Thomas Edison
“By 2000, machines will be
producing so much that
everyone in the U.S. will,
in effect, be independently
wealthy. With government
benefits, even non-working
families will have an annual
income of $30-40,000”!Time Magazine, 1966
There is no reason

Ken Olsen, President

No woman in my time will
be Prime Minister or
Chancellor or Foreign
Secretary—not the top
jobs. Anyway I wouldn't
want to be Prime
Minister. You have to
give yourself 100%.

on her appointment as Shadow
Education Spokesman.)

NEW YORK, Thursday , October 19, 1967
By the year 2000, people will work no more than four days a
week and less than eight hours a day. With legal holidays
and long vacations, this could result in an annual working
period of 147 days worked and 218 days off.

As I've said many times, the

they spark and the decisions they inform.
Scenarios Are Not Predictions…

has yet seen, but to think what nobody has

put a name on uncertainty.
You can’t predict the future.
How you currently think about the
future is dangerous.

Because we have to plan
