Abstract
This paper is an expanded version of the survey talk (with the same title) presented at the 1995 Conference on near-rings and near-fields held at the Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, 30 July - 5 August, 1995. The paper is divided into three parts, namely the past, the present and predictions (or taking the suggestions of one of the conference participants and a small liberty with spelling), the past, the present, and the phuture. In the next section I will give the general setting, some background information, and discuss some of the earlier results. In the following section I will focus on more recent results and in the final section I will suggest some possible directions for further investigations.
