Latest dispatch from another one of our intrepid travellers--Aaron Rosa.
Dear All,
I am writing this [note] to encourage feedback on my summer course project at HRCFS. The Olympic Games start tomorrow, and I am established here in Beijing building a weblog focused on an analysis of Images of the Future that are present at these games. I have compiled supplementary information during the months leading up tot the games.
June comprises snapshot views at China's History.
July's work focuses on Current Trends involving the People's Republic of China.
August leading up to the games involves some impressions gathered here in the last 5 months, and some information concerning Futures Analysis and Research.
Tomorrow, the Opening Ceremonies will kick off the games, and I will be roving the Olympic sites, analyzing the Futures Images that are present at these games.
However, a one-way analysis and presentation would prove less fruitful than what I am hopeful this project will encompass. It is my hope that this project may inspire a short term discussion of the varying Futures at play during these games between Futures specialists from around the world. This kind of a resource could help others to better understand Futures Studies, as it pertains to real-time events, and their current lives.
The address to the blog is here:

Lastly, I am hopeful that all of you will have a chance to stop by the blog during the next few weeks to view pictures, read analysis, and leave your own.
Thank You,
Aaron Rosa
