This chapter proposes an approach that treats future as an analytical tool that emerges in the context of ethnographic work. This involves a concept of future that is produced as the outcome of a mutual engagement between the ethnographer on the one hand, and on the other the people and things who are part of our ethnographic worlds. The chapter discusses how we came to conceptualize the future on the terms of technology developers and designers, in a way that is rooted in anthropology, but empirically informed and interdisciplinary in scope. The concept of the quality of time is based on Durkheiminan notions of social time and personal time, which distinguishes between subjective and collective mental perceptions of time. The chapter approaches the notion of futures ethnographically, as a lived category that should not be pre-configured
