Predictions Database
Here's a fun research tool. Imagining the Internet is a project of Elon University and the Pew Internet and American Life Project. They've collected predictions about the Internet made from 1990 - 1995 by a thousand people in positions to know what they were talking about. The remarks are catalogued in a database with search capabilities including: Predictor's Name; Topic; Subtopic; Date of Prediction; Date of Publication; Publication Title; Medium of Prediction; Author of Publication; Article or Chapter Title; Page or URL. There's also a searchable database with brief biographies of the predictors. If you write about communication and/or the 'net, this one's a keeper. They're doing it again, and you can participate. This time the predictions are anonymous, still interesting but less useful.
