The next American High

I can see the next American High is starting to emerge quickly.  I don't see it as an American High, but a global high where most of the world is going to enter peace and prosperity, because of the increase of globalization.  China and the Eastern countries have been experiencing a High for a long time, but I have a feeling that China is going to lose it's power and it is going to go back to the Americas.  Europe will eventually recover from the economic crisis and it seems like the Middle East is going to become more settled and there will be many great reforms in their government, reducing radical Islam.  It seems like the world has been very peaceful and it looks like it is going to be even more peaceful yet while we may be entering a more global High than an American High.  The world will be a very peaceful place about 2030 when we approach camelot.

I predict that the next American High is going to be the return of American manufacturing and agriculture, as it was about 100 years ago.  I can see also a rise in the American oil industry.  The tech boom and the dot.com era will start to dwindle as American goes back to it's more traditional hard working roots.  I can see some advantages in the health care field as well as we find some new miracles in medicine in the next 20 years, especially with the field of mental health and psychology along with the aging.

Business is going to boom, but it is going to be a different from of business.  The at home business is going to rise with e-Biz.  e-Biz is going to rise in popularity and my decrease the amount of people working out.  Many people of all ages will have their at home business that could spread across the globe without even leaving the house.  The increased demand of warehouses and packaging and logistics will be common during the next few decades.  The social media world is going to help rise E-Biz with the rise of the internet.  Telecommunting will be common and many people will work for businesses outside of the home without even have to leave the house or change clothes.  The work from home family will be very common which will give more time to spend time with family.

Education will be different; you won't be tied to the classroom because I can see a rise of online education.  It is starting already - online high school will be more common which will give time for teenagers to have jobs, learn new hobbies and skills, along with find themselves and spend times with friends and family.

It looks like people are going to be isolated, but I doubt people are going to be.  They are still going to be going uptown and I can see a revival of 1950s things from the last high such as the malt shop and drive in movies, along with brand new fads.  Technology is going to be integrated as well with the internet to be used in malt shops as the mini jukeboxes that will play music off of the internet while you pay some money.  TV is going to be different as well with the internet integrated into it,so you can have more choice of what you are going to watch on TV.

Family values are going to return, especially with online work and education. Divorce will drop and you will  have more time to raise kids.  Social security is going to end, forcing grandma to go back to the home and become the respected elder.  The next American High might be the e-Biz revolution and the internet is going to progress more into something that the kids start to hang out on the computer.  The economy and pop culture will be based on the Web along with education and work.

You are still going to have traditional jobs but the traditional jobs will be for the lower crust people, older people that can't figure out the internet, and teenagers.  College will become more online so many college students will be spending more time in the workplace along with teenagers.  Teenagers, as again, will be spending more time in the real world than the school world.  Of course, you will have high school and college students but it is going to be at the "dress up days" students categories, such as your special ed students, popular kids and jocks, new students, and dorky kids.  The cool kids will be using online education to get their education and they will appreciate the education in their pajamas without having to worry about unnecessary drama and bad school lunches.


I can see some good things coming in the near future as the next American High approaches and I am ready to enjoy it.  But  I can see an Awakening, probably something based on climate change and the run out of resources because of manufacturing along with the wanted return of the welfare state economy about 2030s.
