I leave predicting the future to people who do TED talks. I'd like to think something more like designing a distributed system in computing than a science, where you start with the properties you want it to have and then figure out a protocol that has them. Then everyone knows it's all a game and they can make up a new game if the one they're playing turns out not to be very good. Something something flying cars and robot butlers.
