    Futurology: The tricky art of knowing what will happen next

    An interesting article on the subject, in todays BBC's News Magazine.

    A 1972 book which predicts what life would be like in 2010 has been reprinted after attracting a cult following, but how hard is it to tell the future?

    Ranald,

    I don't know if you remember the work of Edgar Casey? He had many predictions laid out especially the major earth quakes which causes half of California to fall into the Pacific Ocean.

    I have a strange way of looking at predictions. I believe, in cases of man made disasters, terrorist or psychotics use man made predictions to initiate their tactics.
    Natural disaster predictions when correct can be a gift from God or it can be scientific when studied and calculated correctly.

    Computers were around many many years before the public was made aware of them as was the internet. Many modern technologies are kept secret for years before they are made known to the general public.

    I cannot wait for the 'Jetsons' life style except, I want denim tights instead of polyester!

    Cheers!
