Intelligence Squared show

Summary: http://www.iq2if.com Catering for YoYos and accommodating See Saws are just two design challenges created by the UK's ageing society, says Jeremy Myerson. Getting old is as disruptive as adolescence: moving home, changes in health, confusion over new technology and sexual diseases - all require design solutions. The inaugural If Conference, from debate forum Intelligence Squared, took place on November 25-26th November in London. More than 30 celebrated scientists, award winning architects, farsighted futurologists and other brilliant minds shed light on the excitements and the dangers of tomorrow's world.
