“It’s all smart kitchens and talking bikes these days.”
I have an article on the future of human rights in the current issue of The Futurist magazine. (Download the article in PDF — courtesy of the World Future Society, www.wfs.org.)
I note that human rights are being transformed by “several powerful, positive trends … centered around changes in values and new technology.” I suggest that these trends will drive three struggles that will shape the evolution of human rights over the next few decades:
- Freedom-enhancing technology versus repressive technology
- The rise of new powers versus the influence of the legacy great powers
- Clashes within societies over values
Please note that these are my own views and do not represent the positions of Foresight Alliance.
