(A.S.I.). “To predict the future would be to tell you what will happen. Forecasting, as a futurist, would be to tell you what could happen. It’s a study of what’s possible.” Joseph thinks Honeywell’s contest idea in wonderful. “It gives students a chance to study the future and that’s important because the future is where we are going to live,” he said. “By studying it, students will gain an idea of what to prepare for and the types of careers to pursue.” Honeywell’s third annual Futurist Awards Competition was launched in early October. The Futurist Awards contest asks students to look 25 years into the future and write three essays of up to 500 words each.

Int he third essay, entrants are asked to write about the social impact if technological progress. Joseph advised students, “Read and read some more. Interview some experts and ex trapolate recent past trends.” Joseph’s forecasts for the year 2009 in clude: widespread use of artificial in telligence, mining and manufactoring in space, beginning stages of designing a super human race using bio-engineering techniques, vacations in space hotels and a life expectancy of S50 years. Honeywell’s contest is open to all full-time undergraduate and graduated students at any accredited college in the United states.
