health insurance The History Of the Future

Visions of a technology-driven future fueled the imagination of 20th century America. While some predictions, such as driverless cars, have become a reality, innovations like cities on the moon remain out of reach.

Regardless of their accuracy, past visions of the future provide us invaluable insight about the hopes, values, and anxieties of their creators, and about the times and places from which they sprung. What can kitschy visions of robotic kitchens tell us about how we envisioned a post-World War II domestic life? How did film and television influence our understanding of emerging technologies?

Join Future Tense to explore yesterday's visions of today, and their lessons for tomorrow.

Lunch will be served.

Future Tense is a partnership of Slate, New America, and Arizona State University.

This event will be livestreamed on this page. Follow the conversation online with #HistoryOfTheFuture and @FutureTenseNow.
