Prediction(预言) has always been a serious business. In the old days, astrologers(星占学家) were employed(从事于)to predict the future. Today futurologists(未来学家) make scientifically-based predictions which are taken seriously. Basically, the methods used in the past and those used today are similar. You look at what is happening at the present and then project(设想) into the future.
