missing link will be found, da vinci painting will be found, hillary might get shot, carbon nano tubes will make space elevators a reality, first contact will be made, redheads will go extincts, white will be a minority, there will be polar ice cap melting, oceans will rise till arkansas is coastline (ill be rich) people will be born without appendix or spleens, humans will live to be 110 on average so people will marry later in life.... america will figure out that educating our youth is the key to future success and teachers will be paid accordingly, allah, jesus buddha and all the others (zeus, ra and odin?) will come down and tell the world to start being kind to each other and to protect the environment so wars will end, crime will become unheard of and police will stop carrying guns. i will win some celeb question as best answer and will a couple of billion bucks, and we all lived happily ever after

The next few things that will radically change our lives are already being worked on. The first is the integration of technology and biology. A scientist in England has discovered a way to 'record' the electrical impulse in our nerves. the next step would be to duplicate them . this would allow artificial limbs etc. to react to our thought exactly like a real limb. We are also due for a breakthrough in computer technology. We have been making things faster and smaller by using different materials and putting them closer together. this can't keep working. A new system using varying degrees of electricity instead of on/off, would multiply processing power exponentially. This would lead to untold breakthroughs. Imagine going from protractor to supercomputer overnight.

Nanotechnology...already in the works but its implications and applications will be astonishing, from making smaller and faster computers to medical miracle breakthroughs.
It will change the way we communicate and may extend out life lives and the quality of our lives dramatically.
The downside being is that there are many researchers using virus to create mini-factories to produce the nanoparticles and viruses can adapt and become unstable.
A good fiction book, based on some facts, is "Prey" by Michael Critchton.

A means of producing electricity through our actions. Embedded micro generators in our clothes, car, building materials that generates electricity from movement and vibrations.

A way to deal with the megatonnage of nuclear wastes we've spewed onto the planet. This is going to be a "hot" issue of research for generations to come. Many, many generations to come... *sigh* ...
A convenient tabletop toaster which produces perfect toast in 1 second, so finally we can enjoy hot crispy toast with our hot eggs, instead of either cooled eggs with hot crispy toast or wilted cold toast with hot eggs.....
Wait a minute, I'm getting an idea... hmm... hot nuclear wastes in great abundance... hot toast in 1 second...
heh heh heh
