Hopefully most of us will be around in the next thirty years, judging by what events, technology we have seen in the last 30 years. How will you see the world changing in your lifetime

The thought of thinking that far ahead actually really scares me!

Quite honestly, I can only see most things being worse. Everything from environment, politics, money, crime, war....

Computers *should* be down to a touchscreen and voice control, transport *should* all be electric, power generation *should* be by sustained fusion (the first commercial planet should be operational within the next few years) or standing-wave fission reactors, or otherwise green, society *should* be mostly unchanged except for a few new fads/trends and possibly same sex marriage, the environment *should* still be on the decline, if current trends of 'it's not our problem' continue and sea levels should be up a few meters. The population of humans in space should increase and there *should* be a larger manned station in LEO and a few autonomous robots on the moon and mars. Does that cover everything?

I'm not planning on another 30 years.

I know I'm not actually doing much work today but I suddenly realised that I have been working for 30 years this week.

In that time I have seen the office change from using the Roneo and Gestetner for copying to now being able to scan documents to the photocopier. I have seen typewriters go from a basic electric to an electronic to word processors and now computers. I remember the week computers went from mono to colour and putting the new colour chips in the back to upgrade them. I remember sending telex and having to start again if I made a mistake. PAs have become EAs. We used to just call each other but now we make an appointment to speak on the phone and check by e-mail before speaking to each other. No one expected an instant reply to a query. Tippex dealt with errors but now we never go back and correct our errors.

That's just the office... I could go on but I won't.

You forgot that TV stations will still be showing repeats of Only Fools and Horses, Top Gear and other well-known TV shows

I feel (or hope) there will have to be a massive turn around. I belive things will have to get better.

More vaccinations, cure for more cancers. There will be so many more elderly people, maybe they would have there own community, new areas built specially for the elderly (not over 55) where they can live in an independant area with all the right facilities and with their peers.

Work places will have to have creches if they have more than so many people working for them. Childcare will be split equally.

Far less divorce as very few will actually get married. Less children being born, more single children families.

Benefit systems will completely change, more opportunity to go back into furthere education.

I think we will have even more irratic weather, although i think we will have done something about flood barriers and getting to work in the snow.

I also think we will go back t community spirit and make do and mend. Wit less money people will turn more to the good life, people will pass down things, make homemade products and be generally more neighbourly

They are the positive things id like to see happen.

Sadly i think crime such as murder will be on the increase as people value lives less than they ever did.

I think even less people will smoke than they do now because the price of cigerettes will have risen beyond anyones budget.

I'd like to think there will be an effective treatment, if not a cure, for Alzheimers and other dementia. Sadly, this is looking less and less likely as the big drug companies are withdrawing their research into a cure because of shareholder pressure for short term profits.

We have cars that can park themselves now (the Ford Focus has such a facility) so I reckon in 30 years time we'll have cars that drive themselves too. The world will be mapped to a much greater level of detail and that will enable SatNavs to plot more accurate routes to get us from A to B. I also believe we'll be 'flying' hovercars that run on solar energy, or electricity, as the petrol engine is on it's way out.

Computers will be holographic, projecting a large interactive screen with a holographic keyboard, or with voice recognition, and that our internet connection/account will travel with us wherever we go. It'll be 100 times faster than it now and we'll wear connection devices like a Star Trek communicator.

Television will go from being a central feature in our living rooms to a peripheral device that we watch via some sort of personal wireless device and watch through a headset of some description. Although we'll still have holographic TV so that more than one person can watch a programme together like we do now.

Books will be a rarity as all our daily/weekly reading matter will be downloaded to a Kindle, or a similar device, seemlessly and at night so that it's there in the morning. (Antiques Roadshow-type programmes will feature rare books that are worth a fortune, so keep yer books to pass on to your granchildren)

Music will be revolutionised again in that we'll be able to go to any concert we want via a virtual reality device. It will be like you are really there, and with avatars that look like you we'll be able to go with our friends and experience the same things, in a VR setting.

Weekly shopping trips will be a thing of the past as houses will be fitted with access boxes that allow supermarkets to deliver groceries/supplies/goods while you are at work and you'll send your list of requirements over the net via a barscanner installed in your home somewhere. As you run out of something you scan the packaging and it updates your shopping list with your preferred supplier/s. Each week the list is collated and your supplies are sent.

Our great grandchildren will see photos of petrol stations and quizzically ask what they were.

AIDs and HIV will be cured but something worse will take its place.

Same for cancer.

However world instability and religious unrest may curtail that 30 year endeavour for many people.

Its 6am on a Sunday morning, the mandatory electronic sensors in your nervous system fire up and agitate your muscles into getting out of the standard-issue one inch thick synthetic eco-mattress. You vaguely remember the long, luxurious lie-ins of your youth but you daren't dwell on them as this will create warning flags back at The Source. It's been 4 years since all the cellphone masts were upgraded to scan for errant thought processes and you're not taking any chances.

You make your way to the bathroom and get your designated 50cc blast of steam in the E-Shower before checking what Facebook wants you to do today on the integral monitor. Oh, it appears Fred didnt turn up to work today and You have been mandated to replace him for the day. Failure to do so will result in the loss of a week's wages, demotion and being ordered to take an Attitudal Reassignment Course at one of the Source Subcentres.

Breakfast consists of 2 pills (Carbolyte and Proteus +) washed down with an AquaCap Watershot (you drink 2 even though you know you'll have to explain why in the End of Week audit).

After making an appointment to speak to your Building Supervisor, you finally get the clearance to leave and make your way to work. Realising you're going to be 20 minutes late, you whip out your I-Monitor and apply to TimeDirect for additional travel minutes - only to be told you arent eligible this month. No reason, just 'Sorry'.

Standing at Sector 4T/A waiting for the train, you are approached by 6 Uniformed Peace Officers who demand to know why you keep looking at the pretty blonde across the platform. Scanners have registered that you looked at her 4 times in the previous minute without approach and as this constitutes an act of Social Terrorism (Code 23448:W), you are now required to provide a DNA sample, coupled with a 200 New Dollar fine. This is deducted from your account instantaneously and without question.

Simultaneously, your wife back at home receives a welcome pack from the 'Abused Spouses Group' and an appointment has been made in advance for her to attend self-assertion classes.

Your mind drifts back to when you were 20, before the Source made it illegal to approach or interact with strangers in public. It was all so easy then, flirt, smile, chat and take a coffee, get to know each other in an unhurried way. A far cry from the world now, where we are forced to buy Social Credits from the FBI-P (Facebook Interactivity Program) in order to try to get to know people.

The transit into work isnt too bad today, You idly watch a bit of Principal Austin Bullhorn's daily sermon on the big screens, feel the fresh breeze on your scalp. The aerial drones look so pretty weaving in and out of the signs and billboards, the sun dancing on their metallic hulls like crystalline flashes of gunfire - but it's been 5 years since they outlawed physical weapons globally, so you can only vaguely remember the look of a nice muzzle-flash.

In an instant, a high-pitched noise explodes in your inner ear and the automated voice of a Controller tells you that you have just committed an Act of Destructive Thought and will now be locked down for investigation. The same musculoskeletal sensors that forced you out of bed now rigidly stick you to the spot.

More peace officers surround you, switching to Public Order Defence mode and their canines go wild, begging to be given the green light to rip you to pieces. You try to ask what it is you are supposed to have done but by now your speech is rapidly deteriorating, and all you can manage is gibberish. You are detained and taken to Source, where you will be thoroughly assessed and all memories will be scrutinised before being sanitised.

A doctor tells you he is authorising Non-descriptive Detainment as Source Agents begin re-mapping your neural pathways.

Meanwhile, back at home, your wife has just received several compatible profiles from the 'New Life, New Husband or Wife' team over at Fort Zuckerberg.

There will be no pubs or clubs or cinemas... no casinos or supermarkets or shopping centres... no planes or buses or cars... no holidays or offices.

All manufacturing will be done by computers and robots.

When you wake up you will pop on your head-set and join Second Life... get in your virtual car and go to your virtual place of work. After you have finished at your virtual workplace you can go around the virtual shops or virtual pub. And if you are feeling frisky you can pull a virtual meet.

Life won't have changed much for some people.
