Life in the twenty-first century

The World Future Society is a group of people from more than 80 countries who are interested in how modern technology is making our world better, and who write reports about how it will change our lives.                                                                                                                                             The things that we will be able to do in the twenty-first century (since the year 2000) should help us live better lives in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just some of them, put into five groups.

By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work from home for a company in a different country by using the Internet.

Money

Worldwide e-business will become even more successful with online shops that sell special products for each person, which will be brought to their house the next day.

Environment
