Clark's 3 laws
Arthur C Clarke's three laws of forecasting:
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Clarke's 2 hazards of forecasting:
- Failure of nerve
- Failure of imagination
