I'm only 15, but when I'm older will it be the same? Because I don't want it to be really different?? Like will Wal Marts and Targets and stuff like that look the same or will everything be really different?
I know it's a stupid question, but yeah lol. And if your gonna answer, don't be silly because I will just ignore those answers.

It will be somewhat different. Nothing stays the same forever. If Wal-Mart and Target are not around then there will be other stores just like them but better. When I was young there was a store like them in my neighborhood. It is out of business not but there is a Wal-Mart close to it now and that is a better store than the old store that use to be there. Fashions change sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse. One bad thing about the future is that crime will rise as it has for steadily for a long time. You will be older and these changes come so slowly that you will not even notice them. Study hard while you are still in school, as I believe that the gap between the rich and poor is changing. Those in the middle class will either rise up a bit or will be poor in the future and it will depend on the education and what they do with it that makes the difference. ▬

Okay, because you are only 15, it is not a stupid question. You haven't lived long enough to have developed enough memory to make comparisons for that time frame. The USA and every other country in the world will definitely be different in 7 years. They will all be different in 2 years. The fact is, everything (and everybody) changes, constantly. Even rocks change, although much slower than people. Change is inescapable. Without it, there would be no life.
That answers the simple part of your question. The more complex part - what will the changes be? - is impossible to predict with any accuracy. The best way to see what changes MAY occur, is to see what changes HAVE occured. That is why we should pay attention to history. It gives us a starting point, tells us where we are and how far we have come and it gives us the means to make predictions.
Check out the history of the United States and pay attention to patterns in its development. If you are thorough in your studies, you will be able to make your own predictions. Chances are, they will be as accurate as anybody else's.
Wally Worlds and those other stores? Don't expect them to look the same. Don't even expect your home to look the same.
Have some fun and don't upset yourself with the fact that the world changes. In seven years, your life will be dramatically different. Enjoy it.

Well, by 2008 every person in the US must have a National State ID that they will not be able to buy or sell without; is that change enough for you? But forreal, other than that unless I use some psychic ability I haven't yet achieved I don't know what else will be different or the same

The world changes every day. Nothing every stays the same. 7 years isn't a major jump in time so things will not be drastically different. Of course changes are not made all at once either. Things will slowly change and you will notice changes but it will be normal to you because of the rate it changes at. I hope that made sense lol.

Some things will of course be different; others will not have changed much. You will still buy your groceries at a store and get stuck in a traffic jam on the way home.

everything changes with time. all our building will look the same and maybe it will seem the same. time changes and so do we. You are young and you are the future and we depend on you to make those changes for the better. Don't be afraid of change. no change is the fear.
