It's so unhelpful to speculate about what the world will be like 100 years from now.

Think about what things were like in the 1920's and how unrecognizable the world is by comparison. Then, consider that technology is being developed significantly more quickly than it was in the 1920's.



True, I struggle to think 10 years ahead these days. The horizon for predictions is definitely shrinking.
