Selling Tomorrows: IEEE asks, "Can it be done?"

David Rosen | Hi there! I'm a Senior Vice President of Digital Corporate & Public Affairs at Edelman. (Opinions expressed are my own and don't necessarily represent those of my employer.)

This Blog | "The Future" isn't just a point in time. It's also an idea that influences our culture. This blog explores how we think about "tomorrow" and how as a meme it has evolved over millennia. Topics include the future as an archetype, utopian and dystopian literature, the psychology of time, the futurism profession, science fiction as modern mythology, and anything else that helps us understand how we think about what's next.

IEEE asks, "Can it be done?"

Check out this promotional video from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It starts out with predictions about techology that turned out to be wrong and concludes by asking question: "Can it be done?" ("It" being anything you can imagine.) Their answer won't surprise you, but the journey to it makes you savor it more.

If you're a member of IEEE, it would be great to hear your story below about what inspired you to do into the field.
