Futurism is the study and exploration of possible futures, involving the projection of current trends, technological advancements, and societal shifts to envision what may lie ahead. Originating as a blend of academic discipline and speculative imagination, futurism aims to anticipate and understand the potential consequences of today's actions on tomorrow's world.

Futurists engage in activities like scenario planning, trend analysis, and modeling to forecast different aspects of future society, including technological innovations, environmental changes, and social developments.
