The Future in 5 Minutes
Consider these predictions. They’re all based on identifiable trends. Ask yourself how this affects you, your business, and your business future:
- In 10 years, the number one English-speaking country in the world will be China.
- By 2011, 90% of all the engineers in the world will live in Asia.
- In 20 years, two thirds of the world’s middle class will live in India and China. That will be 1.15 billion people, an increase from 430 million in 2000.
- The Chinese instant messenger system QQ has more than 342 million users.
This five-minute video puts a quiet, almost peaceful, musical background behind a series of startling Futures Group predictions of drastic change coming soon to a world near you.

Thanks for a great eye-opener this morning!
