Bitcoins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a global payment system that can be compared to other currencies such as the dollar or the euro, but with several basic differences, the most prominent of which is that this currency is a fully electronic currency that is traded online only without its physical presence. Wikipedia<\/p>\n\n\n

Is Bitcoin<\/a> a greed-driven fad or will the\u00a0blockchain technology that underlies it revolutionize the internet<\/a>? Will artificial intelligence produce\u00a0a world of ease and plenty<\/a>\u00a0or turn on us and\u00a0kill us all<\/a>? Is that\u00a0jet pack<\/a>\u00a0you always wanted arriving any day now, or basically never?<\/p>\n

There are no shortage of people who make their livings by claiming to have answers to these questions. You should probably meet their claims with a healthy dose of skepticism.<\/p>\n

Futurists aren’t all snake oil salesmen, of course, and it’s\u00a0sensible\u00a0for both individuals and businesses to think ahead and develop contingency plans for possible future scenarios. But history also offers plenty of reasons to be skeptical of “experts” with crystal balls.<\/p>\n

In the past, a great many of them have often been outrageously wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You may have heard the infamous 1977 quote by Digital Equipment Corp<\/a>. president Ken Olson —\u00a0“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home” — but as a highly entertaining recent\u00a0roundup of failed tech predictions by blog Relatively Interesting<\/a> illustrates, Olson’s flub was just the tip of a very large iceberg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
