Carti si reviste recomandate de un mare futurist contemporan

Cand am merJoel-Barkers in Slovenia, la finala concursului de inovatie Challenge:Future, am avut ocazia de a-l cunoaste pe unul dintre cei mai mari futuristi contemporani, Joel Barker.

L-am intrebat de unde isi ia el informatia si cum sta up-to-date cu toate inovatiile din lume

si … cum ajunge cineva futurist?

Eram in ziua aia in al noualea cer :D Chiar daca nu am castigat the Grand Prize la Challenge:Future.

Ca follow-up, dl. Barker ne-a trimis o lista cu carti si reviste “for starting to think like a futurist”:

  2. Woohoo :D Salutare!
    Nice to have you around.
    Hai sa vedem cine se mai baga :D

  3. Count on me! :)

  4. Count on me. Lasa-mi un e-mail daca ai ceva concret in cap si eu ma gandeam sa fac ceva de genul si caut forma si discursul ca sa make it happen.

  5. Ma bucur sa va intalnesc. Eu sunt foarte prins in perioada asta, cel mai probabil pana prin octombrie. Mai aveti prieteni pasionati de domeniu? Ma gandeam ca daca ne strangem mai multi, pot sa va fac legatura + indrumare pentru kickoff the community, urmand sa ma alatur si eu discutiilor pe tema asta de prin oct-nov.

  6. [...] urma discutiei din Slovenia cu Joel Barker imi venise si mie ideea sa pornesc ceva asemanator. Sunt curios cum evolueaza happyspotting :) [...]
