100 years into the future

What do you see?

Can you imagine that 100 years ago, present-day technologies such as the iPhone and Google Glass would have been considered design fiction? I can’t even begin to wonder what new fictions we would have another 100 years from now.

Anyway, out of sheer curiosity, I keyed into the Google search bar “100 years into the future” and here’s what popped up:

Twenty top predictions for life 100 years from now, BBC News

Apparently, we’ll be able to:

• Communicate through thought transmission, a.k.a. synthetic telepathy (nothing like throwing in some scientific jargon to give my self-esteem a little lift)
• Live forever (like vampires – hopefully minus the bloodlust and prickly fangs)
• Travel in space elevators (I damn well hope I live to be a 120)
• Possibly control the weather (Melbourne certainly needs a handle on that!)

What are your predictions for life 100 years from now?
