Technology forecasting

Technology forecasting is a way for us to predict what types of technology will exist in the future. It helps us think about how technology could help solve problems and make our lives better. We can use technology forecasting to figure out what types of technology could clear pollution, help us communicate with each other, or travel to space. By predicting what types of technology can exist in the future, it helps us make better decisions now about what types of technology we should invest in to make sure our future is better.
