THE FUTURIST
 "We know what we are, but we
know not what we may
become"
- William Shakespeare
A Future Timeline for Economics
 2008-09 :
A severe US recession and global slowdown still results in global
economic growth falling no lower than 3% a year. Negative growth
for world GDP, which has not happened since 1973, is not a serious
possibility, even though the US and Europe experience almost no
GDP growth during this period.
The world GDP growth rate trend line resides at growth of 4.5% a year.

 2010 :
World GDP growth rebounds strongly to 5% a year, despite high oil
prices. More than 3 billion people now live in emerging economies
growing at over 6% a year. More than 80 countries, including China,
have achieved a Human Development Index of 0.800 or higher,
classifying them as developed countries.
 2011 : Over 2 billion people have access to unlimited
broadband Internet service at speeds greater than 1
mbps, a majority of them receiving it through
their wireless phone/handheld device.

 2013 : Many single-family homes in the US, particularly in

California, are still priced below the levels they reached at
the peak in 2006, as predicted in early 2006 on THE
FUTURIST. If one adjusts for cost of capital over this
period, many California homes have corrected
their valuations by as much as 50%.
• 2014 :
The positive deflationary economic forces
introduced by the Impact of computing are
now large and pervasive enough to generate
mainstream attention.  The semiconductor and
storage industries combined exceed $800
Billion in size, up from $450 Billion in 2008. 
The typical US household is now spending
$2500 a year on semiconductors, storage, and
other items with rapidly deflating prices per
fixed performance.  Of course, the items
purchased for $2500 in 2014 can be
