If someone could tell what the future held, I should think you would certainly be curious to know about it. However, would you believe what you heard? When I was in college, a guest professor gave a lecture on the future. The year was 1977 and he spoke about things that seemed hard to imagine could come to pass. I remember some of his predictions and the ones that stood out are because they came to fruition.
The days of the traditional supermarket would shift. He predicted mega-box stores, forecasting that it would be like shopping in a warehouse and buying items in bulk. In addition, smaller, specialty grocery stores would be introduced. These would be higher-end products for niche markets—most likely health foods or specialty items.
