In 2064 What Will The World Be Like?

50 years from now what kind of world will we have? It is safe to say that many current problems will be solved, or will solve themselves, and new ones will be front page news (assuming newspapers are still around). Minor territorial disputes in Asia may be resolved peacefully, or military action may have altered the map. Of interest is Taiwan which has remained independent since 1949. Recent murmurs from the PRC indicate that this situation can not continue indefinitely. Will the PRC let time sort out the situation, or will direct action be taken? Great powers are rising in Asia, and India will certainly pull itself together much the same way Japan and China have done. Pakistan remains an enigma, for it often appears more a collection of tribal areas than a sovereign nation. The map of the Middle East is right now being re-drawn. Of particular interest is Iran, a nation yet to come into its own in the 21st century. But surely Iran will be a major player in this century, if not in the first half, then surely in the second half. A peaceful, prosperous and powerful Iran could be a great force for stability in its neighborhood. Well, we will just have to wait and see what happens in 50 years, or maybe the seeds are being sown now, and a careful scrutiny can give us some inklings of things to come. What do you think?
