The history of devices claiming to predict the future is rich and diverse, reflecting humanity's enduring fascination with divination and the desire to gain insights into the unknown. Ancient civilizations, from the Chinese with their oracle bones to the Greeks and their use of oracles, employed various methods to seek guidance. In the medieval period, tools like the astrolabe and geomantic charts were popular for divination purposes. The Renaissance saw the rise of tarot cards and crystal balls as instruments for fortune-telling. The 19th century witnessed the advent of spiritualism, with mediums using tools like planchettes and Ouija boards to communicate with the spirit world. In the modern era, technological advancements have given rise to online tarot readings and digital oracles. Throughout history, these devices have served as both mystical and entertainment tools, offering glimpses into the future and providing a lens through which people have sought to navigate the uncertainties of life.
