The latest MIT Technology Review poll:
In the year 2050, who will be the world leader in technology? http://www.technologyreview.com/index.asp#poll
The results so far:
United States 25.2% India 23.5% China 20.6% no clear leader 12.6% European Union 6.6% Japan 5.9% Israel 2.3% other 2.2% Russia 1.1%
Personally I think that what this poll registers is common perceptions about the current circumstances and trends. It is a long way to 2050.
We have been seeing an accelerating rate of technological progress, with unexpected utilization of many of its secondary products. We have also been seeing a mounting pressure on the sovereign State by the market forces; a lot of sociopolitical reclustering is going to happen.
