Interview with Michel Dumais on “Citoyen Numerique”

Sunday, 04 April 2010 15:16 Last Updated on Sunday, 04 April 2010 15:21 Written by Eric Garland 0 Comments

I am very excited to have discovered a new group of future-focused intellects in Quebec. I was recently invited by Michel Dumais, a venerable media figure in Montreal who deals with technological trends from a social perspective, eschewing gadgetry in favor of a wise, humanistic view of where the world is going. We’re going to have many more dialogues where this one came from.

The following excerpt is from our discussion this past week in which I explain the basics of “la prospective” how it’s used in organizations, and how it differs from classical, 20th century, technophilic futurism.

Have a listen, though I warn you in advance that this is the genuine article, 200 proof Canadian French accents, right from my homeland of northern Vermont and southern Quebec.

Enjoy.
