Daily Inspiration: “At this very moment, someone somewhere is busy inventing something that will be so common in but 10 short years that you simply won’t know how you lived without it!”

“At this very moment, someone somewhere is busy inventing something that will be so common in but 10 short years that you simply won’t know how you lived without it!” – Futurist Jim Carroll

Need to get inspired for the future? Head on over to my post, ‘101 Things We Know About Our Future’ – An Esoteric List of Things That Are Happening Now and Next! – it’s right here. As I note in that post:

My mind all too often races with ideas; I think too much. The busy activities in my head lead me to regularly scribble down lots of thoughts about the world around me. Overall, as a futurist, it’s a remarkable time to be alive – and with that in mind, here’s a list that I’ve accumulated as to ‘101 things we know about our future.’

It’s a long list of things I’ve jotted down over time. My thinking? Here’s a grab bag of some of my thoughts, of which today’s quote was one.

• Machines are starting to think on their own a bit more. We don’t yet know what this means.
• Right now, someone has the perfect idea in mind to put your business model into a death spiral – and you might not notice till it is too late
• There is someone in a garage at this very moment with a really great idea that will become a billion-dollar company
• Half of the knowledge we get in the first year of university or college is obsolete, or out of date, by the time we graduate
• Much of what you know today is already obsolete – you just don’t know it yet
• The TV show the Jetsons will soon seem like it too is from the olden days
• The concept of ‘just-in-time learning’ will come to dominate most of our education system in the years to come
• Every single device that you use day today will be a featured piece in a museum in less than 25 years
• and, fifty years out, people will still write lists of ‘101 things’ because it provides a nice structure for creative thinking

This is THE mindset you need to be in as you prepare for your faster future!
