As a byproduct of accelerating change stuff gets compressed - the STEM Compression hypothesis (sometimes referred to as the 'Transcension Hypothesis') is where Space, Time, Energy & Matter (S.T.E.M.) gets compressed.. and as a result becomes more resilient, and protected from the fluctuations of the environment. Technology will be biologically inspired to overcome limitations of biology - we will merge with technologies, transcend biology. Bio: John Smart is a futurist and scholar of accelerating change. He is founder and president of the Acceleration Studies Foundation, an organization that does "outreach, education, research, and advocacy with respect to issues of accelerating change." Smart has an MS in futures studies from the University of Houston, and a BS in business administration from U.C. Berkeley. John M. Smart interviewed by Adam A. Ford, June 2011 - part 1
