The Top Ten Forecasts from the World Future Society
Shout out to my colleagues up the road at the World Future Society. Have a look at their annual top ten list of forecasts. I do not agree with all of these, but they are provocative, which is the whole point. 
The Top Ten:
1. Everything you say and do will be recorded by 2030.
2. Bioviolence will become a greater threat as the technology becomes more accessible.
3. The car’s days as king of the road may soon be over.
4. Careers, and the college majors for preparing for them, are becoming more specialized.
5. There may not be world law in the foreseeable future, but the world’s legal systems will be networked.
6. Professional knowledge will become obsolete almost as quickly as it’s acquired. An individual’s professional knowledge is becoming outdated at a much faster rate than ever before.
7. The race for biomedical and genetic enhancement will-in the twenty-first century-be what the space race was in the previous century.
8. Urbanization will hit 60% by 2030.
9. The Middle East will become more secular while religious influence in China will grow.
10. Access to electricity will reach 83% of the world by 2030.
