Il futuro secondo gli anime

Multimedia   21.06.15  

I futuri dell'umanità immaginati negli anime di fantascienza in una raccolta minima di Hopes&Fear.

From robot pocket cat children's shows to battling it out on Mars with the Judeo-Christian god, Japan's authors and artists have looked to the future with awe, hope, nuclear world wars, horrible space aliens, and giant, highly destructive mecha (that also make for very marketable toys). It's often bleak, terrifying or just strange, but it's always awesome. Here's a timeline of what humanity has to look forward to, if the anime-masters are correct.

Studiosi del futuro

Res publica   16.12.14  

La consapevolezza che il futuro si possa immaginare, ipotizzando rivoluzioni scientifiche e culturali nel mondo di domani sulla base dei progressi attuali, è un concetto abbastanza recente che si è fatto strada nell'opinione pubblica a partire dal XIX secolo.

Before the beginning of the 19th century, the future was only rarely portrayed as a very different place from the present. The social order, like the natural order, was supposed to be static, with everything in its proper place: as it had been, so it would be. When Sir Isaac Newton thought about the future, he worried about the exact date of Armageddon, not about how his science might change the world. Even Enlightenment revolutionaries usually argued that what they were doing was restoring the proper order of things, not creating a new world order.

It was only around the beginning of the 1800s, as new attitudes towards progress, shaped by the relationship between technology and society, started coming together, that people started thinking about the future as a different place, or an undiscovered country – an idea that seems so familiar to us now that we often forget how peculiar it actually is.

Mentre RIM - la società canadese produttrice dei BlackBerry - immagina un futuro già visto, dal design imbarazzante e dall'usabilità discutibile, io il futuro me lo porto in tasca tutti i giorni e ha una mela morsicata sul dorso.
