As children, most of us had vivid imaginations. As we get older, we tend to forego thinking about the future in the abstract and, instead, prefer to think in terms of facts and hard numbers. This is bad, according to AVweb’s Howard Fried.

Howard shows how using our imagination helps us anticipate our next move and ensures a likely and safe outcome to our next flight.
