Delphi Methods (i)

Revised 6/30/2021


Reminder: HW1 due by midnight

      Confusions?
      Questions?


























Let's read off a few of the questions!

The recorder is important

        ... will collect data you need for the next HW

Raise your hand if you have found a recorder

Now raise your hand if you are a recorder








The Delphic Oracle is a site in the town of Delphi

Now it's a tourist attraction

Apollo was the god of oracles

What is an oracle, and who was Apollo?





















This could be an interesting term project!







Postscript: I tracked it down!







Way back in 1995:

-Their team toured the U.S.

-Met with me as part of their consultation process

-Produced "Future Technology in Japan: Toward the Year 2025"

-Sent me a copy of the previous edition:
    "Future Technology in Japan: Toward the Year 2020"



(There is also an English edition)

They produced a set of predictions every 5 years

    ... ended with the 2035 predictions

    ... 2035 seemed unavailable when I checked last

    ... earlier editions may still be available

    ... there could be another term project here










Participants discuss the question

... then estimate when it will occur

... we will do it with paper slips























You could consider using
your question and the
results in your term
project

     (If you wish)
