What are your predictions? What will we invent, what will we achieve, what wars will occur (and what wars won't)? That kind of thing.

The end (virtually) of the private automobile, combined with fleets of self-driven satellite/computer-navigated taxis which will be the exact size you need at any point. The freeing up of countless acres of parking lots, and private garages.

An almost total loss of privacy.

I don't believe there will be a World War 3... and if there is, it won't end the world either :roll:

It will rain. It will be hot. It will get hotter, it will rain less, the human popualtion will outstrip the amount of food the planet can produce, some serious shit will happen.

Most animals will be extinct.

The chicken will survive

We'll be alright, then. After all, the chicken was the animal that first populated the Earth anyway. We're all derived from chickens.

My predictions of what is to come:

The truth behind 9/11 is finally revealed and all Americans pick up their deer rifles and hunt down all the current leaders in the country like animals, meanwhile, Bush takes us into the Georgia/Russia conflict and WW3 begins. The G8 breaks up and Russia and China form their own little gathering, which include INDIA, PALESTINE, and most of AFRICA.

CHINA and RUSSIA invade the USA just before November 5th, therefore jutting America into absolute Marshal Law! AMerica will have nuclear bombs dropped all over it and the only real safe places will be South Dakota and the Hopi Reservation in Northern Arizona.

Meanwhile, 'Gip comes in contact with the Angel Mike and his lovely Starship Melissa, and takes a ride picking up all the Aborigines of Australia and bringing them to the Hopi Rez for a big drum circle. We need them, because the Hopi Indians don't have any Didjeridu players and we will need them to summon the great Water Dragon from the Deep Realms. If we fail in the summoning of the Water Dragon, the Earth will shake violently and spin around and around and upside down. It will wobble all topsy turvy in space and then the Sun will rise in the West! So pray to sweet Jesus that the ANgel Mike and I succeed in our God-given quest!

After the nuclear war, all the evil people will die from terrible diseases, but all the people on the Hopi Rez and in South Dakota will be fine because the Ant People will have guarded them with their plasma energy force fields and their superior nano-tech.

'Gip then learns how to cure cancer by retuning and purifying the water inside cancer victims bodies.

People will live for thousands of years and the Ant People will implant us with reproductive constraint nanotechs (RCNs). These RCNs (the layman's nickname will be nut rings) can completely control our reproductive systems and we can only reproduce through sex when the Mother Mushroom Computer says it is okay to do so, or if we are really, really rich and have Gazillions of Ameros to pay for just one offspring.

Meanwhile, all living things on the planet will have their DNA stored inside of little worm like filaments that have gathered all the DNA from all the life forms on the planet. The ANt People can take these worm like filaments (or better called WLFs) and spread them throughout the galaxy like seeds. The WLFs, once in water, will begin recreating life and the earth and all its life will be reborn anew!

Then the Ant People will take their Death Star and destroy the earth, but the Death Star is actually a Life Star! It records all the little thermal signatures of all the subatomic particles of the planet and puts it on a giant floppy disc. Then the Life Star goes to another solar system and pushes the PLAY button. It then begins to reform the Earth using all the thermal signatures it had gathered from its destruction. Kind of like a giant three dimensional copying machine!

This will all happen in only six days! And on the seventh day they will eat Mexican food!

At what point did you decide that wasn't what was "in the future" for the 20th century? Before the century finished or not?
