human-future interaction would be the art and science of effectively and ethically communicating research, forecasts, and scenarios about trends and potential futures. Within the consumer technology sphere, human-computer interaction has become the framework that links the capabilities of technology, the behaviors of users, and the goals of designers and developers. These 3 constituents have very similar counterparts in futures work, and human-future interaction should serve much the same role--connecting the capabilities of design tools and media formats with the strategic needs of users, shaped by the goals and insights of researchers and forecasters.
