This Blog is about using our own imaginations to predict the lives of the human race in the future world, year 2100 and beyond. Of course, we are not able to predict the future on scientific grounds, and even if we do, I ddon't think the predictions will be much more accurate than our predictions using simple imaginations.
Anyway, people have been trying to predict the future since ancient times. But I believe the most amazing prophecies (because they are intepreted to be scarely close to reality) are made by Nostradamus in his work, 'The Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus'.
One can purchase his book on Amazon, by the way.

There are so many other famous works regarding predictions of the future; from Jules Verne and his 'From the Earth to the Moon' and 'Paris in the 20th Century', to George Orwell's ‘1984’, and then to 'Brave New World' by A. Huxley and so on. Some of these works predict the future with extreme accuracy (J. Verne!!) and others gave a more pessimistic view of the future because of the social and political contexts they were in. Nevertheless, they are all Great Literature and who am I to deny the possibilities that their predictions won't come true!

Being living in the Era of countless TV series and movies, We have been exposed to lots of different versions of predictions on the future, like in Blade Runner, Total Recall, Terminator, Minority Report, Oblivion and Avatar etc.

After being fed with so many different ideas, we will still try to use our own imaginations and referencing to articles regarding the researches of scientists and physicists of the Present and their predictions of the future.
