Abstract
From the beginning of time humankind has tried to see into the future. Attempts have been made to predict the outcome of wars, harvests and distant travels. In ancient times the Oracle of Delphi was consulted. The need for insight into possible future developments is as great now as it has ever been, although nowadays we are more interested in traffic problems, the environment and the construction of cities, etc.
