I am worried that we are going to be too controlled & monitored. Having little freedom or rights left. Like computer chips being placed directly in babies as they are born. Is there a way for us to all join together to stop something like this from happening? Maybe a place to hide? I am thinking New Zealand or a tiny island off the southern coast of Spain.. What do you think things will be like in the future?

2010s - The Rise of the Second Russian empire. A new cold war will be fought between America and an autocratic Russia attempting to build another empire. Poland will become a major ally of the United States in this cold war. The Islamic jihadists will slowly be pushed underground as slowly a more conservative Turkey will impose it's dominance over the Islamic world. China will reach the peak of its financial strength towards the end of this decade or the start of the next one. India will rise at a slower rate than China, but the stability of its government will continue the economic expansion longer. In the United States and Europe privacy rights will be expanded as people become more and more concerned.
2020s -- America and its ally Poland will emerge as the winners in the second cold war against Russia. Turkey will be the de fato leader of the Islamic world and will start to crash with American interests more. China will collapse as the world's new super economic power. Declining birth rates caused by the one child policy will cause China to have way too many old people to support. The mass amounts of corruption and bad loans to internal parties will prove the Chinese system is not superior to the Western World. There will be massive internal China political fights between the wealthy coasts and the poor internal Chinese. China will act in one of two ways to solve this problem: Seal China off from the world or fragment along geopolitical areas. Most likely China of the 2020s will look at a political level a lot like China of the 1920s. India will emerge as the expected economy to over take America. Japan, as the second largest economy in the world, will try to again assume de fato political power over areas of China, but this time by money, not guns. The first solar energy collectors will be placed in orbit and will start to beam their power back to Earth by microwaves. This will start to spell the doom for nations those primary export is oil.
2030 -- Computers will be monitoring us 24/7, but with the primary purpose of watching our health. A computer will notify emergency units of someone having a heart attack before it actually happens. Privacy laws will be very tough; however, it will be easy to monitor anyone. America will be starting another long economic expansion as the World's most powerful economy. Americans will start to worry about the number of Indian imports.

How do you look after a sparrow???
jkjkjkjsss
I am getting a sparrow egg from a friend, I need help!!!! I need to know how to keep the egg warm enough so it will hatch. And I need to know how to feed and care for it as a baby and on through life. HELP!!!!!
Answer
A sparrow egg? Most sparrows are protected under federal law (Migratory Bird Treaty Act) and it is illegal to have these protected birds, their eggs, their nests or even their feathers.
" Anyone desiring to possess migratory birds or their parts or products should be aware that all of these are covered under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16U.S.C. 703-712), which implements a series of international treaties designed to protect migratory birds.
Some key provisions of the Act are worth keeping in mind:
Wording of the Act makes it very clear that most actions that result in "taking" or possession of a protected species or its parts or products is a violation of the Act. Specifically, the Act states:
"Unless and except as permitted by regulations, â¦it shall be unlawful at any time, by any means, or in any mannerâ¦to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, â¦possess, offer for sale, sell, â¦purchase, importâ¦any migratory bird, any part, nest, or eggs of any such birdâ¦"
It is a "strict-liability" law, meaning that there is no requirement for law enforcement agencies to prove "intent" to violate the law. That is, if you are found in possession of a protected species or its parts or products, you are automatically in violation of the law.
The provisions of the Act are nearly absolute; "...except as permitted by regulations ..." is the only exception. Some examples of permitted activities that do not violate the law are legal hunting of specific game birds, legitimate research activities, display in licensed zoological gardens, and bird banding under an appropriate permit.
The Act covers the great majority (83%) of all native birds found in the U.S. Many of the species not covered by the Act are covered by the Endangered Species Act , other Federal laws, or state laws, many of which are as stringent as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act . In the lower 48 states, all species except the house sparrow, feral pigeon, common starling, and non-migratory game birds like pheasants, gray partridge, and sage grouse, are protected.
Penalties upon conviction can be severe. Even if a sympathetic jury finds that you meant no harm in trying to rear an abandoned nestling or in picking a hawk feather, legal defense costs are clearly not worth the risk."

If you are getting an egg of an unprotected species (the English House Sparrow), I urge you not to hatch it. The English House Sparrow is an invasive species that displaces native species of birds, including the Eastern Bluebird, whose nesting boxes are regularly taken over by the English House Sparrow.
"The House Sparrow, Passer domesticus (also known as the English Sparrow), is actually not a sparrow at all but a weaver finch introduced to this country from Europe in the mid-1800s. The male is easily identified by its black throat and chest, which makes him appear as if he is wearing a bib. The female is much harder to discern and can easily be confused with fox, song and field sparrows, to name only a few.
Unlike predatory birds such as hawks which are part of the food chain, House Sparrows will work relentlessly to destroy other birdsâ eggs and young - for no apparent reason other than their determination to take over the bird world. They do not kill for food.
Iâve often come across nesting boxes where House Sparrows killed adult Bluebirds and Tree Swallows as they sat on their eggs. Then theyâd begin building a nest right on top of them!
In the past, the English Sparrow preferred urban areas. But sparrow problems have recently been increasing in more rural spots. Nesting boxes may be one reason. Well-intentioned people hoping to attract native cavity-nesting birds may actually be doing greater harm by not monitoring their boxes regularly, allowing House Sparrows to proliferate at an alarming rate."
