Sylvia Gallusser
I was lucky to cross Victor's way and fresh perspective as part of our respective Futures explorations. Victor’s Future and its various platforms (Futurists of the World, Using Foresight, The Multiverse Conversation...) are my favorite places to elevate the Futures/Foresight field with concrete applications. Foresight is multidisciplinary, and all talents are welcome - entrepreneurs, scientists, activists, business leaders, educators, journalists, artists, storytellers, designers, architects, therapists, strategists, students… Victor has his very unique way of bringing such a variety of inspiring futures thinkers from all over the world to debate the future, envision it together, and ultimately build it!

Sep 2017 - Apr 2018
Fall of 2017 - The Future of the Automobile In a time where autonomous vehicles are becoming a hot topic, this small group of 3 undergraduates (myself included), 2 graduate students, and two professors got together to discuss what each of us wanted to produce to present to the SFIS Jamboree. I went down the road of researching 46 video productions that the companies have created, and determined the top six factors that are shown in most of the videos that I have found. Spring of 2018 - Technology for the Developing World: Successes and Failures We are "investigating online existing data and reports on successful and failed technology for development projects, and categorizing and organizing the information in a useful way for future researchers, development practitioners, and courses in international development" (https://sfis.asu.edu/student-life/opportunities). Within this project, I am focusing on emerging technologies that are promised to provide universal internet access across the globe. Show less
