# Into Tomorrow By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2023-04-21 Analytics is useful for developing forecasts. In some ways, this is like seeing into the future. What will tomorrow be like? We look to weather forecasts to inform our selection of clothes; we look to analysts to inform our business decisions. As has been stated multiple times in these posts, all models are wrong; some are useful. Looking into tomorrow, it seems that the models will become more accurate…but still wrong. Will we make better decisions? An interesting human tendency is to follow models when we shouldn’t and not follow them when we should. Human agency is great…until it isn’t. The connection between humans and machines, minds and models, is complex. We are still figuring it out. As we progress into tomorrow perhaps we will come to better understanding of working towards improvement rather than simply for profit. The model forecast associated with a focus on profit is continued fear and degradation for most and opulence for a few. #### Related Items [[Analytics]] [[Forecasting]] [[Agency]] [[Models]] [[Progress]]
