After reading about these predictions made 100 years ago, and how most have been strikingly accurate, i am wondering what people's predictions for the next 100 years are.

Anyone care to make any?

Besides Dan, if I grant you acess to Shinetopia (available now at only 15% of your gross annual income, operators are standing by for your call) why would you ever want to come back?!

No, the skeletal remains of Nigel strapped into his car will be unearthed in the centre of what used to be 'Birmingham', long ago drowned in its own crud.

There will be no accepted English language anymore.

The word 'like' will be the commonest utterance in the world.

The expression "He goes .. and I'm like .." will be the next commonest, its usage limited only by the inability of 50% of the population to string more than two words together in any recognisable pattern.

The economy as we know it will have undermined itself, with everyone of child-producing age having gone on benefits, leaving no-one to produce any wealth for the country, which would have paid the benefits.

Everyone will be at university.

Aye you could be right there Brian, eh?

I reckon a new figure of speech will come into use, called sarcasm.
