Welcome to the future

In bringing you tomorrow's news today, we have mapped a path from the already familiar landscape of life in 2000 through to the uncharted territories of 2050.

Your guides are scientists and experts whose ground-breaking work is already creating the new millennium. We do not have a crystal ball, but the research, intuition and imagination of today's leading minds can help us look into the future. At times we may appear irreverent - but never malicious.

Our vision is bold. History teaches us that it must be. Few could have predicted the impact of the first moon landing; the fall of communism; the advent of the pill or the Internet. The next five weeks will sometimes amuse, occasionally disturb, but always keep you thinking.

In This Decade
2010-2019

The second decade of the century is marked with a continuing move towards a tailor-made society.

Cheap computers allow us greater choice and biotechnology helps us believe that we can improve the environment and ourselves.

A bio-attack in New York makes us aware of our fragility; Ireland is united; and Britain, consisting of England and Wales, gains a new monarch - King Charles III is crowned.

Nothing surprises us: the cloning of Bill Gates from a single hair; the creation of a human-chimp hybrid; an athlete using nanorobots to boost his oxygen levels - all earthly progress seems inevitable.

Attention begins to focus on space: the lethal debris floating there; the contest for its territories; and what America will do with the weapons.
