I propose a sister discipline to #futurology called #historology where instead of predicting the future, we predict things that happened in the past.

Like, "In the 2010s and 2020s, #smartphones will track every call we make, every message we send, every conversation we have and with whom. What we buy, our location in realtime, every website we visit. This will make private companies the greatest intelligence gathering entities in history, beyond the wildest dreams of the #nsa #mi6 or #kgb"
