A population of 1,000 on a few scattered remote islands? A bustling collection of spaceports and off-planet destinations? A moderately-scaled population with a big brother type government? A single governing authority?

A hundred years ain't much, but:
1. More homogeneous than now. Less racial diversity, and fewer languages or dialects (you'll be lucky to hear a pretty lady's southern accent, which is a shame) Thank ease of travel and the internet for that.
2. Taller, but less healthy. New medicines will allow us to live longer, but more dependent on medications to achieve that. VIagra is just the first of the feel-good medicines that the population will grow more and more dependent on in order to maintain our standard of life longer.
3. Fatter. Enough said
4. Tattoos will go from a fad to a social requirement, like in many other cultures. This is because the growing impersonal society will prompt individuals to seek out unique identities, and tattoos fit that bill.
5. Something to replace ties. Every century seems to have it's own interpretation of formality. The last one's was ties. Before that it was ruffles and powdered wigs. Next century will have something else. I'm thinking some wearable form of a personal computer/PDA.
6. Government/Housing/Cars - Pretty much what we have now. But I hope they bring back those big fins on cars!

If past trends are any indication of future pattern then some of the human race will be taller and live longer.
Some will be shorter and not live as long.
Some will be short anf live long and some will be tall and not live as long.
Many will be poor and destitute. Some of them will be knowledgeable others not so knowledgeable
If things progress a lot some will live a major portion of their lives off the planet Earth. None will ever leave the solar system (at least not within the next century or two)

I think we will see a lot more competition for resources and possibly a breakdown in the fossil fuels system. I don't think mankind will change very much in and of itself but I do think we will see less resistance to diseases as they become more resistant to treatments. Diseases evolve much more quickly than the human race does. It will be a very slow process. I think it might be more appropriate to try and look a couple hundred years or maybe even 500 years ahead.

Wouldnt a more appropriate question be....will there be a human race in 100 years? At the rate we are going, its not likely we will still be here.
