Summary of lesson
In this lesson you will learn about how a different point of view influences the outlook on the future: We will take you to the year 1900 and show you how artists back then visualised the year 2000. You might be surprised how it may not be so far away from today’s present. To give you a better understanding of what a personal, organizational and global view on the future is, we will introduce to you to Pia, a software developer, the company she works for, and the world she lives in. In the end you will receive some basic analytical tool you can use to work with the various points of views. They may aid in understanding and applying the concept of futures in your professional life.
