Description

We should expect Mormonism to thrive amidst accelerating technological change in coming decades. Its relatively young and reproductive demographics, high cultural retention, emphasis on education, theological compatibility with science, moderate stances in bioethics, and persistent adoption of new technologies will be drivers. The views of Mormon Transhumanists may provide insight into the future of Mormonism. Lincoln Cannon first presented these ideas on 4 June 2008 in Second Life at the Extropia Core conference on the Future of Religion and Religions of the Future.
