Now that you have learned about each of the areas of psychology, articulate a vision for how you would like to see psychology develop in the future. This can be a specific vision about a scientific project you would like to see undertaken, or it can be an idea about how psychology will affect or be affected by other emerging trends, fields, and technologies. Feel free to use your imagination, it doesn′t have to be a project you could necessarily put together tomorrow, but something which you could envision being possible within the next 5-10 years, or even your lifetime. Some brainstorming tips: What is missing or lacking in psychology as we have surveyed it? How could we use existing or emerging technologies to benefit more people? Are there reasons to be pessimistic or concerned about major risks in the future, and if so, what role could psychological findings and tools have in mitigating those risks?
