A record of what we thought would happen.
FutureTrace is a database of predictions, claims and expectations about the future — preserved so they can later be compared with reality.
The goal is simple: make the future traceable.

How it works
Exploring the future
What did we think the future would look like?
FutureTrace explores historical predictions about the future and compares them with what actually happened. From technology and artificial intelligence to energy, space, transportation, science and society, we track how expectations change over time.
Some predictions were remarkably accurate. Others were completely wrong. Many ended up somewhere in between. FutureTrace is built to document these changes and understand what they can tell us about the future.
The principle
Don't just predict the future.
Trace it.
