Forbes has listed a number of events that could happen over the next 10 years in the field of politics, energy, medicine, finance, society and technology. The publication asked its staff and contributors to forecast some of the "noteworthy events" till 2020.
"A vision of the coming decade sketched from real data, projections and facts whenever possible -- though we''ve injected a dose of rigorous science fiction to fill the gaps," Forbes said about its special 2020 report called ''What Happens Next -- Our Look Ahead''. Another forecast in the field of finance and economics is of fraudster Bernard Madoff''s death in his prison cell in 2011.
The convicted Ponzi-scheme perpetrator is found hanging in his cell and "prison officials will not rule out foul play," according to the Forbes forecast. "Futurism favours the bold.
Look more than 30 years ahead.
and critics will forgive your inaccuracies.
We''ve attempted a thought experiment with far tougher standards: predicting the future that''s just around the corner," Forbes said. In 2012, social networking site Facebook debuts on NASDAQ. Its IPOs value USD 40 billion and founder Mark Zuckerberg becomes the first 20-something who is worth USD 10 billion-plus.
Then by 2020, Wal-mart employs five million people worldwide and its sales pass the one trillion dollar mark. The company "cites successful India and Brazil expansions" for the landmark.
In 2017, Harvard endowment doubles in seven years to USD 50 billion. It offers free tuition to lure top students from China.
The US job scene finally improves in 2018 as unemployment drops below seven per cent and worst of quadruple-dip recession is likely over, Forbes predicts. PTI YAS KIM AKJ.
