Think of the different views and details you have to attend to if you have ever flown as a passenger, or indeed as a pilot from when you get in the plane and taxi on the runway, you take off, and then you climb steadily up in the air until you look down at the landscape (or seascape) and it looks more like Legoland from up high at 10,000m.
One of the elements in futuring, is to understand at which point into the future we are looking towards. In our task we are looking towards the year 2100. That is 75 years from now!
