How can a movement be sustained without a leader? How can values come forth and people recede into the background? How does an international movement form around common values and interests? And finally what is the difference between being concerned and doing something about it?
These are some of the questions we discuss in this episode with Nick, one of the members of Toronto branch of The Humanist Movement. Learn more about the Humanist Movement here.

In this 20 minute episode Peter Hong talks about nescesary illusions and the convenience and undrestanding that comes with them. As an experienced User Experience Designer he shares many insights on the relationship of the physical experiences with a designed experience. Peter talks about the essence of an experience as the real and meaningful part of any interaction, the essence that can remain effective even when represented in a medium limited to two dimentions.
This episode we talk about plans for expansion and visions for the future. Each space see itself slightly differently, but mostly the future is yet to be defined.

This podcasting thing is hard. It seems in order to do a new episode I have to do a blog post for each. I’ve been uploading them over the last weeks, but here they are all at once. Let’s hope this works!

In the second episode of The Future Podcast we continue the conversation with Richard Hunt.
Following our discussion on work and technology, this time we talk about virtual and fragmented identities in the digital age. As an inevitable outcome of connectivity and mobility, linguistic and national identities are morphing and expanding; claiming new territories. Rapid changes in language means emergence of new classes and communities that no longer correspond to geographical and financial classifications. Are we going to witness emergence of new specialist languages? Will we interact with more with the local community or are we already in the process of redefining what a local community is? Listen to the 40 minute podcast for some theories.
