Trends and Issues in Extension

Wired news has an interesting article today listing what it considers the top 10 discoveries in 2005. A neat listing of science related stuff. It makes me think even more of geometric in knowledge and its impacts (see this post for more information on the concept of the singularity). Some of the interesting things: more decoding of other animal’s DNA, concern over climate change, and the continued increase in our ability to change our bodies, the food we eat, and our environment.

Jim Carroll provides 10 (really 11) trends in Agriculture. A good, quick read with information that Extension Professionals in agriculture can use.

A new Carnival of Tomorrow (no. 16) has been posted here. Mostly science related, but still a good overview of futurist related trends.
