Comments on 1956: Avoiding the future plague

The images in this document really “look and feel” like the ’50s as per my own souvenirs. The voice of the comments also “sounds and feels” like a voice from a document or reportage of the ’50s. Nevertheless, we know that now with the use of AI it is easy to mimic any voice accent or tone. The images related to the prediction in this document are very general and so the prediction is only in the words, not the images. And the text also hints at other now observed phenomena (such as the explosion of communications and low-value speeches), to increase the “prophecy” effect (likeliness) of its prediction about a viral-based pandemic in 2020. In conclusion for me, this document is a faked one produced by anti-aviation activists. Do you share my views?

About

I joined SITA Paris in June 1978 as an engineer in the Technical Studies department which was then managed by Georges Giraudbit. After developping planning tools for the HLN and later the DTN, I led the design and implementation of the new routing algorithm of the DTN. Later my team delivered the strategy and specification for migrating the network from airline specific protocols to open standards, and whichalso served for the RFP for the MTN. After working on developing projects for non-airline customers, I moved to SITA Geneva in 1999, in marketing and later fiance departments. In 2004 i left SITA to join IATA in Geneva. With IATA I first worked on launching and developing a new business based on providing credit card payment services to travel agencies. Then I moved to IT, in charge of all data management for successfully.implementing SAP at IATA. Once that project was over I joined the Cargo department at IATA, in charge of Technical developments. Having worked both at SITA and IATA has been a very unique experience for me!
