How to predict the future
Posted on 07. Dec, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Uncategorized
Remember that TV show that used to be on in the 80′s called Beyond 2000?
Yeah – it was full of wild predictions of the future. Being Australian, they used to focus a lot on farming and new methods of drinking beer, but it was entertaining none the less.
But now – 20 year’s since Buck Rogers was scheduled to find new life forms on planet earth and zap them with a white, stylish lazer gun, the future has been neatly wrapped and packaged for your ease of use and convenience in a new meme called Future Scanner.
It’s still in a testing phase, but the site tags stories from around the world that have elements of future predictions and pops them onto a navigable site, which can have you future forecasting for a couple of hours at a time.
For example, in 2010 South Africa will not only be hosting the FIFA World cup, but an Australian town will run entirely on solar power, personal jets will be a big thing and Carbon Nanotubes will replace silicone (your guess is as good as ours on that one).
