Living the Future The best way to invent the future is to live it. SENSEable City Lab, MIT
Vision The best way to invent the future is to live it. MIT, through close collaboration with a small number of Living the Future sponsorswill transform life on MIT’s campus and in the Cambridge Communityinto a blueprint for the future of connected life with the person in the center. There are a great many breakthroughs for which we have no model -- they require impossible joint-ventures, regulatory changes, or user-based innovations that we cannot predict. MIT and its community can invent and explore them. It can also become a test platform for sponsor ideas and ventures.
