-- a university of arizona
course on methods and approaches for studying the future
How
do you study the future or learn more about it? There are no obvious answers.
In general, have a sense of history and how we got where we are, have a general
sense of where things are going, and have the ability to integrate and communicate
to others all that knowledge. This requires an open mind, so you need to know your
weaknesses and biases as well as your strengths, so you don't fool yourself. It
means you are widely read and college other people's views.
See the Futures
Overview for some hints and a roadmap to study the future.
