Summary

Today's Buzz: "By 2030 the average person in the U.S. will have 4.5 packages a week delivered with flying drones. They will travel 40% of the time in a driverless car, use a 3D printer to print hyper-individualized meals, and will spend most of their leisure time on an activity that hasn't been invented yet … Most people will have stopped taking pills in favor of a new device that causes the body to manufacture its own cures. Space colonies, personal privacy, and flying cars will all be hot topics of discussion, but not a reality yet" (Thomas Frey, futuristspeaker.com). Wow!

We'll ask futurists Michael Gale, Frank Diana, Kevin Benedict, and Gray Scott for their take on Life in 2030: How Will YOU Eat, Play, Work, Drive and Do Everything Else?
