time is linear and that the future is merely an empty space that can be ‘colonized’

“Major corporations are often restricted by a too-limited view of the future. This view is based on the western belief that time is linear and that the future is merely an empty space that can be ‘colonized’ to the present and filled with ever more technology and consumer goods. However, this technology and consumer determinism now threatens to compromise our wellbeing and prosperity."
- by Josephine Green, senior director of trends and strategy at Philips Design
