What will the cities of the future look like? Flying drones everywhere? Tunnels underground? A dome over every city?

Will the cities of 2050 be filled with green plants and open spaces? Or will they be made of tightly packed cubicles?

Will the streets be full of rubbish, or will bots clean it all up? Will there still be cars on the streets? Or will we see moving walkways everywhere? Will there be buildings 1000 floors high, or perhaps 1000 floors deep? And vertical gardens and farms?

Would you like to live in any of these possible future cities? Please join us in GeekSpeak on Saturday at noon SLT to talk about your future, if you are city dwellers.

IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.

GeekSpeak – Future of Law Enforcement

Thursday, February 16, 2017 Criminals, Danmu, Drones, Future of Law Enforcement, Geekspeak, Police Methods, Share your views No comments

Where are police methods heading? Should we be worried? Already they can use microwaves, high-pitched and potentially dangerous sound and lasers to control crowds. What will happen when they produce drones to spy on us and attack us? Drones which may be disguised as birds. When you go for a country walk will the raptors you see be after mice or after you? Will the robins and sparrows outside your window be there for the food or are they police drones that are watching you?

Maybe when criminals use drones the police will attack with their own drones? Or will they use animals to attack drones? In Holland the police are already using eagles to destroy drones. There are plenty of stories of dolphins that have been trained to kill. Will future human wars be fought entirely by dolphins, eagles and robot drones?

Does all this scare you? Or make you angry? Or do you think it is all a good idea? Come and share your views on future policing. Watch out for raptors!
