The video below displays a moving timeline, mapping out key communications developments since the 1950s, it also includes various other, political, social, economic and technological trends. This timeline has enabled me to begin to consider what the future would be like if current trends were followed. I have then made a series of predictions, the most interesting one for me personally is that people will begin to see second life as the new 'land of plenty' much the way people saw America in the past. As prices are still exceptionally low and its economy is booming people will begin to see migration as a viable option.
