Another new technology the conference is seeking to cover is the use of avatars in financial planning; this is a new science of virtual aging that shows clients what they’ll look like in the future. According to Drucker, researchers are finding that when individuals are able to “see” themselves in the future they are better motivated to save.
That’s kind of creepy. I don’t think the first thing I’d say upon seeing myself in +20 years is “I really should be saving more.” I’d probably just scream and run away.
