The big problem about predicting the future is how much it will change.
When cars appeared, obviously fewer horses would be required.
But much more than horses were affected.

As the Singularity approaches, we face the problem that *everything*
will be changing.
So predicting the future now means that almost anything we can think
of will be different and things that we never even thought of will
appear.
We live in interesting times, indeed!
