Jori, your humble servant here holds two degrees in history: B.A. in British (focus on Industrial Revolution) and M.A. in Canada (focus on Industrial Revolution). Therefore, he is always pleased when students mine the technique of historical analysis in trend forecasting for their own purposes. Futuring and History are the same process. Both imagine. We use evidence to image the past - which is no longer here. We use evidence to imagine the future - which is not yet here! My study of history was a superb tranining in imagination application - or "imagineering." At the time, I was not aware of trend forecasting as a discipline, for it was just starting to emerge. I am delighted to see the overlaps!
