I read that no one can predict the future and that this fact alone makes it a worthwhile endeavor. The simple act of trying to predict the future made future predictions much better at making estimated guesses over time than those who did not. It's a low-risk proposition regardless, people don't necessarily remember and its such a fun game to play. That said when it comes to consulting I do the research. This process is something that Elon Musk refers to as the "Recursive Y." We know X is going to happen, we can therefore afford to be liberal with our predictions on the Y. Macro economics is complex and hard to predict after all.

1. Megatrends are gradual and deep-set
trajectories of change that will at some point
reshape the business
and policy environment. They typically have a
decadal timeframe (e.g. 10-20 years) and occur
at the intersection of multiple trends.

3. CAN WE MAKE SOME ACCURATE PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE
FUTURE OF GOVERNMENTS?
Probably not “accurate” ones, but lets have a go based on
movements in technology.
4. Problem:
What should we focus on?
The rate of ground breaking innovations in science and tech is
increasing. This indicates that we are now aware of the next
megatrends.
While highly speculative, research indicates seven core drivers that
deserve closer inspection and the industries they are likely to effect.
Two terms define time, scope and potential impact:
Short Term. A Pure Play Disruption tends to impact an industry by
30% and establish globally between 1 to 5 years.
Long Term. A Megatrend may develop gradually, in time reshaping
the dynamics of the business and policy environment. Global shapers
5 to 20 years cadence.
5. Current State
Monetary Political Scale
Global Spectrum
A combination of emerging forces
threaten to create a perfect storm of
larger, faster and seemingly sci-fi
technology impacts.
This presents complexity of a scale
that economies have never been
exposed to. It appears that the
lessons of the past may not be
transferable to the challenges of the
future.

5 step theorietical process toward the goal of “back
of mind” personal identification. Internet security is
complex. Given that personal identification is one of
the largest in IT it will require a large, possibly
complex, graduated solution strategy
PERSONAL BLOCKCHAIN
In compliment of, or to gradually replace, RealMe, a decentralized
network of a partially permissioned blockchain could provide an initial
“safer” state.
TIME STAMP RANDOM IDENTIFIER
There are numerous world clocks other than time zones. A
“tumbler” is a tool which can allocate nodes of a blockchain to a
“tumbled” identification tool. Internet clocks calculate network
protocols to a millionith of a second. IPV6 will have to increase
this.
NEXUS IDENTIFICATION
THEORY: Nexus have created an app that can map rooms.
Heat identifiers and infared trackers are commercially
available. If partial permissioned blockchain credibility is
established a personal chain can enable unique gait identifiers
to “recognise.”
PROJECT “SOLI”
TESTING: Google is currently testing a camera that can
“recognise” physical movements. The future of screenless
interactive devices has started, and this may create opportunities
in innovation for personal identification.
QUANTUM & ORGANIC
MARKET TESTING: IBM and Google have Quantum computers in testing
and development. Quantum states enable data recognition through vast
heat maps. They operate in Qubits, which can be either 1, or 2, or 1 and 2
simultaneously.

2016 The ripest fruit available for disruption:
As the tech companies are about to take over
the transport industry, so to will they dominate
the monetary system. Banks will have to
diversify into new markets. ASB will compete
with Amazon and Google.What next?
Analysis of abc.xyz: Google’s roll out strategy
includes internet services globally and all
renewable energy. The company that has
mapped Earth, The Moon and Mars now has
its sights firmly set on The Sun.
What are the implications for Government?
01 Introduction to Digital
A digital currency may be introduced that pays
for goods and services that benefit Govt and
community.
02 Accelerate Partial Privitization
Medical/Police/almost all services: Partial
privatization models allow for efficiencies and
gradually move from tax reliance to income. NZ
has been moving this way since the 80’s.
03 Regional Currencies
Regions may compete for competitive advantage
and private investment through the introduction
of potentially public listed currencies.
04 Sector
Private sector currency creation. Potential for
confusion and disaggregation short term,
stabilization and financial independence long
term.
05 Community
Communities may create strategic alliances with
communities in other countries stabilizing trade
and international relationships.
