Les W. Kuzyk

Chapter 8 in Creating a Sustainable and Desirable Future:Insights from 45 Global Thought Leaders, 2014, pp 65-71 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: She double-checks the name of the essay final exam — Global Environmental History 302 — complete with her student ID number and the date, 23 May 2052. Deciding to use voice and gesture interface for input and edit, she is ready. She thinks OK, Jiera, just keep it organized. You studied for hours and you need to keep up those honors grades. Think chronologically and prioritize events by importance. The last half-century involved a series of crises and sometimes chaotic attempts at resolution, accompanied now and then by the influence of previously initiated trends and general circumstance. She watches the time on the screen switch to 11:00 hours and she takes a deep breath. The entry screen changes color and the exam voice invites her to begin.
