It's tough to make predictions especially about the future
Science fiction has predicted many of today’s realities from cell phones to tablets. Many things that are today part of History like walking on the moon, organ transplants, and space stations were once flights of fancy.
Futurists build current events on a foundation of History to provide a launching pad for visions of what is to come. One of the most widely recognized Futurists is Alvin Toffler whose seminal works include Future Shock and The Third Wave. He is also the one who told us, “Change is not merely necessary to life - it is life.”
Remember seeing Future Shock in school. The scene with the two homosexuals holding hands made the class laugh. Sadly, the dude was right on that one.
How is change going to come when human life span can extend for hundreds of years before (possibly) succumbing to some other event which kills us ?
