Foresight

Predicting the future….

People have always tried to predict the future, with varying luck (I don’t think anyone can really look into the future, so whenever someone actually makes a prediction that later turns out to be correct, I assume it’s luck). Consider this statement made by Kristian Wilson of Nintendo Inc. in 1989:

“Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.”

Anyone who has ever been to a rave-party can tell you that mr Wilson was wrong!
