I think developments in all areas will be going slightly less fast than expected by most. In the eighties people had predicted we'd be walking in a star trek like environment by now. Well, yeah, touchscreens and that kind of stuff are here alright, but the overall environment hasn't quite changed that much. The overall difference between the 19th century and the 20th century has been bigger.

I think in certain areas there will be scientific breakthroughs, but I'd expected more groundbraking stuff already actually.

- I think by 2025-2035 there won't be any car running on gas, because it's gone by then. There may be flying cars. Prototypes of near fully automatic hovercars (not hovercraft, these things work with rotorblades) are already being tested bigtime.

- I think the North Korea problem will be solved within 10 years from now. How much longer can they withstand the economic isolation anyways?

- I think environmental problems will become more important than any ongoing war by 2050. Perhaps clean water will become a global issue, but that would be quite a pessimistic view, but perhaps realistic?

- The speed of light barrier turns out to be none-existant by 2060. At that time, it's only possible for unmanned vessels to reach that speed.

- Perhaps there will be settlements on the moon and/or Mars by 2075.

- I don't think that there will be a World War III between 2006 and a hundred years from now. And I strongly doubt it will be a nuclear war too, it would be quite stupid to do so, only a suïcidal nation would start or want that.
