March 
had a bump in articles related to foresight in the media. The kay factor in the increase was interest in future currencies. As the cryptocurrency mania escalated, futurists were asked for their perspective.
Keynotes continue to be a key source of media attention. Our old friend Jack Uldrich continues to capture attention with 13 separate keynote speeches appearing in the media. He is consistently mentioned, at least once a week.
Dr. Nilda Perez is also maintaining her significant profile in media presence, which began to spike in January at the start of the year. Her Internet radio success has placed many futurists in the spotlight.
The other popular topics for the past month (March, 2018) have focused on the coverage of futurists attending SXSW in Austin, TX., commentary on politics in America, and the old reliable future of work. Continued media discussion of futurist’s events and conferences helps to relay what was accomplished, and how the outlook for the future has changed. One of the more interesting topics to headline recent discussions is on the future of automated cars and the ethical dilemma that is already budding at home and abroad. – Stephen Layman
