Futurology is the activity of trying to predict what is going to happen, on the basis of facts about what is happening now. The way a good investor does really well is by engaging in successful futurology. + futurologist futurologists fu·tur·olo·gist In his March 1984 report Wanger analyzed some predictions made by futurologists in 1972. the activity of trying to say correctly what will happen in the future. Study of current trends in order to forecast future developments. The field originated in the "technological forecasting" developed near the end of World War II and in studies examining the consequences of nuclear conflict. Studies in the 1960s sought to anticipate future social patterns and needs. The Limits of Growth by Dennis Meadows, et al. (1972), focused on global socioeconomic trends, projecting a Malthusian vision in which the collapse of the world order would result if population growth, industrial expansion, pollution, food production, and natural-resource use continued at current rates. Later reports reiterated many of these concerns, with critics contending that futurologists' models were flawed and futurologists responding that their analytic techniques were becoming increasingly sophisticated. Other notable works include Alvin Toffler's Future Shock (1970), Daniel Bell's The Coming of Post-Industrial Society (1973), Jonathan Schell's The Fate of the Earth (1982), and Nigel Calder's The Green Machines (1986)
