Area of Expertise: Futurist/Consultant
Topic: Privacy
Headline: There will be less corruption
Nutshell: With increased visibility and communication, the corrupt will no longer be able to hide or enjoy their ill-gotten wealth.
Vision:Third-world countries are notoriously corrupt, but corruption is also widespread in developed countries. This is because the corrupt can conceal their huge amounts of wealth and enjoy it privately. The Internet (and other technological developments) will enable watchful citizens, journalists and law-enforcement agencies to find out hidden assets, expose the corrupt and make corruption less attractive.
