¿Qué es el futuro?
• ¡El futuro ya no es lo que era antes!
• Lo que hoy se vive no es el acabose, sino apenas el continuose de lo que empezose ya mucho ha.

Sir Arthur C. Clarke with Jose Cordeiro
The Three Laws of Sir Arthur C. Clarke
• First Law: When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
• Second Law: The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
• Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Technologies of the “past”
• 30 years agoPersonal computers
• 20 years agoCell phones
• 10 years agoGoogle
• What will happen in 10 years? In 20 years? In 30 years?Immortal (ageless) cells!
