Fish populations change as ocean waters warm
Marine ecosystems are changing as ocean temperatures rise according to Global Change Biology. Remember, when thinking about the future, it’s not what happens, but what happens because of what happens. One example of “what happens because of what happens” is the overfishing of marlin and shark off of the California coast. That is what happened. What […]

I’ve been following Brain Scientist, David Eagleman, since I heard him lecture at the PopTech conference about 3 years ago. I’ve pasted below two presentations.

Reflections on Easter — Where is the other guy?
This is so important as we approach Easter Sunday– the one Sunday a year in which we remember the reason we gather all those other Sundays. We don’t gather because Jesus’ spirit goes on.

Two Major Shifts: Dematerialization and On-demand
Last year I led a session on the Future of Education for the Orlando extension of Asbury Seminary. We discussed two major cultural/technological shifts- Dematerialization and On-Demand- and their implications for education over the next few decades.
