And if one day someone could predict the future?

If anyone could predict the future, would certainly have one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Not that the prediction itself was a weapon, but what could be done with the knowledge of the future, would have unpredictable consequences for humanity.

Who does not remember Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) at the wheel of the legendary DeLorean, a time machine built by Doctor Emmett Brown in the movie Back to the Future (Back to the Future)?

First with a journey to the past, where he meets his parents after a trip to the future to address some situations that would lead to the disappearance of the surname McFly, and Marty buys a sports almanac in order to place bets on the results contained in that almanac , when he returned to the year 1985. We were in 1985!

Any one of the sequelae of these trips turned out to be disastrous, because when Marty returned to the past, almost committed to its existence, and to visit the future, was forced to make numerous trips to get remedy the situation caused by time travel .

In this case, Google allows us these "trips", but without the complications of the film.

For those who have not yet realized, is the Google Insights for Search I am talking about.

With a concept close to the movie Back to the future, Google Insights for Search allows us to "travel" to the future, based on past knowledge and thus, can make use of future trends.

Complicated? Not really.

Obviously not an exact science, but it is certainly a great help when we are drafting a strategy, since it allows us to understand the market trends.

You see here an example of Google . This case, this example could help in decision making of an automaker, or when the construction of a new vehicle or even when built, when he wanted the report, could see what features should be noted, based a source that we consider most reliable, after all these are the preferences of consumers themselves revealed through the research done on the Internet (Google).

Try it yourselves with your business and tell me how to run.
