Each week Nikolas Badminton, Futurist Speaker, summarizes the top-5 future looking developments and news items that I find to be inspiring, interesting, concerning, or downright strange. Each day he reads through dozens of blogs and news websites to find those things that we should be aware of.
In Future Trends: The Open Web and Shitty A.I. Movies we look at the trends that we should be aware of today, June 10th, 2016. The open web, artificial hearts, AR nail art, Project Tango, and a terrible sci-fi movie written by A.I.
