NextNow was founded over 20 years ago by a group of technologists, humanitarians, and futurists.
Counted among their members was Dr. Douglas Engelbart, the
father of modern computing. Since that time, NextNow has grown into a global,
multidisciplinary network of people devoted to maintaining focus on humanity
amid accelerating technological change.
