The Seven Revolutions

The concept of The Seven Revolutions was recently introduced to me and I felt inclined to share my thoughts on the subject. The idea is actually quite fascinating; the revolutions involve the trends which are likely to be drastically altered over the next 20 years. Known as the "Seven Revolutions Initiative", this study, conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), aims at determining which global trends would experience great amounts of change over 20 years. Erik Peterson, the senior vice president for CSIS, has since become a recognized figurehead for this effort to project and identify the global trends of 2025. According to the study by CSIS, the seven areas which will experience the most revolutionary change are:

Technology
Population
Resource Management
Knowledge
Economic Integration
Conflict
Governance

After reading an article which defines the reasoning behind every trend, it would be safe to assume that these trends will certainly undergo major changes over the coming 20 years. Personally, however, I believe that technology will be one of the most affected trends on the list.
