The great Jesuit anthropologist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, has long fascinated us with his vision that the world would evolve into a “noosphere,” a great web of consciousness enveloping the Earth. It seemed a lovely but distant ideal, yet the Digital Revolution has now made that dream a reality. Professor Halal will discuss how the &quot;Age of Consciousness&quot; is here today, and it promises to transform our lives, our work, social institutions, the global order, and our very minds and souls.<br /><br />William E. Halal is Professor Emeritus of Management, Technology, and Innovation at George Washington University, with degrees from Purdue and UC Berkeley. Professor Halal has published 7 books and hundreds of articles, consults corporations and governments and is a frequent speaker, once substituting for Peter Drucker. Professor Halal is the founder of TechCast, a web-based system that pools the knowledge of experts to forecast breakthroughs in technology, social trends, and wild cards to assist decision makers in managing a changing world. He received the 1977 Mitchell Prize for his article “Beyond the Profit-Motive” and another article, &quot;Through the MegaCrisis&quot; was awarded Outstanding Paper of 2013. Halal was also cited by the Encyclopedia of the Future as one of the top 100 futurists in the world.<br /><br />This program is free and open to all and is presented by Little Falls Village in partnership with the Little Falls Library of Montgomery County Public Libraries.<br /><br />Join our event here:<br /><br />https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88213941543?pwd=dStTTkJ2cGFJRDBNUDVJUHNtSjltUT09<br /><br />Or Dial In:?301 715 8592; Meeting ID: 882 1394 1543 Passcode: 740616
