As crazy as some of these predictions seem, I never would have imagined today’s world when I was a kid. I think you should put these predictions in an old fashioned time capsule, bury it in the yard, and dig ig up in 50 years. It will be interesting to see, and also fun to dig in the dirt with an actual shovel when most of the world has gone digital! Of all of the predictions, I would love to see the eradication of disease even though most things when extinguished are replaced by new things. I love the optimistic tone of your thoughts and look forward to reading your next post!

Nice list.

I think you're optimistic on some and pessimistic on others - I suspect conventional meat will be obsolete not long after lab grown cell meat comes down in price to match it.

I believe the majority of people will transition to lab-grown meat then. However, I think social change on the societal scale takes quite long, and scaling the technology to the third world may take some time as well. There may also be religious reasons why some people prefer traditional meat, so I believe it will take a while before it becomes obsolete.

Right, I basically agree with that if laws aren't passed- and I assume they will be once lab grown meat is cheap.
