Mathias Crawford
With an A.B. in History of Science from Harvard College, Mathias is interested in the convergence of social and technological forces: how they shape our individual behaviors and the structures of our communities, and in how technologies develop in response to, and exert influence on, social, political, and individual concerns.
Mathias has been integrally involved in development of the Foresight Engine, IFTF's platform for massively collaborative thought experiments that address provocative scenarios about the future.
As a member of the Technology Horizons program, Mathias has written extensively about the future of education, and has participated in research into the technological forces that are contributing to changing structures of community support; the nature of collaboration, especially as it is practiced in open source communities and by youth; and changing patterns of retail and banking.
