New MoD
Strategic Report Extends Vision to 2040
In
2006, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense published the
DCDC
Strategic Trends 2007-2036
report, outlining possible scenarios
for technology, society and world
politics. Among other issues, the
2006 report accurately envisioned a
"revolutionary middle class" that
would revolt against economic
hardship and burdens of debt, and
described a future population implanted
with brain chips. A new
report from the MoD titled
Global Strategic Trends - Out to 2040
was published in February of this year, and extends the Ministry's
strategic vision to 2040.
