New York Times crowd-sources futuring on computer technology

The New York Times is crowd-sourcing the projection of futures for computing. The NYT has set up an interactive timeline that allows readers to take part in a futuring activity on the computer technologies. The feature was published early in December, 2011, and the ability to add new predictions and vote on predictions is now closed. Readers can, however, still project the times that they think the technologies and developments being projected will be realized. This could be an indication of the emergence of some interesting new methods for futuring.
