Here's what I see:
- The world will be a better place. The future is coming at us fast, and despite the occasional fights and wars, the world will improve.
- Pollution and air quality will probably get worse for a while, but since we have the tools to see and identify the problems, slowly policies will change, and the amount of pollution we pour into the air and water will drop.
- Instead of phone and tablets, I predict we will begin seeing people "wet wired" into the Internet. A Tiny little device planted in our heads, maybe just behind the ears, will serve up all the Internet content we want, let us communicate with everyone instantly. We'll also all be able to Google-search anything just by thinking about it. We'll all be insta-smart.
And don't forget - soon we'll be going to Mars... ! (And hopefully Europa, my favourite moon).
I'm super excited for the future and really think that the world, or at least many parts of the world, will be bright and beautiful and fantastic.

Along with pollution, we'll see a lot of other climate changes. I think the the past one thousand years have been very clam weather wise, and we'll see a lot of changes that will require tons of adjustment. The oceans are going to rise which will cause huge issues being as here in the US our largest cities tend to be on the coasts. Entire countries will disappear.
