Cliff High's WebBot project is one of the most interesting forecasting studies around at the moment. In a nutshell he has developed software that monitors the world's internet babble to identify trends that are then cross-refenced to hard data to develop forecasts in global events. Though by no means 100% accurate, WebBot is right twice as often as dictated by chance, and when it is right it is often spectacularly right.
In this video Cliff explains more about the project, and makes some startling forecasts for the next 18 months to three years.
Foremost is the rapid development of a global food crisis. With food reserves at historically low values, and the predicted crash of supply of all 5 of the world's major grains, this one is likely to be felt by all of us.
So don't sit on your hands, get growing people! A quick and easy way to grow heaps of vegetables is ecological gardening.
For Cliff's other predictions view the whole series... it is well worth it!
