Introduction

Looking into the future at the decade 2020 I will uncover how society will have changed and the type of world we will be living in.

Firstly I will look into society as a whole, looking at the changes in economy. I will focus on not only the factors such as global warming and pollution but the issues of immigration and how this will change society along with the possibility of a shift of power to the east.

I have also chosen to look at health and how an obesity epidemic will unfold and how the advances in technology will affect treatment for diseases and our choices on cosmetic looks and at birth. I would also like to look at how strong we will be and to what extent all the other factors have on our mental health and general emotional well being.

Thirdly I will focus on new technology, not only looking at new inventions but also how the government will control them and how we obtain access for example security and tracking. I am also particularly interested in Nano technology and what this will bring.

I will also turn to the politics of our future; particularly focusing on what the government will have control over and to what extent this has on our personal interests and privacy. I will also look like how tax will change and whether new taxes could be in force.

Finally I will considered climate change and what the weather will be like and how this could affect tourism and the rest of the world. Also I would like to look into new energy sources and the problem and possible solutions.
