Are there any mental hacks or good approximations to tackle non-linear thinking for strategic product planning?

Are there any mental hacks or good approximations to tackle non-linear thinking as humans so we can easier embrace the myriad technological possibilities we face in present and future planning?

To be more precise, I was thinking of observations like Moore's Law that describes that an improvement of a technology makes it cheaper over time.

Such observations allow the following question during the discovery phase for a product: What if there were [e.g. VR glasses (now still about 500€)] in [e.g. every household], how would your product fit in [e.g. a family's daily routine]?

Do you know about other technological advancements or socio-technological trends that need simpler descriptions to consider them in strategic product plannings?
