Innovation Futures is all about the future of our lives. Offer your viewpoints, your opinions, your ideas. We will debate options for how to deal with energy issues, social issues, political issues, health care issues, technological issues, science issues, international issues, climate change issues, environmental issues...any issue with which we can apply our combined intellects to resolve.

As with all my Futures groups, all relevant posts will be accepted as long as they are written respectfully. The goal is to stimulate debate on important issues facing us all, and to offer an opportunity for all sides to present their case. Ideally, authors will post articles on specific issues (e.g., energy policy, social security, environment, etc).

I will moderate this group solely to keep it focused on innovation and to avoid it becoming a "post it all" group. All viewpoints are welcome and strongly encouraged. [Update - This Group is No Longer Moderated Due to Time Constraints]

Note: As with most Gather groups, I routinely feature articles that I think are particularly interesting or well-written and that epitomize the objectives of the group. It is the policy of this group only to feature articles that allow a free flow of ideas in real time. Since "pre-approval" of comments inherently causes delays - sometimes substantial - in comments appearing to readers, they defeat the purpose of featuring the article in the first place, i.e., stimulating dialogue. Therefore, articles that require comment pre-approval will not be featured. They will, however, be accepted and can still be found in the posts section.
