Page 22: History and Futures of Futures Studies

At the present time, futures studies is enjoying

a rebirth of demand and growth

similar to that of the 1960s and 70s.

Page 23: History and Futures of Futures Studies

Demand for useful information about the futures is incessant.

While still ignored by most academics,

more and more universities around the world are incorporating futures studies into their curriculum.

Page 24: History and Futures of Futures Studies

Unfortunately, many of those programs focus only on foresight,

or strategic foresight— for the most part they have

a single-visioned view of the future.

Page 25: History and Futures of Futures Studies

Too many still assume it is, or soon will be, possible to predict the future.

These are serious errors.

Page 26: History and Futures of Futures Studies

It is not possible to “predict” THE future.

It is possible and necessary to “forecast” alternative futures.

Page 27: History and Futures of Futures Studies

There are four “generic” alternative futures:

Page 28: History and Futures of Futures Studies

Grow, Collapse, Discipline, Transform

Page 29: History and Futures of Futures Studies

Futures must always be considered within the framework of those

four alternative images of the futures.
