520			_aWe stand at the dawn of a new era. Before us is the most important decade in the history of civilization, a period of stunning technological innovation, un precedented economic opportunity, surprising political reform, and great cultural rebirth. It will be a decade like none that has come before because it will culminate in the millennium, the year 2000. For centuries that monumental, symbolic date has stood for the future and what we shall make of it. In a few short years that future will be here. Already we have fallen under its dominion. The year 2000 is operating like a powerful magnet on humanity, reaching down into the 1990s and intensifying the decade. It is amplifying emotions, accelerating change, heightening awareness, and compelling us to re-examine ourselves, our values, and our institutions. The purpose of this book is to identify and describe the most important trends of the 1990s. Conceived under the influence of the next millennium, these new megatrends are the gateways to the 21st century.
