WIRED's Course Catalog For 2073 Helps You Imagine The Future
What would students learn in college 50 years from now? This fascinating exploration from WIRED of potential future college courses in 2073 offers some powerful thoughts packaged in short observational course titles.
Millennial Gerontology, for example, will examine how to deal with Millennials who are now in their twilight years, including a focus on the devastatingly realistic concept of "end-of-life student loan debt counseling." Other courses include the nature of our "beef-driven society," The Literature of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and The Biology of Animal Rights, where "students will clone a sheep, then apologize to it."
The full list of courses is entertaining and will awaken your imagination for the future ... as great science fiction should.
