Do you have any predictions about the future? (serious replies only, please)

[Sliver]

This can be a great place to post your future predictions. You can be as specific as you like.

I predict there will be a movie in the future titled "Obama". It will star Will Smith if it comes out within the next seven years and Jaden Smith (produced by Will) if it comes out in eight or more years.

I will bump this post when it happens.

A bunch of bad stuff that people could have seen coming if they were smarter. The story of our world from the beginning, haha.

My predictions for 2017:
- Upscale war in the middle east involving Israel and Iran, with major US involvement
- Oil shoots back up into the 90 range as a consequence of above
- N.Korea attacks S.Korea
- Scotland separates from UK
- The Queen and Prince Phillip pass away

Sorry if bleak

[Bigtime]

Elon Musk and Co. get people to Mars, and an actual habitat is set up on the moon. Hoping for this kind of stuff by 2030 at the latest.

[MoneyGuy]

Prolonged economic slump.

NDP loses the next Alberta election. Trudeau wins a second term.

Trump posts stupid crap. Yeah, reaching on this one.

And many celebrity deaths.

I predict this thread will strictly adhere to slivers request for serious predictions only.

The American govt will come out with yet another explanaition for the Roswell incident in New Mexico.

[Coach]

In my lifetime, we will see the merge of technology and our brains to the point that people will be able to send messages to each other via purely non-verbal/physical means. Basically sharing their thoughts.

[Looch City]

One thing is for certain.

Oilers will not make the playoffs.

[calgaryblood]

How can a prediction be serious and non serious?

[flamesfever]

I predict that:

- interest rates will rise

- inflation will increase

- growth in the world economy will improve, as much of the money sitting idle will be put to work

- gold and land will appreciate significantly in value

[Locke]

We're a year past due for Hoverboards so that seems like a safe bet.

[Slacker]

The American government/Trump will purchase the AI Microsoft developed and turned racist 10 minutes after activation. It will run his Twitter account and the government while he keeps doing the Apprentice tv show.

[SportsJunky]

I predict many celebrity deaths in 2017.

All I read was blah, blah, blah, oil goes to $90, blah, blah, blah.

Sounds pretty awesome to me!

I can see the Queen passing away soon leading to the breakup of the Commonwealth and Republican support skyrocketing in Canada and Australia.

Also I do not think WWIII is far away due to escalation in Syria, American isolationism and Russian and Chinese expansion.

I'm just gonna go ahead, agree with Sim City, and say arcologies or on their way to a skyline near you. This will be a result of an increase in worldwide food demand due to rising populations, particularly in Africa. (2030)

NASA and other black projects will finally establish algorithms that allow for quicker interstellar travel through the compression of time in space. (2022)

An large uprising in North Korea, albeit a bloody one, will remove Kim Jong-Un and his band of lemonheads permanently from power. South Korea, China, Japan and the US set up a task force to deal with the integration of NK's populace into a new nation governed by a specially-selected leadership group. The Koreas DO NOT reunite, however. (2019-2023)

Quebec gets an NHL team. (2018)

Oilers are still no good. (1991 - 3500 atleast)

Earth becomes a smoldering ball of crap because we're just a dumb species who doesn't learn from our mistakes. (2150)

I predict that the average human lifespan for people born in 2000 and later will be 110 years.

I take this back.

[N-E-B]

Rock N' Roll will rise from the dead and take over the popular music scene once again.
