mirar hacia atrás o restrospectivamente / mirar hacia el futuro

Explanation:
look forward
(v.) = mirar hacia el futuro
Ex: So, at the beginning of the 21st century, libraries in the UK are looking forward again, with confidence and pride in the vital role they play.

look back = volver la vista atrás, mirar hacia atrás, pensar en el pasado
Ex: In the long run, electronic uinformation technology will very likely have important effects, but many of the changes will be so gradual as to be unnoticeable to those experiencing them until they look back.
