People have called me a futurist, even a visionary. They marvel at how Nine Shift can accurately predict the future. Now I will reveal my secret. So you too can predict the future.
Here's the secret: every year right about now I go to the public library and find out what happened 100 years ago in the upcoming year. Then I predict the same thing will happen again 100 years later.
Having just read all about the year 1909, you can now go ahead and ask me about what will happen in 2009. As far as 2009 is concerned, I've been there, done that.

How did you decide on your arbitrary seeming number of 100 years? Or is that a intentional number?

Thanks for the question Terry.
1. One or more people/things have already been the best of the 21st century.
2. The whole big thing about '09 is looking toward the turning point of 1-1-10 and how things will change in the next decade as we rebuild the infrastructure for the new century.
3. We're resting after a huge '08 (both centuries)
4. Us Obama-ites are wondering whether he will be Taft (not moving fast enough) or Wilson (first president who understands the new century).
