SA NE IMAGINAM O LUME A ANULUI 2025,IN CARE CHINA ESTE DETASAT, CEA MAI MARE PUTERE A LUMII. Tomorrow’s world? Men on Mars and King William on the throne – Britons’ predictions for 2025

The future King William V? Nearly half of those surveyed believe Prince William will be the monarch in 2025

Imaginati-va o lume in care China este, detasat, cea mai mare putere mondiala, astronautii europeni si americani au infiintat deja o infloritoare colonie pe planeta Marte, iar viata politica a Europei este dominata de un nou partid politic, un sincretism intre social-democratie si liberalism. Oare asa va arata lumea in anul 2025?

Nu stim cu siguranta raspunsul la aceasta intrebare; cert este faptul ca aproximativ 100.000 de britanici cred cu tarie ca aceste predictii se vor adeveri in urmatorii 15 ani. Aceasta este concluzia unui masiv studiu, bazat pe un sondaj ale carui rezultate au fost date recent publicitatii.

In vreme ce peste 50% dintre britanici cred ca printul William va fi incoronat rege al Angliei, unul din sase britanici sunt convinsi ca, pana in anul 2025, monarhia va fi abolita. De asemenea, 60% dintre cetatenii Regatului Unit sunt de parere ca China va fi superputerea mondiala care va conduce destinul omenirii, in vreme ce 25% dintre englezi sunt de parere ca viata politica a Uniunii Europene se va schimba radical prin aparitia unui nou partid politic.

Cei mai optimisti dintre englezi – 5% – cred ca pana in 2025 vacantele pe Marte vor deveni o banalitate, in vreme ce unul din 10 britanici este de parere ca o colonie permanenta pe Planeta Rosie va deveni posibila in urmatorii 15 ani. Mai mult de jumatate dintre cei chestionati sunt de parere ca televiziunea clasica isi va da obstescul sfarsit si ca vor urmari show-urile preferate pe internet; in vreme ce 2 treimi cred ca operatiile estetice vor ajunge niste interventii ieftine si obisnuite, la care va apela oricine.

Sondajul a fost realizat cu ocazia celei de-a 15-a aniversari a companiei MSN UK.

Tomorrow’s world? Men on Mars and King William on the throne – Britons’ predictions for 2025

31st December 2010

The future King William V? Nearly half of those surveyed believe Prince William will be the monarch in 2025

Imagine waking up to a world where China is the world’s leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK.

Well this could be the reality in 15 years if some of the predictions of 100,000 Britons are correct.

The massive survey asked the men and women of the UK how they pictured the world in 2025.

Nearly half believe Prince William will bypass Prince Charles to be crowned King of England although one in six think the monarchy will have been abolished.

On the world stage 60 per cent think China is set to become the world’s leading superpower, while a third of us think Great Britain will be made up of four self-governed countries.

A quarter of those polled believe a new party will form the Government in 2025 although the same proportion think that Labour will be back in power.

Further afield four per cent are optimistic there will be a permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a colony of humans to be living in space.

Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and bounds.

More than half questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their favourite shows via TV sets hooked up to the internet.

Two-thirds believe cosmetic surgery will have become common place and one in six think we will look after own own health using apps and gadgets rather than relying on the doctor.

Life on Mars? Four per cent think we will be roaming the Red Planet in 2025. Researchers are hoping this prediction is correct - they tested spacesuits on a simulated Mars surface mission earlier this year in MoscowLife on Mars?

Brad Pitt will be 62 in 2025 while Angelina Jolie will be 50. But will they have married and will they still be together

Brad Pitt will be 62 in 2025 while Angelina Jolie will be 50. But will they have married and still be together?

We will certainly need to if a quarter of Britons are right in predicting the NHS will no longer exist in 2025.

It’s also not good news for those in their fifties as three-quarters are confident the retirement age will have risen to 70 by the time they reach pensionable age. One in five even speculate we will have to work up to the age of 75.

Still they may count themselves lucky still having a job as half believe unemployment will reach its highest ever level by the quarter century mark.

Doom and gloom

But at least we can distract ourselves with the daily comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more than half think that ‘celebrity’ will be a registered profession.

The Pulse of the Nation survey was carried out to mark MSN’s 15 year anniversary.

Matt Ball, editor-in-chief at MSN UK, said: ‘When MSN launched Toy Story came out and was the first completely computer generated film, John Major was Prime Minister and Barings bank collapsed.

‘British life has changed remarkably since then. The depth and breadth of insight from our research demonstrates how passionate and opinionated people are about life in the UK.’

DEMISIONARII DE LA WIKILEAKS DAU DRUMUL LUNI LA SITEUL OPEN LEAKSEx-WikiLeakers to Launch Rival Site

Luni apare siteul OpenLeaks construit din demisionarii de la WikiLeaks. Assange nu a mai fost agreat de angajatii sai

Mai multe persoane care si-au dat demisia din WikiLeaks din cauza unor conflicte de munca cu Julian Assange îşi vor lansa luni un site numit Openleaks. In comparatie cu proiectul WikiLeaks, site-ul OpenLeaks nu va publica direct pe Internet, ci va permite unor parteneri mass-media să primească informaţii, lamureste fostul purtător de cuvânt german al WikiLeaks, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, şi fostul membru islandez Herbert Snorrason.

Grupul va servi ca intermediar neutru, fără agendă politică.

„Obiectivul nostru pe termen lung este construirea unei platforme puternice, transparente, pentru susţinerea celor care au informaţii, încurajând în acelaşi timp şi pe alţii să demareze proiecte similare”, a spus organizatorul Opeanleaks, care vrea să rămână anonim, relatează Sofia News Agency.

„OpenLeaks este un proiect tehnologic care are ca scop să fie un furnizor de servicii pentru terţi care vor să primească informaţii din surse anonime”, declară Domscheit-Berg, într-un documentar despre WikiLeaks care va fi difuzat duminică seară de postul de televiziune suedez SVT.

Adresa viitorului site, openleaks.org, este activă şi afişează mesajul „disponibil în curând” sub logo-ul său. Foştii parteneri ai lui Assange au demisionat de la WikiLeaks din cauza stilului de lucru a acestuia şi pentru că problemele personale îl distrăgeau pe acesta de la muncă.

Creat în 2006, site-ul WikiLeaks, specializat în publicarea de documente confidenţiale, a provocat recent o adevărată furtună diplomatică, difuzând mii de documente secrete.

Bulgaria: Ex-WikiLeakers to Launch Rival Site - Report

Several people who resigned from the WikiLeaks project amid conflicts with founder Julian Assange are planning to provide some competition on the whistle-blowing front with the launch of a new site called Openleaks on Monday, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported.

„Our long term goal is to build a strong, transparent platform to support whistle-blowers–both in terms of technology and politics–while at the same time encouraging others to start similar projects,” an Openleaks organizer, who wished to remain anonymous, told the newspaper. „As a short-term goal, this is about completing the technical infrastructure and ensuring that the organization continues to be democratically governed by all its members, rather than limited to one group or individual.”

Assange‘s former partners left WikiLeaks because of the „top-down management style” and because Assange‘s personal problems were distracting from the work, the report said.

Openleaks will not directly publish information it receives but will allow media outlets and other organizations to access the system and disclose what they want, according to internal Openleaks documents. The group will serve as a neutral intermediary with no political agenda.

„As a result of our intention not to publish any document directly and in our own name, we do not expect to experience the kind of political pressure which WikiLeaks is under at this time,” a source told the newspaper. „In that aspect, it is quite interesting to see how little of politicians’ anger seems directed at the newspapers using WikiLeaks sources.”

The news comes shortly after Assange was arrested and refused bail in England after Sweden sought his extradition for sexual assault.
