HOW YOU CAN JOIN IN
How to post. What to post. Ways to think about contributing

If you want, you can choose just to read and learn, which should provide enormous benefit in itself. But posting a comment, question or anecdote in FutureMonitor discussions is easy. However, you must be registered as a member (click the red "Register to be a Member" button on the right side of any page). Then simply click "Add new topic" or "Add reply" when you want to start or respond to something.

There are countless ways to think about what to post. Here are just four of them:

1) Think in terms of raw, unanalyzed “evidence” of change, and post notes about what you've noticed. You can think in terms of looming problems or opportunities, or simply in terms of phenomena that raise questions in your mind. Evidence of all kinds—from all points of view—is exactly what the sensing network needs in order to be effective. It is the fuel.

2) Contribute ideas/questions that are more synthesized. Post your notions of what business will face—even maybe, how business might capitalize on coming changes or solve coming problems. Call on, and draw attention to, whatever information you have that can add to the stew. Then others will have intelligence to respond to and debate (and learn from).

3) Think very specifically about your own business/organization and post notes about its/your experience. What problems and/or opportunities do you think it will be facing soon? In response to the observations posted by others about what they’re seeing/encountering, how might your experience offer new light or potential actions and solutions?

4) Contribute and post in some fourth way that we haven’t even imagined yet (but that you undoubtedly will). There are no rules, except for the obvious ones about how to conduct a civil, useful discussion.

A laser tuned and powered to destroy photosynthesis, thereby effecting chemical free agricultural control of both invasive plants, weeds, germinating invaders, and other pathogenic pests.. this laser device could be attuned to treat living plant surfaces, re insects, fungi etc. rendering cure but no harm to the plants under treatment.
