The optimistic futurist says we'll share more, own less and spend far more time on our devices

smithsonian.com

The title of your book is The Inevitable. What does that mean, and why did you choose it?
Kevin Kelly's title at Wired magazine is "senior maverick." While he co-founded the publication in 1993, he has been thinking about the future in an outside-the-box way his whole career. A former editor of the countercultural technology magazine Whole Earth Review, Kelly has championed the Quantified Self movement whereby humans use technology to track their daily lives, co-sponsored the first Hackers Conference back in the mid-1980s and been involved in The Long Now Foundation, a project to look at our long-range future as humans. He's also written several books, including the bestselling What Technology Wants, which looks at technology as its own biological system.

In his new book, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future, Kelly sorts what he sees as the biggest coming trends into 12 categories-things like "screening" (turning more surfaces into screens) and "tracking" (using surveillance technologies more and more). We talked with Kelly about his predictions for the world to come, and how we can help shape technology for the better.
You talk about "sharing" in your book, and say we will share much more information in the future than we do now. What are some examples?
It's sort of slightly controversial because many people don't believe that anything is inevitable. I use the term to indicate that there's a general drift or leaning in technology such that the large forms are headed in a certain direction and we should embrace it. I like to think of it as gravity in a valley. Raindrops are falling in a valley. The drop of water as it flows down the valley is not predictable in its specifics, but the general direction is downward.

My take is that the specific aspects [of technologies] are not predictable, but the general direction is inevitable. I want people to embrace the general direction while deciding and choosing the specifics. The specifics matter to us a lot. And we have a lot of choice about that. Telephones were inevitable, but the iPhone was not. The internet was inevitable, but Twitter was not. It's only by embracing the large scale trend that we can steer the general direction.
You also write how the future will be about "accessing" instead of owning. Can you talk more about this?
There's a small movement, but I think it needs to be much bigger, which is about sharing our medical and health information. There's so much to be gained for the benefit of us all by sharing what our bodies do and how we react and adjust to each day, any kind of perturbations during that day, anything we're taking in terms of medications or medical interventions. If we can share all of that, that's immensely powerful in terms of making better medications, making better knowledge about who we are and tailoring that to use specifically so we personally could benefit.

One thing I've long been an advocate of was the idea of the "quantified self," where the sensors that can monitor things in our bodies become smaller and cheaper and easier to use, so we kind of wear them in clothes or where we sit, maybe we wear them on our wrists or different parts of our bodies, and they're collecting information noninvasively. [In the future] we're getting this info all the time, and then we can share it in different manners, whether it's with our name on it, or anonymized, randomized or with encryption. That information is going into the cloud, and it's being combined using artificial intelligence to extract out some meaning.
Are there any examples of other countries being ahead of the United States in terms of specific uses of technology?
The general drift is that we as a society are moving away from owning things to accessing things. Access means that we can get the thing or the experience or the service any time we want from anywhere in the world. If you can kind of reach for something and get it, then that's in many ways better than owning it and having to find it, take care of it, maintain it and upgrade it.

This movement was first evident in the digital realm. Most people aren't really buying movies anymore in terms of owning them. You just buy a subscription to them that you have access to with Netflix or Amazon Prime or Hulu. Getting that movie any time you wanted was much better than having to purchase it on VHS, store it and upgrade it. And so now we're seeing that same kind of shift away from ownership for even things like cars. The most visible thing was Uber. If you could summon a car any time, wherever you were, and it would appear within minutes and take you wherever you needed to go and then disappear, in many ways that's a better arrangement than having to own a car, fix it and park it. Maybe in the future the Ubers will be self-driven, so we won't even have to drive them.
How will becoming "People of the Screen" change our culture?
China is in many ways leading the charge in living on your phone. We look around and think, "Oh my gosh, these young millennials are just living on their phones." Well, the millennials in China are two steps ahead of us. Some of their platforms, like WeChat, are Facebook plus Twitter plus PayPal plus Snapchat. They've got all the things wrapped into one, and the young there are completely living online. They order everything from their daily meals to rides, and organize events and their social lives to an extent we don't see in the West. One of the innovations is they are very heavy users of voicemail. This is old school voicemail, but they use it and instant message with voice instead of pictures or text. This works really well and they're now doing more and more video clips as a means of communication. So they're ahead in the adoption of that aspect of social interaction.
You consider yourself optimistic about the future. Why are so many portrayals of the future in movies and literature so dystopian?
[America will make the same shift] maybe within three years. We're seeing that shift already, moving to pictures and emoticons instead of text. More and more or our lives are moving from text-based communication to visual-based communication. We're moving from being "People of the Book" to "People of the Screen." In the screen, the center of culture is no longer text but visuals, moving images that we flicker across the screen.

There are a lot of other cultural changes that come about when you depend on flickering images instead of text. Books were fixed and didn't change once written. Books had authors, which is the same root as "authority." On the screen everything is ephemeral and flowing and unfinished, incomplete, relativistic, subjective. It's moving very fast, and we have to sort of assemble it ourselves.
Fifty years ago, our culture seemed more optimistic about the future, at least in terms of pop culture-all the techno-utopian sci-fi and TV shows from the 1950s and 1960s, for example. What changed to make us more negative?
Conflict, disaster, things unraveling are much more cinematic and make a better story than things working smoothly, which is basically boring. It makes a much better story if things collapse, and there's nothing as mesmerizing as watching something blow up or smashing glass. There's a bias that we're hard-wired to want to tell a story in which things get worse, and that makes it really hard for us as a society to go forward because we don't have as clear a vision of how the future might be friendly to us.
You write about the impulse to shy away from new technologies out of fear, and why that instinct is harmful. So how can we as a society react better to the coming technologies of the future?
We live in an America with a very pessimistic view of the future that's really unwarranted by the evidence. The evidence is very clear that progress is real and things are much better today than they were 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 200 years ago. If we were honest about that, we'd have to admit that things are getting better. And that because of history, we are most likely to continue making things better year after year. The things that are coming-artificial intelligence, virtual reality-we can imagine how things might go wrong, but it's much more likely that things will go well.

We came to understand that every single technology will bite back. There's a cost for every innovation. Every single new technology that's been invented to solve a problem will invent almost as many new problems as it solves. Now we know. We're pretty clear on that. It doesn't matter how angelic the technology seems, it's going to have major costs. And those major costs will have to be accounted for. I'm not a utopian. I don't believe we're going to have less problems in the future. We're going to have more problems. But I'm a techno-solutionist. I'm a Silicon Valley guy. I believe that the solutions to those new problems are additional technologies.

Some of the things that are coming are very scary. Artificial intelligence can look scary because it will certainly disrupt many of the jobs we can have. Virtual reality can be very scary, and total tracking can be very scary. There's often an initial impulse to try to prohibit things like AI. Just recently, there was the first fatal crash in an automatically driven car. There'll be calls for people to outlaw AI from driving cars because one person has died, forgetting the fact that as humans we kill a million people a year in autos. There will be reactions to downgrade, block and in some way turn back some of these technologies. I'm suggesting that, first of all, that doesn't work, but that it's only by engaging these technologies that we can steer them. It's only by embracing them that we can decide the specifics and have control over it.

So while the internet was inevitable, the kind of internet we're going to get is not at all. Will it be open or closed, neutral or not? These are decisions we have a lot of room to make, and we must make, and [they] will make a huge difference. But we can only make these changes by using this technology, not prohibiting it.

Video Transcript

Case Western Reserve University

Intentional Change Theory and decades of longitudinal research showing how it creates sustained, desired change is introduced. Learners examine who and how people have helped them grow in the past and link it to future possibilities. We explore the Positive and Negative Emotional Attractors (PEA and NEA), which are states that enable change, and help us become open to it. We need the NEA to survive and the PEA to strive and flourish.

Distinguished University Professor, and a Professor in the Departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology, and Cognitive Science

Welcome back. In the last module we talked about who

helped you the most, who brought out some sustained changes and aspirations in you,

often from an early age. And we began to talk about the model that

helps us understand sustained desire change for individuals and couples.

Die hards and teams, and organizations and communities and even countries.

In, in this module, I want to focus in on the content of what was happening to you

while you were remembering the people who helped you the most.

While you were remembering those moments and very often, if you had an opportunity

to share some of those stories with someone else.

What do they start to catch in terms of the emotional contagion from you as you

recall these moments? What we started to look at a few years

ago, in trying to use more notions from complexity theory.

Is that, it seems that the process of change, as I mentioned in the last

module, is not a continuous one. And that happens around these tipping

points around these moments of emergence. Well, what moves us ahead in the

intentional change process, our tipping points that move us into what I've called

the positive emotional attractor, the PEA.

The positive emotional attractor is a state that is really almost the opposite

of the negative emotional attractor. Now let's look at what you probably

talked about in these moments. We've done this for 10 years, and we've

done research studies where we don't spend a few minutes on this exercise that

will help you the most. But we spent hours and interview people

and what we often find is that it's very likely that when you talked about the

person who brought out. who helped you the most, you remembered a

moment with your mother or your father, or a grandmother, or grandfather.

In which they, brought up an idea that was a possibility.

And all of a sudden you went, wow, I hadn't thought of that, wow!

Could be an aunt, or an uncle, could have been a friend.

If it's later in life it could be a teacher, an early a manager, a spouse or

partner. But the fact is that a person opens up a

possibility and in that moment, you go, wow!

Now sometimes it's not through something they say, but in fact it's through their

embodiment. Your, mother's kind of working and has

some problems with her back, and you could see she's grimacing.

And a neighbor comes by and says, Sophia I need your help, and you watch her kind

of grimace and straighten up and she smiles and says, sure let's go.

And you say, oh my God, that's what it means to be a good person.

I want to be like that when I grow up, so it could be through role modeling.

I would predict from the research projects we've been doing here, at Case

Western Reserve University. That 80 to 100% of the stories people

remembered had to do with somebody who invoked this part of your aspiration or

ideal self, or a personal vision. Or somebody who believed in you and

trusted you and have confidence in you. Very often it's again, a parent or a

grandparent, teacher or coach, sometimes an early manager.

Who gives you an opportunity and asks you to do something that you feel is over

your head. But, and you go into it not sure you can

handle it but they believe in you. They're endorsing your strengths.

This combination of invoking a possible part of your vision and your strengths,

is what we call activating or arousing the Positive Emotional Attractor.

Now why is this so important? If I'd asked you a different question,

which we didn't, and we do in the multi-day workshops we offer about this.

One of the things that happens is if we ask, well, who tried to help you in the

last two years? Name anybody who did talk about these key

moments, whether it's a manager doing a performance appraisal.

Or a development review, or a teacher or a therapist or a, a clerk.

People come back to us and say, well, and 67% of the times, they gave me data on

how I'm doing and then said, okay, now let's work on your weaknesses.

Let's try to fix you. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why so few

people change as a result of our efforts to help them grow and develop.

This is why, because most of the time, instead of engaging people's natural

powers of curiosity and imagination and inspiring them.

We actually diminish them, and we impose our will, and we try to engineer or fix

them. The difference between the positive

emotional attractor, this state, and the negative emotional attractor.

Is the difference in being in the parasympathetic nervous system which I

discussed in an earlier module or the sympathetic nervous system.

It's thinking about positive affect versus negative.

It's thinking about your dreams versus reality.

It's thinking about possibilities versus problem.

Hope versus fear, it's being, feeling like an optimist versus a pessimist.

I love this, optimists say their estimists optimists, what do pessimists

call themselves? Realists.

Very often, the difference between the positive and the negative emotional

attractor. Is the difference between engaging

something that you're drawn to and you would love to do versus doing something

that you should do. Something that you're expected to do.

If it's something that you'd like to try, you're excited about it, you can't wait

to get to it in the positive attractor. In the negative emotional attractor it's

something that you have an obligation to do.

This is very often the difference between a resonant and distant relationships.

The key is that we need both, as an organism we can't do very well without

having both the positive and negative emotional attractor.

As we will talk about in a later module, we need the negative emotional attractor,

we need a certain amount of activation of stress to help us survive.

But we need the positive emotional attractor to help us thrive.

To help us grow, to help us blossom into new possibilities, to help us change.

6:36

Now, I would offer two important learning points about the experiences that you

remembered in the exercises in the last module.

First, that almost all sustained desired change that you went through starts in

the positive emotional attractor. Why?

Because if it starts in the negative attractor, it's a bummer.

You start to feel lousy, you know, you're closing down, you're going into that

protective mode. You're limiting your vision and all of

the things we talked about, because we said, when you're in that sympathetic

nervous system. You're under conditions of cognitive, and

perceptual, and emotional impairment. In a positive emotional attractor is when

you open up to possibilities, if you start in the negative, you go into

defense. You hunker down, you protect an organism

but in the process you block out new possibilities.

The second learning point is that we very often go into the positive emotional

attractor and spend time in it. And it's an emotional attractor that I

would contend is a Lorenz strange attractor, not a limit point sect, cycle

attractor technically in complexity theory.

So, it's like you're moving around it in this state and then you get opened and

renewed, and you're ready for some stress adaptation.

You go into the negative attractor, now you're going back to the positive

emotional attractor. The problem is, that when you're in the

positive emotional attractor, you, you have to be in it long enough to renew,

and open up. Then you have to go into the negative

emotional attractor. The dilemma is, because bad and negative

emotions are stronger than positive we remember them for a much longer period of

time, we in fact, fuss about them. And there's good kind of ecological

reason why it's good for our bodies and our minds to remember these things

longer. So, one of the things that happens is,

because it's stronger, we need to over sample, we need to overemphasize the

positive emotional attractor, the PEA to the NEA.

8:38

Mercelo/g [UNKNOWN] working with Emily Heefey and Barbara Frederickson have

shown that in effective teams. You need a positive to negative affect

ratio of 3 to 1 for effective teams. Similar to my PEA, NEA, not exact, John

Gottman is a closer model of positive and negative attractors.

And he's found over years, decades of studying effective marriages that in

loving stable marriages there's a 5 to 1 ratio.

That means every time you give your spouse or your partner the look, you hug

them five times that's a sobering statistic.

But the idea is basically that we need to overemphasize the positive to have some

degree of parity or balance. But these are states that we, that we

exist in until we hit a tipping point. And as you can see from the visual, the

tipping point happens when we bring the intensity level down.

It's like if you're having an argument with a spouse or a partner and a

roommate. And they're all of a sudden yelling and

screaming, that's not the time to say to them calm down.

That never seems to help, it's like adding fuel onto the fire.

So, what we have to do is bring the intensity down.

Bring the state closer to the zero point to create the tipping point.

In the next module, we'll talk about how to use the movement between the positive

and negative emotional attractor, more effectively, both at work, at home, and

WHY AM I working in the field of  CULTURE, why am I at Andros? 

# data[].attributes.body
To open my mind, to empower the organisation where I currently work with the tools for communicating the contents we produce. I am also here because our organisation lacks strategy in communication with the audience and with the participants in the events.

I am also here, because I believe that every new connection, every new collective is precious in a personal and professional way, it is enriching for me and afterwards also for the organisation where I work.

I work in the field of cultural management now and I deal with culture and the arts, because I believe in the importance of the experience that the arts and culture can bring.
It can bring awareness for social changes, for climate changes etc. It has to exist so we maybe won't dissapear in the dust!

I love to be surrounded by creative people. They push you towards thinking outside the box. Rules don't really apply to creativity, nor can it ever be fully regulated. In the picture there is a squat in Athens. It is an open theatre, circus, concert hall and dancestage. People claimed this empty space, and filled it with culture. This is my philosophy as a cultural worker. Find empty spaces, see opportunities and fill it with something meaningful for people to enjoy!
