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?

1963'er here too, and you are pretty much spot on. What continues to boggle my mind is the gnat-like memories of the general population. Since I have been "aware" of things like politics and such, it seems that we play the same record over and over and over. The wars, the greed, the politics, the privacy... this list goes on and on. Each one with almost exact historic examples of how the rich get richer, protected by govt, pushed on the unwashed masses, and how each and every freakin time within a few months its like no one remembers the last time they got screwed. Yes, Ive become a cynical old bastard.
