See also the "Global Trends 2010" and "Global Trends 2015" reports to
compare, contrast, and track the changes of this particular consensus
future model.

>From the NIC 2020 Project page:

"Significantly, the NIC 2020 Project employed information technology
and analytic tools unavailable in earlier NIC efforts. We created an
interactive Web site which contained several tools including a
"hands-on" computer simulation that allows novice and expert alike to
develop their own scenarios. This "International Futures" model is now
available to the public to explore."
