Welcome to the Future Cloud 2 Marcel Bullinga
Author Bullinga courageously predicts what life will be like in much of the world in the future, starting with 2025. He is very specific and straightforward with his predictions, frequently exploring technology that has already been demonstrated or is on the drawing boards today. Bullinga focuses heavily on technology, interconnectedness, and transparency, all from the point of view of individuals. He also adds a healthy dose of personal responsibility. So he makes predictions about your home, your car, your office, your healthcare and the driving forces of change that are moving all technology forward and making your world more and more user (and family) friendly.The "Future Cloud" that Bullinga envisions is an all-encompassing combination of intelligent technology that is seamlessly interconnected and enhances all aspects of life. He sees driverless cars dominating ground transportation, but does not find flying cars in our foreseeable future. "Too many difficulties with regulation." Hydrogen economy and fuel cells? "I don't think so. Too many ifs and buts." Real energy solutions will be"...expensive now, cheap later".
Everything will be intelligent and a part of the "Future Cloud." Access and control for individuals will be through personal "dashboards." Robots will be everywhere. Most will not look like popular images of robots (although there will be rolling or walking robots), but will exist as the intelligence in products of all kinds. Bullinga includes chapters about the future of money, healthcare, education and work, then explores "Happiness"; happy countries and happy people!
Welcome to the Future Cloud will give you lots of facts, lots of predictions, and many ways to think about the future. If you want to know where our world is headed, Bullinga offers a well considered view.

Welcome to the Future Cloud 2 Marcel Bullinga Reviews
I very much enjoyed reading this book by Marcel Bullinga. The way he describes the influence of new (media) developments in different aspects of society and in our lives is highly inspiring and I already implement his vision in my work daily. I like his pragmatic view on things, it makes his vision easy to understand!
"Welcome to the Future Cloud" is a refreshingly-different kind of future studies book that is presented in an engaging manner and is upbeat throughout. Marcel's key contribution is to take the concept of the "cloud" to the next level -- from a term used to encapsulate online computing infrastructure, to (as he puts it) "a whole new physical-virtual mix world". This concept is backed up with lots of examples of research developments in progress today, as well as many lists of specific predictions.
The book is divided into four key areas (future media; future economy and government; green profit; and future things). Also thrown in as an interval or "intermezzo" are two chapters providing statistics about mobile people and happy countries. What this all means is that it is possible to either read this book end-to-end or -- just as easily -- to dip in-and-out as interest or needs dictate.
Overall, a great book for anybody interested in the future -- which in theory ought to be all of us! -)
If the global community of futurists were an ice cream shop, Marcel Bullinga would be the banana split big, colorful, fun, and a little nutty. The Dutch author and public speaker has a presentation style that is overflowing with strong visual aides, well articulated predictions of the future, and enthusiasm. Welcome to the Future Cloud brings that high energy style to the year 2025 as Bullinga gives a rousing description of the technologies and cultural norms that he believes will shape humanity fifteen years in the future. The crux of civilization seems to rest on the "Cloud". More than just the current buzzword signifying computation as service rather than product, Bullinga's Cloud is an all-encompassing technology, a name for the collection of networked services that will permeate every part of life.
Welcome to the Future Cloud is awash in high level discussion, colorful examples, and even more colorful pictures. This is not Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity is Near. There isn't an obsession with data, nor graphs, nor philosophical conversations with experts in the field. Welcome to the Future Cloud is a `big picture' type of book (literally as well, there are many large images flowing among the 180 pages).
That vision-first, data-second approach may be a bit disconcerting to those that entered into futurism through the likes of Kurzweil, Goertzel, or de Gray. Yet Bullinga makes it work for him, and more importantly he makes the concepts of the future something that may appeal more to the mainstream. Welcome to the Future Cloud is not intimidating, not in the slightest, and even the least tech-savvy of humanity will find predictions they can understand and argue for or against. In fact, one of the most appealing parts of this book is the associated quizzes discussed in the interview. Those online polls (which have similar questionnaires reprinted throughout the book) give the reader a chance to weigh in on Bullinga's vision. This may be the true power of Welcome to the Future Cloud. It's not an air tight roadmap to how humanity develops in the next fifteen years, it's a conversation starter. With Bullinga's dynamic style, his packed touring schedule, and his approachable take on the future, that conversation may be ready to spread to the mainstream.
