A breakdown of the next hundred years, as supposed in 1900...

impressively accurate.
What do YOU guys think about the next 100???????
Let ME begin with MY predictions:
-Hydrogen power...
Yes, as a physicist and an engineer, I give this one 45 years to full integration. The process will begin with an immediate improvement in mechanical efficiencies to slow down the coming tirade of gas/oil/and coal madness (coal being converted into usable gasoline toward the end of the whole expensive ordeal). Everything will be powered by it.
-Plastic surgery...
Highly effective cosmetic procedures will be available in every town, and both male and female above the age of 35 will have had atleast one. They'll be as commonplace and socially acceptable as a 12 year old girl going to have her ears pierced for the first time. The fuddy-duds who decline to do so will be considered as those of today: old fashioned, dull, and probably religious.
-2 distinct classes
It won't be dissimilar to HG Wells's setup, only this time the morlocks are healthy and quite academic. They'll work hard and know one another through decentralized television (not run by any networks or ratings). The centralized entertainment will be for class 2, who will depend on a menial redistribution of wealth to meet basic needs and provide them with enough entertainment to keep them appeased. They'll live short, unhappy lives... and probably not speak in full sentences.
-Brain implants??
Sure, why not. Our cellphones, PCs, Ipods, yada yada yada will all be integrated into one easy to access device that'll be indistinguishable from our ears, eyes, noses, and the rest.
-Monkeys to finally do our bidding
Yes, monkeys. Because they're smart enough to make my sandwich, but not quite enough to stop and ask why.
-Our gooseberries will finally be of a plump and gorge-able size

interesting post, hard to argue some of it instinctively haha but I feel that it will be quite different as well, atleast I hope. There will certainly be some brainlessness due to reality t.v. shows and technology but I also feel that we will have a intellectual and political revival of sorts. I honestly and truthfully feel that our generation is moving and shaking in the christian and secular world, and quite frankly I am stoked about it.
oh and by the way my personal blog is now visible to the public yay! haha
maybe we're set to enter into the next dark ages. Who knows? We could all just go join monasteries and save learning!
