Two thoughts:
1. Practicing futurists must be careful about claiming predictions
about the future. Visionaries can get away with this, but not
professional futurists. We applied designers and futurists make
assumptive projections about preferred or alterative future and
develop strategies for assessing and dealing with the future trends
and outcomes.
2. Software that can predict the future is not currently capable of
distinguishing the savvy of advertising's hype and carefully written copy.
But this will be interesting to be sure.

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the
circle, then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what
is inside the circle and everything outside the circle, then that is
an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
