The new century will be an era of rapid development, and the profound changes in human society will surpass people's imagination. Due to the development of information network technology, the world is becoming smaller; e-commerce connects merchants worldwide, and ordinary people begin to weave their online lives, fully enjoying the sunshine and rain of the information revolution. The leisurely pursuit of reading books and newspapers will gradually fade away, replaced by faster online reading. With the arrival of the internet age and the emergence of giant multinational companies, the era of economic globalization has been born; driven by technology, the form of war will change, with cyber warriors and computer hackers serving as heavily armed soldiers, and cyber attacks and electronic warfare will become the main forms of conflict. On the other hand, while humanity fully enjoys modern material civilization, it also begins to taste the bitter fruit of environmental disasters; the values and ethics long established in human society will face crises under the impact of the new century and new civilization, as people start to seek a new spiritual home. The new strategy pushed by the United States and NATO poses a severe challenge to national sovereignty, causing many people to worry; the fate of major countries like the United States, Russia, Europe, China, and Japan in the new century has also become shrouded in mystery.
