Researching the Future, based on Delphi Methodology

Thinking about the future for the present activities and steps is essential for the human being. Thoughtless reaction towards the future is probable, while acting is impossible, as it necessitates prediction. Henceforth, the future images (aims, destinations, hopes, concerns, and wishes) are the precedents of the present activities. Therefore, future could be formed and verified, designed, and formed through aim-oriented activities. To act wisely, one should be aware of the consequences of himself and others’ paces. Other reactions and uncontrollable should also be scrutinized. These results manifest themselves merely in the future. Henceforth, people not only attempt to comprehend the current coincidences, but they try to identify the probable occurrences or the potential happenings that might take place in specific situations in the future. Through these hypothetical verifications, the individuals verify their present situation, pursue their activities, and pass through the material and social time and space bedrock.
