thinkfuture>>

now this is not rocket science. some people say that thinking about the future is very difficult. i think its really easy. of course if you are a fan of science fiction (and admit it, most of us geeks are) that its easy to think about the future. why? well, the future is RIGHT THERE. right in that sf novel, story, tv show or movie you are watching. if its good sf, and believe me there is a TON of crappy sf out there. in good and great sf, you see the future, the real future. and then all you have to do is trace back to today. its like going through a maze backwards. super super easy. so one of the ways in which i invent the future is to consume a lot of good sf, then figure out how the stuff in the book came about. reel it back enough and you can envision the near future.
