Where past predictions meet present reality. Exploring the beautiful history of what we thought would happen.
Active predictions tracked through our instruments, measured with care and presented with the precision of vintage probability science.
Global renewable energy adoption will exceed 45% of total generation by 2030.
Tracked since 2022Vertical farming will supply 15% of urban fresh produce in major cities.
Tracked since 2023Over 80% of knowledge workers will use AI tools daily by 2028.
Tracked since 2024Fascinating predictions from the past. Some prescient, some wildly optimistic, all beautifully human in their ambition.
Popular Science predicted personal flying vehicles would be commonplace within two decades. Confidence at the time was remarkably high.
Prediction: MissedXerox PARC researchers envisioned computers in every home with graphical interfaces. A prediction that proved remarkably accurate.
Prediction: AccurateBusiness futurists declared physical documents would vanish by 2010. Reality proved far more complicated than the prediction suggested.
Prediction: PartialOur toolkit for tracking and evaluating predictions, inspired by the beautiful measurement instruments of the past century.
Multi-axis tracking of prediction confidence across different evidence dimensions.
Visualizing prediction accuracy trends over time with vintage waveform analysis.
Counting down to prediction deadlines with a mechanical precision that honors the tradition.
Distribution curves showing how confidence in a prediction shifts as evidence accumulates.
Yesang is a research archive and living instrument for tracking humanity's expectations. From the optimistic promises of space-age futurists to the careful projections of modern climate scientists, prediction is deeply human.
We believe that studying what we expected reveals as much about who we are as studying what actually happened. Every prediction is a time capsule of hope, fear, knowledge, and ambition.
Our instruments are inspired by the beautiful measurement tools of the 20th century: the analog meter, the oscilloscope, the probability chart. We present data not as cold calculation, but as the warm, imperfect, deeply human practice it has always been.
