Foresight (futures studies)

Foresight (or futures studies) is a way of thinking about the future. It's like a kind of guessing game about what things will be like in the future. When we use foresight, we try to think about all kinds of things that might happen and make plans for them. For example, if we think that there might be a shortage of food in the future, we can think of ways to make sure everyone has enough to eat. Or, if we think that there might be new technologies coming out soon, we can plan for how to use them or make sure we are prepared for them. Foresight helps us think ahead and be ready for what comes next!
