RE: OT. What do you predict ?
*Electric vehicles will make gasoline vehicles nothing but an expensive hobby, like owning horses.
*The internet of things will take over your house, and everything will be connected. Like your shitter will communicate to your fridge that you need more fiber and the fridge will text Amazon to send you granola bars via two hour drone....
*First self-driving trucks, then buses/mass transit, then vehicles, then ocean going ships, then airplanes.
*UBI will never come into effect, IMHO.
*The idea of Global Warming loses all political power.
*Online learning on par with traditional JCs, colleges, and universities.
*Many previously exclusive far-out suburbs will experience downturns as their housing stock deteriorates (quality wise, and it's too expensive to fully renovate the huge square footage of a McMansion) and their demographics change (lower income families, renters, etc.)
*The historic current speed of the hyper-liberalization of society will soon moderate, but it will inexorably continue to slowly but surely continue to move leftward ------ however, the "young-left" is starting to see the destructive qualities of the "old-left," who for all their lip-service to the collective left, have proven themselves too often the class-traitor, bourgeoisie wanna-bes they rail against. In short the "old-left" can no longer be trusted so we will see the beginning of the "young-left’s" Great Leap Forward.

*Actual human movie stars will be a thing of the past it will all be done with CGI.
* Families of famous movie stars will lease their likeness to movie companies and we will see John Wayne and Marylin Monroe make a comeback.
* All the major sports will see a slow steady decline with the rise of E-sports.

Optimistic predictions
*Big advances in materials science and nanotech (with broad applicatons)
*Personalized medicine
*cancer survival will improve drastically
*continuous decline of war
*liberalization (I mean that word in the classical sense and not the modern one) of the middle east
*advancements in aging research for more quality years
Pessimistic predictions
*strong AI never comes to fruition
*increased automation will create unemployment problems
*we will either have higher carbon emissions or a lot more nuclear power (most likely the former), solar will not grow like the greenies say it will
*SpaceX and other space companies will not get a man to Mars or mine asteroids or anything like that
*push by global elites for multiculturalism will create more political strife

I use to think that was a bad thing. But now I think that it is a necessity. Something is going to have to coordinate all the robots building underground vaults on the Moon and Mars. Not to mention the mining operations in the asteroid belt. Plus monitor all the drones hauling gaseous from Jupiter to Venus to terraform it.
