2050: Who Designs the Future? [E206]

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

Two startling facts: What you believe about the world at 13, you will likely die believing—and what is shaping your view of the world isn’t what you think…

 

What are the CORE influences that shape what you belief and how you move through the world?

 

According the Barna Group (a research center in America) here is the list:

  • Media
  • Media
  • Media
  • Media
  • Media
  • Gov. 
  • Family

(I exaggerate, watch the episode for the REAL list). This is measured by time spend and impact. Mileage may vary from culture to culture... but what isn’t changing between cultures—the amount of time you spend on screens.

 

By the time a child is 14 they will have consumed on average 18,000 hours of media exposure – the equivalent of 6.2 years of 8-hour days of media saturation. Social media, YouTube, and TV is shaping culture MORE than religion or government or family.

 

What about the rest of the world, maybe culture is different and family and religion or government is still impacting youth more. 

 

Maybe—I would argue probably more than in America or Europe but Asia is a few decades behind USA and USA a couple decades behind Europe as far as the decline of influence organized systems like religion or government has on a society. What we measure TODAY in culture is an indicator of what was happening 25-30 years ago in culture. 

Sure, there is still a huge influence in culture from religion and gov in the MENA. However, it has drastically changed in the last 20 years. AND, we have yet to see what culture will be like in 2050 once the 8-13 year olds are 38-43.

 
We tackle the following questions:

So what media is shaping culture--what does that mean?
Okay sure values are changing, but isn't that a good thing?
 What is now acceptable in American Culture? 

What is the future impact of that cultural change?
Where will Asia be in 2050? 

 

 Robert Henderson from Episode #193 weighs in on this topic with a comment on the affect broken families have on culture. 

 

Today's quote comes from  Edwin Paxton Hood was . . .  was born in Half-moon Street, London, Oct. 24, 1820. He was self-educated. Poet, Author, Independent Minister, biographer:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Paxton_Hood

“Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you keep; for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as the latter.”

— Edwin Paxton Hood
