As always, futurists look to harness a vision of the future and not outright, do or facilitate predictions.  The latest push for creating predictions comes with the data mining from business giants such as Oracle and IBM who are using their huge data centers and processing capabilities to form “predictive analytics,” different forms of analysis such as real-time used to predict everything from Internet traffic flow to specific data sales points to retail locations interaction.

Computer simulations have long been used to understand behavior of all types of systems.   Using scenarios carved with specific rules, simulations of this kind can give us insight into how we see the environment around us.  Understanding inequality and its adverse effects on human population is now being explored with simulations, and the thoughts of egalitarian versus hierarchical societies will be getting more clear with strict data sensed through this technology.
