A Chinese proverb goes something like this …
may he live in interesting times … we live in interesting times, times of
optimism, danger, and uncertainty. There are major cultural, scientific and
political developments that during the next decade will significantly alter
the world of business, logistics, and individual lives. The presentation
includes a fun, futuristic look at topics such as NASA's manned moon
colonization, the rise of nanotechnology, and life extension breakthroughs.
It also addresses the more mundane topics of the logistics implications of
global warming regulations and advances in material handling technology. The
material handling technology focus in this presentation starts with the
current state-of-the-art and progresses to identify automation trends to
watch for.
