Futureneering or future nearing?

March 31, 2005 Graeme Codrington Future Trends No Comments

I have recently acquired an awesome piece of software, Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 8. This is voice recognition on steroids. I am in the process of training it to my voice and my vocabulary. In fact, this particular blog entry has been done entirely by voice command.

Anyway, while tidying up an article on predictions, I used the word futureneering. The voice recognition software recorded it as ‘ future nearing’. Not bad, I thought. That’s sort of what I meant. The only point of visioning or predicting is to make a valid attempt at trying to create the future you’re dreaming of.

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

A Radical Proposal for Executive Pay

Everyone agrees that something must be done about executive pay. One of the major contentious issues emerging out of the financial crisis is the way that senior executives and manager, especially in the financial industries, are remunerated. These days, executive pay often seems to be unrelated to the company’s performance, and in many [...]

The future of money

For years banks and credit card companies have held a strangle hold over the movement of money and charged exorbitant rates for doing so. Now this is changing and fast.

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
