What is going to be the next big thing in Sociology?

What I mean is this, what do you think is the next stage in the evolution of the field? 

Are there any issues are at the edges of the field right now that you see becoming important to the field as a whole in the near future? What areas of research do you think are going to become significant to Social Science? Are there any sorts of new methodology changes or advancements in types of measurement or programs (like SPSS) that are going to push the Social Science in a different direction?

Thanks in advance!
