Futures studies

Futures studies is a way to try and figure out what the future might look like. It uses research to try and understand what could happen in the future, and it looks to the past to try and understand what has led to the present and how things might change. People who study futures use different ways to think about the future and make predictions, like looking at trends or talking to experts in different fields. Sometimes, they even look at what could happen if things stay the same, or if things change in different ways. By understanding these different possibilities, they can help people make decisions about what to do in the future.
