STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Editor's note: Gerd Leonhard is a futurist, speaker and CEO of TheFuturesAgency, based in Basel, Switzerland. He is also the host and creator of The Future Show, which you can watch here. Follow Gerd on Twitter. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Gerd Leonhard.
Basel (CNN) -- Imagine a world where computing becomes invisible, like your thoughts. A world where the interface between our senses, our minds and brains, and a digital device that emulates human traits or which augments our own capabilities becomes seamless, and the border between "it" and "us" becomes opaque.
Imagine instant access to the world's data and content, without typing or without even searching -- think GoogleNow x100, projected onto your iris. The power of IBM's Watson at the disposal of every doctor, with a blink of an eye or a simple voice command. Anticipatory services that know what you need before you do. Constant reads of my body's status via my wristwatch.
Convenient. Incredible. Empowering. Beautiful. Addictive. Indispensable. Scary. Here soon.
Vast progress and vast curses
"Nothing vast enters the lives of mortals without a curse" Greek tragedian Sophocles once said. And plenty of curses are sure to emerge when it's about wearables, which are powered by big data, the cloud, artificial intelligence, not to forget good old-fashioned capitalism.
It is the danger of exponential unintended consequences we must start to consider, because we probably don't have the choice to "just say no" -- wearable computing is as certain as mobile phones.
In his 1964 book "Understanding Media," Marshall McLuhan famously called media "the extensions of man." If we can define wearables as "media" then, following mobile devices, wearables are the next logical step in this rapid evolution.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) April 29, 2014
The power of knowledge fuels smart, strategic decision-making and direction. What better way to address intelligent decision making than to engage a futurist like Jack Uldrich who makes a living looking at emerging technological trends and blending it with strategic planning? Bestselling author and global futurist Jack Uldrich has been selected to share his knowledge on "future-proofing" with members of the Farm Credit Corporation Services (FCC Services) at their 2014 conference in Washington D.C. on April 29th.
The 2014 FCC Services Executive Leadership Series is dedicated to exploring the power and consequences of knowledge and its positive effect on inspirational leadership. This year futurist Jack Uldrich will help them hone in on how they can most effectively utilize their current knowledge, and develop new practices surrounding emerging technology to fuel innovative actions and empowering decisions.
During the 2014 Executive Leadership Series, The Power of Knowledge and Influence Conference will examine key influencers on businesses and industry, explore ways to translate influencers and ideas into strategy and action, and transform inspirational leaders with the power of awareness, to influence and shape change.
Jack Uldrich is a highly sought after keynote speaker, and bestselling author, who focuses on emerging trends in a number of areas such as economics, agriculture, healthcare, finance, energy, the environment, Internet and communications. Uldrich goes beyond simple trend analysis and offers his audiences, like FCC Services, practical tools for leveraging rapid technology-driven change, that give them upper hand while forging ahead into the future.
Drawing on content from his upcoming book: "Business as Unusual: How to Future-Proof Your Business Against Tomorrow's Trends, Today," Uldrich will share insights on the Internet of things, Big Data, and the Big AHA with FCC Services audience members. For more on Uldrich's thoughts on the Big AHA, read his latest article here.
Some highlights of the discussion will include how members of FCC Services can learn to embrace ambiguity;" why finding a reverse mentor could be crucial; and why taking small risks may very well be the safest thing they can do to position themselves for success in the years to come.
With and engaging style and plethora of stories that make his ideas relevant, Uldrich offers a variety of informational resources for those interested in exploring the future. Daily visits are made to his Jump the Curve blog page for a variety of thought provoking articles on emerging ideas, trends, and cutting edge technologies.
In the past year, Jack Uldrich, who is also recognized as a leading expert in the field of change management and unlearning, has addressed dozens of agricultural corporations and associations, including Novozymes, Land O' Lakes, Ag Spectrum, MosaicAg, Case IH, The Christian Farmers Federation, The Iowa Institute for Cooperatives, The Agricultural Adaptation Council of Ontario, AgGateway, the California Ag Summit, along with several other clients in a variety of industries, like the AMA, Fiatech, United Healthcare, Cisco, IBM, and Verizon Wireless.
Parties interested in learning more about him, his books, his daily blog or his speaking availability are encouraged to visit his website. Media wishing to know more about either the event or interviewing Jack as a futurist or trend expert can contact Amy Tomczyk at (651) 343.0660.

Editor's Note:'Trep Talk takes you inside the millionaire minds of the most intriguing entrepreneurs behind the big ideas. Join Entrepreneur for a more personal look at the creators of some the most successful companies today.
Computers are getting infinitesimally small. By the time we get to the year 2020, the size of the computational chip that drives our smartphones, our tech gadgets and our computers will approach zero, says Brian David Johnson, the resident futurist at Intel.
And as that happens, we will be able to put computer chips into our Band-Aids, allowing us to monitor the health of a sick child from a distance. The power of computation will surround us, becoming part of the walls, tunnels, and bridges of the cities we live in, Johnson told Entrepreneur.com at The Feast social innovation conference in New York City this past fall.
As our ability to control aspects of our lives through technology increases, so does our ability to do harm. That's the challenge. The greatest danger is not being present and not understanding that we imbue our technology with our sense of humanity, Johnson says. We have to be responsible.
Watch this video to hear more from Johnson on his views of the future as human beings continue to dance into the ever-after with their own technological manifestations.

I CANT wait to be a transhumanist designer when I grow up, said no child, ever.
That might not be the case for long if futurist Morris Miselowski is right. He predicts the job could become as common as a teacher or builder in the years ahead.
The renowned futurist, who has spoken at TEDx, thinks the workforce will change drastically in the next 35 years, with 60 per cent of us doing jobs that dont exist.
More: Five jobs that will disappear within five years
Most will arise from technology and the human body, dedicated to improving our health and extending human life, according to Mr Miselowski.
In the last 150 years we have doubled our life expectancy in Australia, weve done that without the technology that [is now in place] he told news.com.au.
