My predictions for the future

Micro Summary

Send a message to your future self on this Web site!

Post Content

I stumbled across a very cool site today. It’s run by American car manufacturer Acura, and I think it’s designed as a promotion for their future concept cars. Anyway the site allows you to compose a message consisting of predictions for the future and then have that message sent to someone or yourself up to nine years later!

I’ve scheduled to receive a message from myself in early 2017 and have included my predictions for the future. I’ve removed the personal stuff, but here’s a few things I think will be in place in 2017:

  • Western governments will have used the ‘war on terror’ as an excuse to instigate a police state.
  • Almost every bit of communication will be monitored.
  • Receiving this email will make you nervous.
  • People will be cloned.
  • Brain and body ‘enhancements’ will be very prevalent.
  • Designer babies will be all the rage, and a genetic lower and upper class will be developing.
  • A cure for HIV will have been found.
  • Africa will be developing much better.
  • The US will no longer be the dominant global power - the EU will be instead.
  • People will be very environmentally aware.
  • Global warming will continue to cause massive problems
  • There will no longer be a Northern ice cap.
  • The Internet will be/have been used as a tool to control the global awareness of certain issues.
