I sometimes think our children will be the grandmas and grandpas of the future. So our time, our latest new stuff, will be the tech stoneage in a century. So how will the world look like then? Any guesses Ruth-girl?
I haven't really thought about it, but when I think that my grandmother has witnessed WWII, man landing on the moon, the invention of the television, the computer, tablets and smartphones, she would wash her clothes using her hands when she was a teenager and now she has a machine for that, well I see that technology develops faster and faster.
So my guesses are that when we get to be grandparents the world will certainly have changed a lot and by the time our children will be grandparents, our world will be nothing like it is today. I just wish there will still be enough countryside and natural beauties left for them to admire. I hope we don't turn every inch of our planet into a concrete jungle...
The latter is definitely a probability if you think that the planet's population is increasing. Even though new jobs appear there are many others that disappear. Fortunately or unfortunately we won't be around that long to see if our guesses are right...Unless of course some miracle technology is invented to prolong human life span incredibly :P
I got your point ;)
I think I have to get hold of that...

I see a world with much more nature and much less of us. Japan's population development may be characteristic and labor demand may decline.

Orwell. Huxley. Bradbury. Also a good read: The Technetronic Era.
