Greetings

Welcome to CTU CS855 Socio-Technical Futuring Blog.  This is week 2 of summer term in a Doctoral of Computer Science program at Colorado Technical University. As part of discussion throughout the term I will be tracking and posting comments about various topics and ideas discussed throughout. I am not  quite sure exactly what direction this will takes us, but I am excited to see how this blog grows and progresses. However, my intent is to make it as interesting as possible by inclusion of graphics, audio and video multimedia content, and links to additional sources. For starters, three books we will be reviewing are:

The Fortune Sellers,
by William A. Sherden

Futuring; The Exploration of the Future,
by Edward Cornish Editor, The Futurinst Magazine

Technology"s Promise; Expert Knowledge on the Transformaion of Business and Society,
by William E. Halal


It looks to be a good term with plenty of topic open for discussion.
