Jack Powers left a comment on my recent Red Herrings post. His comment linked to some scenarios on the International Informatics Institute site (http://in3.org/), which in turn made me aware of his blog, in which the most recent post, Healthcare NBIC, also links to the two scenario sets Jack referenced. This is a very brief post, but the scenarios make fascinating reading. Jack doesn't post very often in the blog, but the in3.org site looks very active and has a lot of useful information and insights.
