...inspiring, entertaining, wise... Karen Cator, CEO Digital Promise
...a remarkable, provocative, must read... Ian Jukes, CEO InfoSavvy 21
THE FUTURE IS JUST GETTING STARTED ...and it’s not slowing down.
Someday, and sooner than you think, you may...
- Feel left behind because you didn’t get the genetic enhancements others got that made them more athletic and attractive… -- Wonder whether to buy your kids the latest headware that allows them to “think better” and raise their math test scores (after all, other parents are doing it…) -
- Try to wrap your mind around the fact that your child is taking a robot to the prom. He got the idea from you, when you decided to get an android office assistant rather than hire a human being… -
And those are just a few of the speed bumps we can expect as we race down the technological turnpike.
What to do? Relax, and enjoy this new read by Jason Ohler. Hop on board the “technology-roller-coaster-without-brakes” and tour the future in terms of living and learning, and balancing our two worlds we now live in: real life and the immersive reality on the other end of our smart devices.
Clear, brilliant and packed with humor and insight, 4Four Big Ideas lays out sensible pathways for considering new perspectives about our digital lifestyles. It tells stories of the future that are rooted in the past, and imbued with the wisdom gleaned from the author’s 35 years of innovation.
Above all, this is a book for everyone. It entertains, inspires and informs, and reacquaints us with the human side of the digital revolution.
The Future is just getting started. We can help it move forward by telling stories with intelligence and humanity that are worthy of our imaginations. Read 4Four Big Ideas and find out how.

About the Author
Dr. Jason Ohler has been telling stories about the future that are rooted in the realities of the past during the entire thirty five years he has been involved in the world of high technology and innovative education. He is a professor emeritus, distinguished president’s professor of educational technology and virtual learning who has won numerous awards for his work. He is author of many books, articles and online resources, and is a speaker, humorist, teacher, media psychologist, cyber researcher and grandpa. He is also a lifelong digital humanist who is well known for the passion, insight and humor that he brings to his presentations, projects and publications.
He is also an enthusiastic champion of the need for everyone to learn how to use technology wisely and safely, with awareness and compassion, so they can become informed and productive citizens in a global, connected society. Above all, he has spent his many years in education combining innovation, creatical thinking and digital know-how to help renew and reinvent teaching and learning.
Many call him a futurist, he calls himself a nowist, believing we already have what we need to create the kinds of communities we need in order to meet the challenges of the digital age with creativity and humanity.
"The goal is the effective, creative and wise use of technology . . . to bring together technology, community, learning and clear communication in ways that meet our needs as human beings. And while we are at it, to have fun."

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
