My Predictions For The Future

 MY PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE:


  • All canned-goods will have pull tabs, and can-openers will no longer be sold or used.
  • Neckties will fall completely out of fashion.
  • Non-Jewish/non-Muslims will no longer get circumcised.
  • CDs will stop being manufactured, and all new music will be available only in MP3 or vinyl.
  • Pole-dancing will be a commonly accepted form of performance art, and no longer associated with strip clubs.
  • Weddings will be replaced with small informal gatherings of friends for drinks to celebrate having just moved in together.
  • Newer and better robots will be capable of performing more jobs, causing unemployment rates to skyrocket.
  • Youth culture and generation labels will fall out of use, as society settles into a steady cultural routine.
  • Remote work will make offices and cubicles obsolete, as well as seriously reducing the traffic problem.

  • Sexual preference and gender identity will no longer be seen as important.
  • Ranked-choice voting will become standard in most or all states.
  • We will STILL not have flying cars.

  • Improved efficiency in green technologies will cause environmentally-friendly energy sources to become cheaper than fossil fuels.
  • It will become socially acceptable to dress in costume in public for no special occasion.
  • Filmmakers will set movies in the twentieth century, but mix up the sequence of historic events (for example, depicting Richard Nixon as president during the Korean War).
  • Virtual education will make conventional classrooms obsolete.
  • Intentional communities based on economic and sociological ideologies will lead to the formation of secular cults.
  • All dresses will have pockets.
  • Increased use of vertical farming, and possibly the development of synthetic meats, will cause real estate values to plummet in agricultural regions.

  • Standard over-the-counter shampoos will contain newly-developed hair-restoration chemicals, making baldness extremely rare.
  • Most people's living rooms will have chairs and couches facing the middle of the room, as opposed to facing any sort of entertainment center.
  • Fast food places will continue to phase out fatty and sugary foods in favor of healthy meals.
  • All transactions will be digital, and physical money will be of interest only to numismatists.
