In this hour, TED speakers make bold predictions about our future and what our future lives might look like.
"I do spend time trying to think about what I cannot imagine." -- Nicholas Negroponte
Visions of the future don't just have to come from science fiction. There's very real technology today giving us clues about how our future lives might be transformed. So what might our future look like? And what does it take for an idea about the future to become a reality? In this hour, TED speakers make some bold predictions and explain how we might live in the future.
