Corporations of the Future

Rate: 8 Flag
By Daniel Rigney
Gazing into my crystal screen, I’m getting a sharp image of the future of American corporate life in the year 2030. I see vast business empires, and even entire industries mutating, hybridizing and merging to create new capitalist life forms beyond anything we can imagine today.
In one hypothetical universe, these are the twenty largest corporations in the United States in the year 2030:
1.       1. GoogleGov
2.       2. ExxonSachs
3.       3. Fox Mindcasting
4.       4. e-Motors
5.       5. Canada
6.       6. Beyond Methane
7.       7. 3DXerox (“Printing Self-replicating Robots since 2020”)
8.       8. Chinamerica
9.       9. First Digital Bitbank
10.   10. Solar Access
11.   11. Central Cooling
12.   12. Texas, Inc.
13.   13. MallMart
14.   14. AppleBoeing
15.   15. Bieber Enterprises
16.   16. Randy’s Reproductive Services
17.   17. N-Dimensional Games
18.   18. SimusexSolutions
19.   19. McPrison Home Systems
20.    20. Kafka-Orwell (“The Surveillance People”)

What emerging post-industrial industries am I failing to foresee? Virtual foods? Artificial emotion? Military nanobot swarms? Pharmafarms?  Who knows?
This is just my own 2030 vision. What’s yours?
