It is often heard that history and futurology are related. To an extent, it is true. While we study the past and present in history, we study about the future in futurology. Since history relies on solid events that have already happened, History is solid and fails proof. Since futurology is based on events that are to take place, doubts and confusions creep into it. We have only one past and only one present but future has many possibilities. Among these numerous possibilities, futurology analyses which one is most probable. These are the facts on futurology. While analyzing the range of study and application, we see an astonishing diversity.

Futurology plays its role in the fields of transportation, communication, energy, environmental protection, fuels, food, clothing, housing, health, religion, law, machinery, computers, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, information science and so goes the list....
Futurology studies are ideal at the university level. Opportunities for study are present in universities of countries like The U.S, Russia, Japan, England, germany, france, india, Poland, Austria etc. Courses are offered in subtopics like: Scientific extrapolation, Intelligent guess, Statistical probability approach, Technological forecasting, Technology assessment, Futuristic sociology, Futuristic economics, Science - fiction, etc.

Dream...
The key to success in a career in futurology is the power of dreaming. Dreams are the building blocks of futurological studies. Cars running on solar energy, telephones that send and receive 3d images (holographic telephones), vehicles and houses controlled by computers, and much more were built upon dreams. So don't underestimate the power of dreams. And Futurology is the study on dreams.
