Future Scanner: Digg clone predicts the future

Every day new Digg clones appear on the Internet, but very few of them deserve attention. The Future Scanner site definitely stands out from the crowd. It was created to ... predict the future through voting.

This makes sense: history has repeatedly shown that it is often those inventions that are supposed to be the most popular, ideas of which are in the air, which are described in science fiction literature, are often implemented. The work of scientists is not subject to random lot, but to the collective unconscious of humanity. For example, choosing the themes of their scientific work, future scientists can read science fiction works and predictions of the future, such as on the Future Scanner website.

Future Scanner sets the task not so much to determine the future, but rather to find it. Stories are structured by year and by subject category (biotechnology, culture, government, etc.). The system approach allows you to call this resource the first full-fledged web platform on the Internet to explore the future.
