As we enter 2024 , we inevitably hope for a brighter new year .

The pace of change in recent years has been dizzying . So while it is hard to imagine what 2024 may hold , how can we even begin to look further into the future ?

A century ago , journalists were doing just that – speculating about the world we may inhabit . Those predictions , in hindsight , were not all bad .

One anticipated a day when “ watch-size radio telephones will keep everybody in communication with the ends of the earth ", while another hailed the four-hour working day . They also thought we would live to the ripe old age of 300 .

It is essential that we , as a race , continue this fascination with the future . From climate change to machines taking over the world , fears abound – but nothing is written .

The future is there for the making .
