In July 2007, Popular Science launched PPX, the Popular Science Predictions EXchange. Here, people could place virtual bets as to what the next innovations in technology, the environment and science would be. The system of the PPX is based on the ability of wagers to predict the future. Bets include whether Facebook would have an IPO by 2008, the launch of a touchscreen iPod and whether China's eco-city, Dongtan would be inhabited by 2010. So far, the touchscreen iPod has proved the ability of the exchange to predict technology trends.
