1. John Watkins made the predictions in the 1900s that by the 2000s we would have digital color photography, that people would be taller, we would have mobile phones, the population would be being to slow down, there wouldn't be C, X, or Q in the alphabet, and that their would no longer be cars in large cities. In the 1950s Robert Heinlein predicted that by the 2000s there would be interplanetary travel, cancer , the common cold , and tooth decay will be "conquered", and your personal telephone will be small enough to carry in your hand bag.
2. Things that one might still hope for the future would be no mosquitoes or flies, everybody would walk 10 miles a day, life will be found on mars, Radio transmissions of matter, proof of survival after death, and a laboratory creation of life.
3. Ones that are still out of reach/ might never happen are radio transmissions of matter, there won't be C, X, or Q in the alphabet, and cancer, the common cold, and tooth decay will be conquered.
4. Some of the trends were smaller and more advanced technology, life outside of the earth, and less transportation in cities.
5. If I could predict the future I would say that space travel will become a norm, humans will be healthier, and there will be fewer wars.
