 Let's face it, the future is looking like a pretty messed up place at the moment. Forests are burning, glaciers are melting, seas are rising, infectious diseases are rampaging and the weather's getting weird. To make matters worse, I have a sneaky feeling that we're both smarter and stupider than we've ever been as a species, which isn't a great combination when it comes to inventing powerful, world-changing new technologies. And to be quite frank, the more people there are crammed onto this pale blue dot we inhabit, the more mean and selfish we all seem to be getting, no matter how smart our tech is. From a futures perspective, this does not look good. But what if we could do things differently? What if we could learn to be architects of a better future and develop the skills that are needed to thrive in a world that's like nothing we've ever experienced before? The good news is that we can. And where better to do this than one of the coolest schools in the universe? Okay, so I'm exaggerating a bit at least. I'm talking about Arizona State University, which was awarded the accolade of the number one coolest school in North America 2021, and in particular, our future of innovation in society degree program. So maybe coolest school in the universe is a bit of a stretch, but let me ask you this. Where else in the known universe can you study somewhere that has more badass future-focused faculty than pretty much anywhere else? Has the world's only College of Global Futures is creating a transdisciplinary medical centre for the planet, which is another first, and is quite literally redefining what it means to be an architect of a better future? Of course, you could always go to a more traditional school and learn a bunch of more traditional stuff. But here's the rub. It was that old stuff that got us into this mess we're in in the first place. And to get out of it, we're going to have to rethink not only what we learn, but how we learn. So if you want to be part of making the future a better place for everyone, check us out at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society at ASU, or simply follow the QR code. And think about joining us in the coolest school in the coolest university in the universe.
