In 1988, a futurist envisioned Israel in 2025. Some of his predictions were spot-on

In 1988, futurist Dr. Alan Price published a book imagining what Israel might look like in 2025, blending research with creative speculation. Price envisioned technological advancements such as smart homes, widespread consumer electronics, and even voice-activated shopping, many of which have become reality. He also predicted major geopolitical shifts and social changes, some accurate and others far-fetched, including lunar colonies and dramatic regional realignments. While Price's optimism about Israel's technological and economic future was largely justified, his son reflects that the country's political challenges and recent crises would have deeply saddened him. Despite missed predictions, Price's hopeful vision stands in contrast to more pessimistic forecasts, emphasizing the potential for progress and resilience.
