“One of the biggest differences [between a futurist today and a futurist from the 1980s] is in the amount of information [and] data that has been captured today … compared to what you really had in the ’80s. … It was a lot more speculative in the ’80s.” — Peter Leyden
“I do think we’re in a time that will be remembered for 50, 100 … 500, 1000 years from now and they’re going to say, ‘Wow. What the hell was going on in that early 21st century? What a time to be alive.” — Peter Leyden
“The world that’s going to operate in 30 years is going to be fundamentally different than the one that we came into 30 years ago.” — Peter Leyden
“When things start tipping, and when things start shifting, things can move fast. And I think we’re in that now.” — Peter Leyden
