The World Future Society also publishes The Futurist magazine.Every year it examines developments in technology and other areas to predict the future.The magazine released the top ten predictions from the Outlook 2011report.
Several of the predictions dealt with technology.The report said Internet search engines will soon include both text and spoken results.It said television broadcasts and other recordings could be gathered using programs developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis.
Outlook 2011also examined refuse collection.It said industrial nations will send much more waste to developing countries.This will cause protests in those countries.In about fifteen years,developing countries will stop accepting foreign waste.This will force industrial nations to develop better waste-to-energy programs and recycling technologies.
