The UW Today published a brief article about the Principles of Future-proofing on November 4th, 2014.  As the states, “You can’t predict the future, but you can prepare for it.”  And that has been the goal of Brian Rich, the author of the 10 Principles of Future-Proofing.  The UW Today article summarizes an interview with Rich about future-proofing.  See the full article here.
