“Planning for the Future: The Impact of the Information Revolution”
Dr. William A. Seidler
The Boeing Company

ABSTRACT: We are in the midst of a revolution in human endeavor equivalent to the agricultural revolution of 10,000 BC, the knowledge revolution after the 1440 AD invention of the printing press, and the industrial revolution following the 18th century. This revolution has been called the Singularity by researchers and represents the advancements in digital information processing. With the continued improvements of Moore’s Law, the $1000 personal computers of 2020 AD that sit on desks will have the processing throughput of the human brain. By 2060AD, Moore’s Law predicts that the processing throughput of such computers will exceed the processing capability of earth’s human population. The impact of such processing impacts all technologists and their products. Human beings and computers will be interconnected to increase their capabilities. This presentation will start to explore the imagineering of our future and the impacts of these changes on the current job market.
