In the early 1990's a technology was created in which a series of "spiders" or pre-programed search bots scanned the internet searching for key words. These bots scanned the web at incredible speeds, largely targeting blog sites, forums and other such social sites. When these bots found key words they would take a sample of data surrounding the key word and bring it back to a central filter where these data "snapshots" were used to make predictions about marketing trends and other such economical shifts.
Recently, this technology; widely referred to as "The Web Bot Project" has been used to make a great deal of debatably accurate predictions about human society as a whole.
Some predictions the Web Bot has made include:
Predictions made toward a military background in the Washington D.C. Sniper spree Loose references to the Spaceshuttle Colombia tragedy References were made to Vice President Dick Cheney, involving a gun shot wounding A major event was predicted in the time period days around the 9/11 attacks. McCain would end his campaign in September 2008 for health reasons (which turned out to be true for one week, but for the health of the economy not his own) Louisiana would experience an "electrifying" water experience that will drive 300000 people away from shore (Hurricane Rita did this, however the post-event comments was how "shockingly fast" the water rose in the city.) As noted in the last two predictions above, the Web Bots are good at identifying events but sometimes the words don't match what actually occurs and thus require careful interpretation.
