The Future Of The Future

Moving forward, our Army's primary purpose is steadfast and resolute: to fight and win our Nation's wars. But we all know that the Army must be able to do much more than that. Today, we require an Army that is adaptive and innovative, flexible and agile, integrated and synchronized, lethal and discriminate. Even more critical in today's complex and uncertain environment, the Army is the decisive arm of the Joint Force in a broad range of missions. Historically the Army has been focused on a specific set of needs, but these needs and the means in which they are resourced have changed. So we must fundamentally change how we do business. As we keep adding rocks to our Soldiers' rucksacks, all leaders must remain cognizant over time. Everyone's load can get too heavy and cause permanent wear and tear. So it is a good idea to

Is technology a tool or is it an evil and useless thing that shouldn’t be depended on. Some people think technology is a step in the right direction and should be developed and continued, while others think it could be something that will take over and will not help the well-being of humans. While carefully reading the two works, “Inside the home of the Future” by Kelly Greene and “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury, you can distinct the two opposing views that Bradbury and Greene possess on the topic.

1. The 2013 Army Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG) describes an Army that is “globally responsive and regionally engaged — one building toward a regionally aligned, mission tailored force that can Prevent, Shape and Win now and in the future.” To guide this approach, the Army lists four imperatives that form the basis of the Army Campaign Plan:

The USAG-Ansbach 2020 Campaign Plan operationalizes the vision of the Garrison Commander over a 5-year period (2015-2020). This plan is intended as a change management document to guide, shape, and drive the direction of the command’s future actions. The plan provides the necessary guidance and a framework to progress toward the USAG-Ansbach 2020 end-state.

In May, the Army released its updated Army Vision, Strategic Advantage in a Complex World, to be the intellectual foundation for its efforts to prevent conflict, shape security environments, and win wars. That followed the October release of the new Army Operating Concept, Win in a Complex World, which discusses how warfighting capabilities combine to fulfill larger missions — that is, how future Army forces, as part of joint, interorganizational, and multinational efforts, will operate to accomplish campaign objectives and protect U.S. national interests. Force 2025 and Beyond, in turn, shapes the comprehensive effort necessary to achieve the capabilities envisioned in the Army Operating Concept.

General Dempsey articulated the United States military is the premier global military with a decisive military advantage but dominance just doesn’t happen necessitating the United States military to maintain the decisive edge. Dempsey’s statement is the catalyst for the premise of Joint Force 2025 in which the United States military embarks upon a transition and rebalance to address a wide continuum of emerging threats to our nation’s national interests in the foreseeable future. Dempsey correctly states that adaptation and innovation are essential to the Joint Force 2025 as ‘we have to out-learn and out-think our adversaries.’ This essay will recommend general capabilities of Joint Force 2025 which are necessary to transition and rebalance the force based on strategic guidance and the global security environment which provides the combatant commander with right-sized capabilities in support of the nation’s strategic interests. Utilization of national strategic guidance will lay the foundation for the assessment of each service’s general capabilities in support of Joint Force 2025 while also appraising risk implications in the foreseeable global security environment.

One can expect an increased role of CA in Nation Assistance operations as well. One possible change could place the DoD, with CA as its branch of choice, into the traditional role of the DoS to supervise Security Assistance (SA) operations. In the past, the DoS supervised SA while the DoD administered the military portions of the program, but a significant budget cut may change traditional roles as the DoS is forced to prioritize their tasks and personnel. Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Foreign Military Construction Sales (FMCS), and International Military Education and Training (IMET) are examples of those supervisory tasks that could change hands in the future. Therefore, at a tactical level, I see CATs with even more importance in the area of NA since their input will aid in the strategic SA direction.

This book discusses Social Identity, coping, and life tasks have three authors. Geraldine Downey, who’s an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University. Then Jacquelynne S. Eccles, who’s an Wilbert McKeachie Collegiate Professor of Psychology, Women's Studies, and Education and research scientist at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. And Celina M. Chatman is associate director of the Center for Human Potential and Public Policy at the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago. Navigating the Future focuses on the roles social identity plays on youths. They present how stressful and challenging it has become for youths.

Technology in education is not a new concept, especially at the college level. Universities are encouraged to offer online courses, or as freelance journalist Chrissie Long and many other experts call them, MOOCs (massive online open courses), to reach out to more students and provide them with a more convenient style of learning (455). While MOOCs certainly have their strengths, how far should universities go? What is the future of online education? Should colleges of the future only offer online courses, or should face-to-face classes still be the primary form of education? Blended courses, though not without faults of their own, can combine the best elements of

The future of the human race is terrifying to ponder about; not only does it raise many questions as to how the constant population growth will be handled, but it also causes natural resources to become more limited by the day. As human beings progress towards the future they will undoubtedly accomplish a myriad of feats. It is essential that one of such feats can solve the issues brought forth by the ever growing population of the human race. Furthermore, engineers must either generate new ways to sustain the increasing population, or they must develop systems to restrict the growth of population in general. It may even be possible for engineers to apply their work towards developing certain systems or technologies which can do such things as producing more clean drinking water, disposing of waste more efficiently, being more efficient with energy (such as oil and fossil fuels), etc. If present day engineers do not work quickly toward solving these problems, it could be catastrophic. The human race is running out of the required resources to sustain the current population, let alone the future population of the Earth at this rate. The population of people on the Earth is expected to reach 8 billion by 2024 and is projected to be 10 billion by 2056. (Worldometers, 2016). As the population will increase by billions in the next few decades, the human race will not be able to sustain such essential resources as oil, coal, and many other essential resources for human survival.

The evidence that Martin Ford provides for his thesis is all related to different industries, and how they will turn out to be in the future. First, he discusses information technology, in which he tells the audience about Moore’s Law (p. 58). He uses Moore’s Law to describe the effect that technology will have in the future on IT. Then, he goes on to discuss the risk that white-collar jobs face from automation. One aspect of his evidence is “Quill”, which is a technology that is used by media outlets to produce articles about various subjects including, sports, business and politics (pp. 72-73). This helps him explain the idea of advanced technology being able to replace jobs that require some amount of human intelligence. The next main

Many achievements have been accomplished in recent decades in almost every area of technology in connection to engineering, computer science, manufacturing, medicine, and etc. In today 's current times, technology impacts individuals directly or indirectly from laptop to smart phones usage for personal use, at work, home and school. College students have been directly influence by the new technology in their studies since now day’s personal laptop is a requirement for certain classes, assignments are now being posted and answers submitted on online, there is an increase demand for online courses, many of the research is now online base, VARIOUS courses now offer online books and so forth. Technology has now become a second

Millennials, the generation born between the years of 1980 and 2000, prefer instant gratification to delving deep into a resource, and they tend to be more progressive in their ideologies compared to their elders. The average young adult these days prefers images and diagrams to a page filled with scholarly words. We millennials thrive on flashing logos and visual stimuli. Present us with graphs and illustrations because we want the information to hit us all at once and in a unique way, instead of having to read separate bits of information sentence by sentence on a plain white page. Keep what you’re trying to say under 140 characters or we will get bored. Don’t send us flyers in the mail; follow us on Instagram because we are always on our phones anyways. Colleges and universities are catching on to the trend that the upcoming generation is technologically driven and prefer their information to be both terse and entertaining. They are also beginning to recognize the importance diversity plays in this generation’s life. This combination of artsy efficiency and liberal viewpoints is influencing the way universities choose to appeal to potential students.
