Las Vegas, NV, Jan. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Proto Inc. announced today at CES 2024 that Faith Popcorn, Futurist, author, and founder & CEO of Faith Popcorn’s BrainReserve, has been appointed Proto’s Official Futurist, utilizing her trend-setting predictions to accelerate Proto’s transcendence into the future.
“I started Proto to make good on the future we were led to believe in from the Jetsons and Star Trek,” said David Nussbaum, Inventor and CEO of Proto Inc. “Faith Popcorn has always been the number one champion of thinking big about the future, so it’s a dream come true to have her vision on our side.”
Faith Popcorn is recognized globally as the first and foremost Futurist and has been called the “The Trend Oracle” by the New York Times and “The Nostradamus of Marketing” by Fortune Magazine. Her practice of Applied Futurism translates her cultural trend insights into actionable business strategies. With a documented 95% accuracy rate, Faith predicted everything from bottled water to AI. She foresaw the rise of telemedicine, virtual travel, ed tech and humanoid robot companions, all spaces where Proto will thrive.
To kick-off 2024, Faith foretells that loneliness will be eradicated in our lifetime with the introduction of Proto AI Holographic Avatars, “know-it-alls”, that can provide companionship, helping us stay connected to lead happier, fulfilled, longer-lasting lives.
”No Fortune 200 will be able to move into the Future Proto-less,” said Faith Popcorn. “This dynamic technology will provide richer, three-dimensional living and breathing connections for an immersive experience.”
