Lord I hope half those predictions don't happen. I don't want ppl knowing what I'm doing and where I'm at any time of the day/night. Although it would be great if AIDS was indeed elimated and that vaccines were discovered to cure the illnesses listed.

Something like that already happens! It is extremely difficult to hide yourself and your activities in today's world! You just may not be aware of it!

"Understand the origin of life and be able to recreate it in a lab?" A little arrogant I think. However many of the predictions may seem possible. Some of them have been written about by science fiction writers for decades. I guess any thing's possible!

Amazing! Some of the predictions is good news, but there are others that look kind of a Big, Big Brother.¡I always said dogs were better than cats! It seems Sylvester, Tom and Garfield will be in the zoo, next door to Tiger and Kimba. :)

I think cats have been around as long as dogs, and lived with humans! I do not think we get most of our diseases from out pets!

I think I am planning on still being around. Some of it sounds good, some not so good. I guess we will just have to see what really happens.

I know it is already possible for some people to live into their hundreds! And many people are living well into their nineties, and still being able to get around!

Indeed true that it is fun to have some idea of the future. More so if we can be part of it. However, the future does not seem to be what I dreamt for. LOL.

Interesting but as I will not around to see if any of the preditions come true I do not think I will put too much belief in them.

This reads like the things to do list from the democrats. I am so glad that I won't be around to see this mess, because this is what the elitists want to accomplish. This is their idea of utopia, where all of mankind in under their supervision and control. You should watch the video "From Freedom to Fascism"... this is not a dream, it is fast becoming reality.

I think a lot of those predictions are based on what is already happening, and the rest are just hogwash!
