Future Gazing

The original Blade Runner film, released in 1982 but set in a dystopian 2019, is one of the most influential science fiction films ever made. Well, now we鈥檝e reached 2019, and we鈥檙e a long way off Ridley Scott鈥檚 vision of 聽replicants, flying cars and the off-world colonies. 聽Using that as a starting point, for the first Science Caf茅 of the new series we鈥檙e taking a look at the technology which we could be sharing our lives with in the very near future. And yes, driverless cars are on the itinerary.聽

Joining Adam and sharing some of the new ideas that excite them is a crack team of professional futurists. They are: Rory Cellan Jones, the 大象传媒鈥檚 technology correspondent; Vic Grout, Professor of Computing Futures at Wrexham Glynd诺r University; and last but not least, Simon Robinson, a lecturer at Swansea University鈥檚 Computational Foundry.
