Where Will We Be In 100 Years?
Predictions are a popular thing – people love to suggest how the world might change and what we might be doing in the next century. After all, 100 years ago the population must have thought that to have light at night time would be an outlandish concept, or be able to talk to people in other countries via waves, rather than face to face or with cords. With modern technology racing ahead at its current speed, the mind really does boggle at the sorts of things that we could be doing in a mere century. Over the decades, people have wondered what the future will be like. Who remembers the lyrics from the Prince song “tonight we’re gonna party like its 1999”? 
Inspired by a post on the BBC {read the original post} here at I Spy HQ we decided to put together a comprehensive office guide to our predictions; what will exist, what will cease to exist and more importantly, what will have changed in the ways we live. And being a creative bunch, there were some unusual suggestions, to say the least!
Communication
Talking will become a thing of the past as communication becomes carried out by avatars of yourself. Chips will be embedded in our heads to aid our memories, and memories will be tagged up using meta information and easy search for others to access.
The World
The population of the world will be higher than 12 billion and there will be wars over the lack of food and other supplies available to us.
We will no longer have four seasons as all we will experience are polar changes between summer and winter.
Travel
We will be able to partially space travel, meaning LA to London will take a mere 2 hours, and London to Sydney will be 3 or 4 hours.
We will all be flying around in cars, much like the Jetsons!
Health
There will be a cure for cancer.
Architecture and Infrastructure
Buildings will have biometric skins which will change with their surroundings, making the world far more energy efficient.
Computers will be invisible with the world having areas of high data flow.
There will be no more European Union, only a federation of member states under one union.
Social Media
Twitter won’t be the social media platform of choice any more, but whatever it is, politicians will be vetted before they post messages to avoid the faux pas of the previous century.
