Abstract

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it, but much the same can be said of those who fail to prepare for the future. In this chapter, both the long and short view of the future are taken by our panel of contributors: short term outlooks often revolve around the media titans of today—GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook. Amazon, Microsoft), which according to Benhamou, cannot be ignored. Long term outlooks include both positivity—Curien—and pessimism, via Bernisson. Of course, these forecasting exercises will  only meet reality halfway. The future is as unpredictable as the past is unbelievable.
