Thomas Frey is a the founder of the DaVinci Institute, and his job is to think about the future. How cool is that? Here are just a few of the many things we touched on in the interview:
- The Oculus Rift virtual reality platform. (I have one but have barely had time to use it. However, based on my limited experience I think it’s going to be HUGE! We’re talking Xbox.)
- Stanford’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab
- Thomas predicts that by 2030 half of all colleges will fail.
- Do you have a bold new theory, or are you just a crackpot? Take the Crackpot Index test and find out.
The show opened with Kraftwerk’s It’s More Fun to Compute. Check out this great New Yorker article about their influence.
