- small city and town governments will disappear as the cost of providing services increases and demand remains the same, contributing to the emergence of more regional governments;
- senior year of high school will be eliminated to unburden the education system, leaving grades K-11 in place; and
- the composition of state legislatures will shift to include more and more tech-savvy people as leaders will need to understand and appreciate how technology can be used to make services easier, faster, better, and more cost-effective.
