My grown grandkids will laugh at keyboards, mice, and cell phones. They'll incredulously wonder how we survived without the broadband wireless network that covers the entire globe. However, the Luddites will vacation in Antarctica to escape being connected 24/7.<BR/><BR/>I hope oil powers only a small percentage of the globe, but we've bucked this trend for so many decades I wonder. As long as it's cheap enough, the economics of oil have made it the energy mainstay. My grandkids will marvel that we feared nuclear. But high-efficiency solar will provide most of the world's energy.<BR/><BR/>Disco will come back.<BR/><BR/>The European Union will be the undisputed top super power (masters of bureaucracy), with China second and the USA third and India nipping at our heels. Entertainment will be the biggest US business and export (maybe it is already).<BR/><BR/>Most forms of cancer, AIDS and other nasty diseases can be cured with gene therapy. (I really hope this comes true - I think it can happen.)<BR/><BR/>Robots sports become more popular than human sports. Cheaper and no doping questions. The Toyota -vs- Honda championship will set a viewership record.<BR/><BR/>World War III. Too depressing to think about.
