Richard Yonck began reading science fiction from his earliest school days. Always curious about the future and worlds beyond our own planet, he was fascinated by computers and electronics as well. As a boy, he could often be found in the garage taking apart motors, radios and televisions, then reassembling them in order to understand how they worked. Combined with his love of writing, media, and computing, this eventually put him on the path as an international keynote speaker, global futurist and best-selling author. In these roles, he takes audiences on journeys into the future to explore the potential impacts of emerging trends and technologies on business, industry and society.

“When our Paleolithic ancestors began making tools from stone over three million years ago, they had no understanding they were entering into one of the most successful symbiotic relationships this planet has ever seen. From those humble, preverbal beginnings, humans and technology have lifted one another, improved each other’s lot, made possible the most amazing partnership imaginable.”
