Okay, here is a list of some of my predictions for 91 years from now. Keep in mind I have no education relating to any of this stuff, I am just making it up off the seat of my pants.
Electricity
Forget Solar, Wind Power, and all those. We are going to be powered by the reaction caused by collision of atoms in the air and cosmic rays from space. All our appliances etc, will not need to be plugged in, they will just feed off the energy present around them. We wont be “off the grid” because there simply will be no grid. The grid will be a thing of the past.
Computers
Computers as we know them will cease to exist. Everything will be controlled with a simple and microscopic implant that will allow the unused portion of our brains to be our permanent computers. Our brains will do everything that modern computers today do – that and a 1000x more.
Exercise
Life will get a little boring, as everyone with the money to buy there computer implant, will have a health program installed. When you think that you are putting on a little too much weight, you will just run your “body-defrag” and the computer in your brain will remove the excess weight, tone your muscles, and keep you trim and healthy. There will be no more obesity.
This program is a welcome change too, considering the lack of exercise we will face with the advancements in transportation.
Transportation
Star Trekkies rejoice. Teleportation will be here, and there will be no more need for mass transit, cars, planes, or any of that junk. Heck, even now, we have built the technology to teleport information between two separate atoms. Just imagine where this will take us in 100 years from now. The impossible just may not be impossible.
Food
You’re going to miss that steak dinner. Global warming will cause mass chaos in the food chain and we will survive off of proteins grown in the lab, fake meat laced with all kinds of chemicals mimicking vitamins and other essential nutrients.
Sun Burns
You know those bad sunburns you get in the summer these days? They will be a thing of the past. We humans will evolve to make us immune to sunburns by causing our body’s to emit their own version of sun block.
That’s it for my predictions today. I will write a part 2 later when I am feeling creative again. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on these crazy ideas, and would also love to hear your far-out predictions. Leave them in a comment to this post, or contact me!

Love the electricity idea, but the computer implant is just plain scary. Please take it back!
very good i think so too
thanks that you helped me on a composition about life in 2100
This is really great!
Fun ideas- however, there is no unused portion of our brain. We use every portion of our brains every day, we just only use 10% at a time. Also, evolution does not happen that quickly, and anyway sunburning is not a factor that stops reproduction, so there would be no reason to select against it…
None of these predictions will be even close to true by the year 2100. Its that simple.
Hi Dylan.
Thanks for your comment, but just so you know, I am not dumb enough to assume that any of these would come true. It was just a fun little post to write that had no means of seriousness in it at all. Note that at the start of the post I note that I am just making it up as I go.
here is my predictions for 2100:
More desert on Earth
Futuristic cities, like big skyscrapers
All cars go on hybrid or bio-diesel, including planes go on bio-diesel.
sea-level have risen 1-3m.
I have including predictions for year 3000:
Sea level will have risen 100-200m
I think it’s very interesting and you never know if it would come true.. I didn’t think it would happen but if you think about it anything can happen now til then, it is a very long time and you’ll never know because us human’s won’t live that long,our souls might but not our bodies. It’s a good predicition tho whoever wrote this!
Um… I wrote it. And thanks.
i predict by 2100 there will be no cars and transportation will be controlled by computers bringing you to and from work. homes will be issued by the government according to contributions you have made in your area of expertise. money will no longer be used and will be replaced by a credit system . all people will have there occupations chosen for them according to their genetic make up, which will give them a higher productivity because their employment will be genetically suited to them
That sounds a lot like communism!
I like “Bruce’s” predictions, however, I truly believe at some point in the 21st century, with a rather unstable economy, the world is going to take a few steps backward. Yes, there will be advancements in technology – it will be a slow process though. Don’t expect to see any drastic changes in the within the next 90 years or so……
we have to give up ideas of government based on 19th century models. Communism? Communism!
Capitalism is already broken, socialism doesn’t work, communism has failed. How about…international democracy, rule of the people?
We will fail to make it to the future if we are too tied to the past.
