Future Day
• It is being organized in many countries this year- over 20 cities around the world like- Utah, Springfield, San Francisco, Columbia, Paris, Seattle and other places.
• It is a day to focus and celebrate the efforts of people around the world who are working in their domains for a better future.
• Like Childrens Day (in India), Republic Day, Independence Day and many other national holidays, if Future Day is celebrated as a Global holiday, it will be more effective.
• First Future Day was hosted in march, 2012 and the idea was given by AI researcher Ben Goertzel and Humanity + organization is putting effort to make this happen. IFS is contributing for the same.
