End of the 60 - 70 years of the 20th century was marked with the beginning of the debate on global issues of humanity in the Club of Rome, led to a rethink of views on the world's current economic situation and to forecasts for the future development of society using dynamic global modeling. The time has now come for a similar global debate on world development trends induced by technological innovation. Rapid emergence and implementation of innovation in recent decades has produced dramatic change in lifestyles. Various technologies -- many of which appeared 'by accident' -- have become global and changed the world forever. Is it possible to control global innovation processes and forecast the spheres where future change will be concentrated? How will technological innovation affect the development of world economy and society in general? To what extent will technologies alter the life of society in the next 10-15 years? Will global economies continue to function as before? How can new technologies be applied to solve global problems?
