As future/foresight reporting is all the rage nowadays, it's worth going back and taking a look at the 12 points Jamais Cascio had written a year ago:
1. Nobody can predict the future
2. Not everyone is surprised by surprises
3. Even when it's fast, change feels slow
4. Most trends die out
5. The future is usually the present, only moreso
6. There are always options
7. Dinosaurs lived for over 200 million years
8. Gadgets are not futurism
9. Sports scores and stock quotes" was 1990s futurist-ese for "I have no idea;" "social networking and tagging" looks to be the 2000s version
10. Technology is anything invented since you turned 13
11. The future belongs to the curious
12. The future is process, not a destination.
