Some of us are quite excited to know about our future than perhaps anyone else in the world. Earlier centuries we are much too close to our future than how we deal with future today. There are better and higher means of finding out what the future holds us, because of technology. Rain, storm and even hurricane can always be forecasted and it just makes it easier.
Today, with the meltdown in the business and economy, some turn to future readers and take their readings into much importance than ever before. And like them we also feel confident to trust their forecasts. But sometimes those people with the power to predict are actually manipulating and spinning for their own personal gain.
How much MOXIE, adrenaline and/or nerve does it take to call yourself a "futurist," or, as Strategic News Service's Mark Anderson does, to skip all the labels and simply announce: "I predict the future." And then, just when you're thinking he's well and truly nuts, to add: "And I grade myself."
And yet there are psychics, futurists in nearly every realm including health, transportation, or environment. There are even others who claim to know everything just by looking at the system, thus many says.
There are also some futurists who are into negative and always has something negative to say.
When every psychics and futurists claim their talents and their outstanding psychic predictions for future economy, some are actually contemplating on the things that are might be impossible to happen but certainly it could happen. Same with the notion that technology could get out of control, and might endanger humans, even the exaggerating “killer robot” headlines.
A lot of the people who proposed to have a vision against the future don’t want to call themselves futurists. Some even deny that they too can predict and that it is possible to do.
Even Dr. Chuck Murry, a University of Washington researcher who works with heart muscles and stem cells, doesn't call himself a futurist, but adds: "I think we have to predict the future, and I think we are part of shaping the future."
