Up until the end of 2007 I worked for BT as their futurologist, but am now with Futurizon. I still do the same kind of work, i.e. consultancy and conference presentations, writing and media work. I am proficient in most aspects of the future.
For general enquiries regarding consultancy or conference speaking, either contact Futurizon on info@futurizon.net, or email me direct on idpearson@gmail.com. If I am not available, we will often be able to provide a suitable alternative via our many contacts. For BT futurology, Futurizon can also source the appropriate contacts.
Phone 01473 710870 (home working) or 07515 774 923 direct to my iPhone.
The best contact method is usually email which I deal with as soon as I am
available. Again, idpearson@gmail.com
Brief biography
Ian
Pearson graduated in 1981 in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics from Queens University, Belfast. He spent four
years in Shorts Missile Systems, in many different disciplines from mechanical
engineering to battlefield strategy simulation. He joined BT Laboratories in
1985 as a performance analyst, and has since worked in network design and
evolution, cybernetics, and mobile systems. Until the end of 2007 he remained
as BT’s Futurologist, concentrating on mapping the progress of new developments
throughout information technology, considering both technological and social
implications. He now does exactly the same things, but as an independent, so is
now able to give an unbiased view unconstrained by any corporate line. As a
futurologist and consultant, he lectures extensively on his futures views. In
between conferences, he writes extensively on topics such as machine
consciousness, human evolution, women’s issues, social trends and advanced
computing technology.
He has
received many awards for his papers, written several books and has made well
over 400 TV and radio appearances. He is a Chartered Fellow of the British
Computer Society, the World Academy of Art and Science, the Royal Society of
Arts, the Institute of Nanotechnology and the World Innovation Foundation. He
was recently awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree by the University of
Westminster.
