A window into the future of technology – what you need to know

Fellowship events

  • Technology
  • Sustainability
  • Health & wellbeing

Join the Augmented Society Network (ASN) for a view into the world that is coming and see what looks useful, pointless and dangerous, and the signals from the further future that should not be ignored.

While we cannot see the future we can look at the trends, innovations and products major tech companies are bringing to market in 2024. The Consumer Electronics Show is the biggest technology show in the world and is seen as the bellwether for the new technologies we will have in our homes, work and social spaces in the now, near, and distant futures. 

We are reading the signals from CES to reveal the major themes; the ones that we think will have an impact on all our lives. 

These themes are:

  • Connection and connectedness for aging, health and being human. 
  • Energy generation and conservation. 
  • The continued digitization of the real world for entertainment, industrial applications and living better.

We record many of our online events. By attending this online event you accept that you may appear in a RSA video as a participant. Our intention is to use any recording of this event for learning purposes and to document the content of the discussion.
