Lots of important stuff is happening now, and what happens now raises some difficult questions that can't be answered as of current. I have questions as to where the world will be in the span of ten years. The only way to find out for certain is to wait for 2014 to rear its head.
WILL...
•Will the US be a victim of nuclear attack?
•Will we really have fuel cell cars, effectively bringing our dependency on foreign oil to a close?
•Will there be a third World War, and who will participate?
•Will Iran, Al Qaeda, or some other national enemy possess atomic capability?
•Will Pakistan and India finally destroy eachother, or will they reach peace?
•Will a broader Orwellian overtone be set upon the United States, noticeable even to the most close-minded of skeptics?
•Will nuclear weapons be used by any power on Earth to settle some kind of dispute, and will the US use them as a response?
•Will sea levels or nuclear winter or generic pollution render much of the planet uninhabitable?
•Will North Korea finally be an atomic power, and a force to be reckoned with?
•Will there be any other 9/11 style attacks on the United States or Europe?
WHO WILL BE...
•Who will be our President?
•Who will be our nation's primary enemy (i.e., modern Adolf Hitler)?
•Who will be the world's richest man?
•Who will be the next nation invaded by America & Company?
•Who will be running the Übersite, should there still be Übersite?
WHAT...
•What will be the world's primary problem or focus?
•What will be the average fuel economy rating, in miles per gallon (providing we drive cars with internal combustion)?
•What percentage of Americans will control the bulk of the wealth?
•What could bring the American people to the point of rebellion or revolution?
•What will be the change in global average temperature?
HOW MUCH WILL...
•How much will a basic cup of coffee cost at Starbucks or Second Cup?
•How much will inflation go up?
•How much will the average American weigh?
•How much will the gap between rich and poor grow in North America?
•How much will the average American make as far as wages in comparison with someone living in the Third World?
Not the brightest questions, but for now I'll leave them open to discussion as to the answers.
Spyker always calms me down. Thanks, Bob.

Who will be our nation's primary enemy (i.e., modern Adolf Hitler)?
Tom. My informants have led me to believe that he is going to start up the Communist campaign in CA and nuke Detroit.

The purpose of this is not only to find answers for these questions, but also to find new questions, and then find answers for those.
"How much will a cup of joe cost at Starbucks?" "You should be asking if there will even BE a Starbucks." "I think so." "I disagree. I believe that blah, blah, blah." "I see what you mean."
Like that. But not like that.
