We all think about the future, both short and long-term. Some people, however, are better equipped to see it or predict it. They’re called futurists. They study emerging ideas, trends, and technologies to make predictions about tomorrow’s world. Glen Hiemstra, founder of Futurist.com, is one of them. He predicts that the next half-decade will be “the era that leads to truly occupying space”. Want to hear more of Hiemstra’s predictions? Join us at 19:30 GMT for a preview of 2014 and beyond.
