      ab: An article excerpted from a forthcoming report entitled 55 Trends Shaping Tomorrow's World. For over 40 years, Forecasting International has carried out an ongoing study of the forces changing the world. One of the benefits of tracking major trends over such a long period is that it is normally possible to see whether sudden shifts are indicators of seismic transitions or just temporary anomalies or fads. This has made it possible for researchers to foresee many specific developments in fields ranging from terrorist studies to the future of commercial laundries. The writers discuss the trends that will influence business, government, and consumers in the future.
