  • Sorry, but my karma just ran over your dogma.
BBC News Magazine asked their readers for their predictions for 100 years time. Here's the result.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16536598

My prediction is that in 100 years (or less) every human will be micro-chipped at birth and given a unique number. This number will be their life long identifier for all aspects of their life.

Any others???

Long before then, Man will have paid the ultimate price for his science.

The search for the Higgs Boson will not only have proven fruitless but the journey of discovery will have caused an incurable rift in time and space. We were always meant to "see" atomic physics but not manipulate it. I'll prove I was right, in 100 years time, long before you lot are born.

Barak Obama and  David Cameron are shown a time machine which can see into the future and print out the result.
   
They both decide to test it by asking a question each.
   
Obama goes first.
   
"What will the United States of  America be like  in 100 years time"
   
The machine flashes, beeps and goes into action and eventually gives him the  printout, he reads it out "The country is in good hands under a recently  new elected President, crime is virtually non-existent, there are no major world conflicts, the economy is healthy the deficit has been completely  reduced. The USA has no major worries"
   
Cameron says "Thats not bad for a time machine, I'll have a go at  that" so he asks:  the question

 
"What  will Great Britain be like in 100 years time?"
   
The machine again does its thing and goes into action eventually giving  Cameron his printout. But he's just sits there staring at it.
   
"Come on David" says Barak, "Tell me what the future holds for  the UK"
   
David replies:

 

 


"Buggered  if I know ! It's all in Arabic!"

A bit old, but not bad.

I will get back to my copy and paste source and point out the errors. If they correct them I will copy and paste the story all over again.............. :whistler:

(It's a fair point about the deficit being completely reduced though - I expect they meant "almost" completely reduced............or perhaps completely almost reduced..or perhaps reduced almost completely)... :rofl:
