we will have a much bigger problem on our hands. I wonder what criminals and hackers could do with quantum computers :)

How does one land a job as a Futurist?
What education and training is involved?
And why are all the Futurists old folks?
Any reply is awesome, though sort of a direct question to Gizmodo.
Thanks!

If it helps, in comparison, Simon Cowell is considered a futurist in the Music industry. Both he and Mundie have the uncanny ability to predict future popular trends in their respective fields. It's one part natural talent and two parts Rolodex.

He must have just forgotten to write down "web 2.0, search and browser standards", huh?

Both above comments are so un-original and played out that I wonder why Gizmodo doesn't just delete them?
Very interesting article and I'm glad people are looking into future projects/ideas instead of dated jokes.

Microsoft's main problem is that they've spoiled us rotten with years of bloat in the form of legacy code, so that we can keep our old junk and use software that's almost a decade old. If Microsoft were to just say "fuck it" and start shaving the fat on a regular basis, we'd all bitch, but eventually we'd see a lighter, nimbler OS, even if it means that we'd have to eventually upgrade software more frequently. Don't suppose that will be happening anytime soon, since the folks out in the Enterprise are hard-nosed cheapskates, but it's something to consider.
