What do you think the future holds, for the people of 2108?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) September 30th, 2008

Here are my prognostications for 2108:

Computers no longer need keyboards. You talk to it; it talks to you.

Your big screen HDTV can double as your computer monitor screen, and is used during 2-way video phone conversations.

Hands-free driving is now possible (and preferable) on the American Interstate highway system.

Many Americans have “cars” like The Jetsons have. And all of them have something equivalent to today’s OnStar. Also, if your car “senses” that you are too drunk to drive, it automatically shuts down and NOBODY can restart it, for 12 hours.

The landline phone no longer exists. People now have cellular phones that work in every country on Earth, and every one of them has a GPS locator.

All current AM & FM radio stations are no more. You get static-free reception of any station you wish to hear, from satellites.

You can learn anything you wish, while sound asleep; knowledge can be transmitted via a computer, directly into the learning centers of your brain. You can go to sleep (in special Sleep-Learning Centers) not knowing Spanish, and when you wake up, you are fluent in it. Those same centers can also give you a Total Recall vacation, if you don’t have time to actually visit a particular place.

There is now a fully self-containted Biosphere colony (operated by the UN) on the surface of the Moon, with a population of 10,000.

OK, your turn!
