I got this idea while reading about the future of music a few weeks ago (a finnish book) when the author was talking about how the past is present in the future. Btw., I recommend Stephen's talk, it's truly visionary.<br /> Stephen, wow, what a coincidence.

Once you reach the end of a finger, you find might find yourself in another palm, with more choices. Your next choice is always predicated on how you got to your present location, and once you start down a path it is very challenging to change to a different one without first going back to a previously comfortable and stable place/practice/palm. Trying to research the history of the future is similarly challenging, especially when on a given day, a new evolution in technology, or a new scientific finding, or a new idea can redirect our next steps, sending us down paths with many unforseen tangents. Now I'm wondering if we can 'predict the past' that will have been that most stable and effective point from which to proceed...
