Show Synopsis
editTomorrow's World Today's focuses on the latest innovations and news (in the worlds of creation, production, innovation, inspiration) in technology, science, and sustainability taking place around the world.
1. The World of Inspiration: In the World of Inspiration, Tomorrow's World Today explores the mysteries of nature. Nature inspires us and without people who are inspired, the other three worlds cannot exist. When we are inspired, we create.
2. The World of Creation: This world does all sorts of traditional artistic work: glass blowing, blacksmithing, gardening, painting and much more. If you think about it, the traditional arts of the past - which are the hobbies and crafts of today - were at one time innovations (like inventing blue glass to create drinking glasses or white porcelain to create plates). These traditional crafts not only make us feel good because we are creating, but they also teach the basics of how to make things.
3. The World of Innovation: In this world, we draw upon knowledge from the World of Creation in raw material science, manufacturing know-how, and more to inspire us to push into the next frontier of innovation, so we can attempt to discover and make new things for the benefit of humankind.
4. The World of Production: Once we innovate new things, we need to learn how to scale it up so it can become more available to more people at a more affordable price! In order to scale up, we need to create methodologies and equipment which creates the World of Production (think car factory, candy factory and more).
It is in these 4 worlds that the stories of Tomorrow's World Today are told.
The first season of the TV series focused on George Davison's creative vision of building a sustainable "Park of the Future".
