If you are a scientist, you make predictions

This is a really good idea from Seth Godin.

Scientists make predictions, and predicting the future is far more valuable than explaining the past.

"If you are a scientist, you make predictions!"

You might call this a form of personal knowledge management.

I'll make two public predictions. Over the next twenty years:

• KM will not die.
• The KM name will not change.

What are your predictions? Will Google+ be a success or failure? Will the world economic system avoid collapse during the next 20 years?
