Futurology - a look at the future of technology

Grade 10 students, Anvi and Ashna, have started 'Futurology', a technology blog which explores how cutting edge technology impacts the world today.  We asked them about the process of starting the blog and how they see it moving forward.

Ashna said, "Having always been passionate about STEM and the role of technology in shaping our future, we started 'Futurology' to share the powerful discoveries of today with those around us, in the hope of sharing our astonishment at its remarkable impact.  We feel it is important as technology will transform every aspect of our lives, and one must be future ready to embrace and appreciate it."

The blog explores cutting-edge technology, promising tech startups, and assesses how new science developments will affect the future.  Articles are written by both the co-founders and are aimed at anyone interested in future technology as "you are never too old or young to explore the latest scientific development or technological breakthrough", says Anvi. 

Their inspiration for new ideas comes from watching TED talks, and reading interesting books, research papers and articles based on fresh scientific and technological developments.  After deciding on a topic, the girls conduct research by furthering their reading to gain a deeper understanding and multiple perspectives.  Once they have gained the required knowledge, they try to present the topic in a simple, accessible and intuitive manner. 

Anvi and Ashna hope to see Futurology grow and expand by interviewing STEM professionals about where they see their fields going in the future and also want to broaden the content base beyond essays, to include opinion articles, lists, infographics, and more.
