Technology is developing to liberate people from the mind managers.
Predictor: Chapman, Bruce
Prediction, in context:In a 1995 article for Governing, Christopher Conte quotes Bruce Chapman of the Discovery Institute in Seattle. Conte writes: ”Because online discussions are more convenient and efficient, they can be conducted over longer periods of time; people can listen, drop in and out of the discussion, refine their views, offer rebuttals or change their minds – all on their own schedule in the comfort of their own homes. And everybody has a say. ‘Technology is developing to liberate people from the mind managers,’ argues Bruce Chapman, president of the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based think tank.”
