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?

    communications technology = terrorism // the spread of western culture due to increasing communication technology capabilities caused a increase in the reach and volume of western media resulting in an alarmist reaction in the most extreme conservative religious group which lead to an attack on western culture. This lead to the leaders of the west passing laws to allow for the transforming the liberal communications technologies into extremist-conservative tools of terrorism to terrorize the terrorists with, eg pat riot act and rise of ns a. so communication technology lead to terrorism and now is terrorism, weird.
