Abstract

Today the future is travelling rapidly towards us, shaped by all that which we have historically thrown into it. Much of what we have designed for our world over the ages, and much of what Armstrong, Keith Armstrong, Keith we continue to embrace in the pursuit of mainstream economic, cultural and social imperatives, embodies unacknowledged 'time debts Time debt '. Every decision we make today has the potential to 'give time to', or take 'time away' from that future. This idea that 'everything' inherently embodies 'future time left' Future time is underlined by design futurist Design futurist QUT Creative Industries Tony Fry Fry, Tony when he describes how we so often 'waste' or 'take away' 'future time'. In our endeavors to sustain ourselves in the short term we collectively act in destructive ways towards the very things we and all other beings fundamentally depend upon.
