Politico Magazine asked 15 other big thinkers and doers for their ideas of what will change the world the most in the next 15 years. We got back lots of inspiration—from the transformative power of opening up national borders to the commercialization of the human genome—and one dyspeptic dissenter. Read on, for a sense of the possible in the world of 2030.

Would you agree with their predictions? What would surveillance be like in 2030? Would we have any freedoms at all, any privacy?

In the US, maybe. I had a friend building US cells towers in the late 90s and he actually got fired for sexting with his secretary (her jealous ex ratted them out and HR inspected their phones and found the evidence). But besides his unique circumstances, he told me texting was already a big deal in europe and that the US was just way behind the times. If texting was big, then so were cells.
