After developing our scenarios, we realised
that most of our insights leant
towards darker, more dystopian ideas
of the future. Although this was not necessarily
a bad thing, we were also keen
to think about the positive implications
of future technologies. In doing so, we
looked back at the consequences and
scenarios we had created, and discussed
in our group what was similar between
them. One of our main insights from
doing this activity was that all the scenarios
relied on the idea that technological
infrastructures in the future will be
hugely complex. In order for these infrastructures
to work, a huge amount of
responsibly will be handed over to large
corporations. This will inevitably lead to
a number of ethical questions surrounding
data and trust, but it will also enable
precision medicine to shift into mainstream
treatment and prevention.
We created a new, high level scenario
about the value of collaboration in order
to progress our idea. This reframing
of our scenarios and ideas was really valuable
for us as a group, in order to align
our thoughts and stay on the same page.
