    I know that is used for someone who generally has a good enough grasp on science and technology to make rough approximations of what could happen as those fields progress, but it sounds like a fancy term for a psychic.

      I’m switching my LinkedIn title to Futuronomist to avoid this kind of mixup

      Don’t worry, everyone that’s supposed to get a good grasp at Tech and science gets as wrong as everyone else.

      Fusion power plants are a decade away. As well as quantum computers for practical applications, and general artificial intelligence. Everything that is more than ten year gets compressed into "next decade’.
