic trend.

The article is the latest of many reminders of how important the Port of Tampa and some of the nearby secondary ports are to the larger metro area. Especially as the search is under way to find a super-sharp successor to Port chief Richard Wainio.

Kotkin's written many books on urban and economic trends. His new book, The Next Hundred Million: American in 2050, suggests the United States will continue to be a powerhouse with 400 million (versus today's 300 million) population. But running counter to much of the "smart growth" scenarios in which future growth will be built on higher density cities and less sprawl, Kotkin says the next 100 million will spread themselves across a broader, smarter and more economically independent suburban landscape.

Got to love the futurists. Read this Kotkin piece for a different slice of where Tampa Bay may fit in the economic days ahead.

Paradise or Oblivion Trailer
Paradise or Oblivion is a free online documentary created by The Venus Project. Original music by Carly Paradis (www.carlyparadis.com) from her album "They Have Been Watching". This documentary details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system. This video presentation advocates a new socio-economic system, which is updated to present-day knowledge, featuring the life-long work of Social Engineer, Futurist, Inventor and Industrial Designer Jacque Fresco, which he calls a Resource-Based Economy. The film details the need to outgrow the dated and inefficient methods of politics, law, business, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, and use the methods of science, combined with high technology, to provide for the needs of all the world #39;s people. It is not based on the opinions of the political and financial elite or on illusionary so-called democracies, but on maintaining a dynamic equilibrium with the planet that could ultimately provide abundance for all people. Paradise or Oblivion, by The Venus Project, introduces the viewer to a more appropriate value system that would be required to enable this caring and holistic approach to benefit human civilization. This alternative surpasses the need for a monetary-based, controlled, and scarcity-oriented environment, which we find ourselves in today. This is not the "major motion picture" that The Venus Project is working towards but rather is ...From:FlightToTheLightViews:7 1ratingsTime:02:57More inPeople Blogs
