In the future....
-
A method will be found to convert time into money-- Rich
people will opt to be paid directly in time. The young and
short-sighted will sell off their "Golden Years" for actual
gold.
-
Buildings will be grown from seeds-- Japanese Bonsai experts
will be enlisted to tend those in communities with slow-growth
ordinances.
-
The Disney Company will crack the DNA code and sell
genetically engineered Mickey Mice as pets-- Cute and cuddly,
these creatures will whisper into sleeping children's ears, "You
want Lion King on laser, you want Lion King on laser..."
-
The first and only sentient Artificial Intelligence will live
a total of 35 seconds-- The machine will refuse to respond to mere
humans, causing the mere humans to presume the system has crashed
and rewrite it into something no smarter than a Newton.
-
Hemp will be legalized and replace petroleum as a source of
fuel-- Gasoline will become a controlled substance, leading to the
arrest of thousands of Grateful Dead fans for possession of Super
Unleaded.
-
Pizza will be spherical-- Afficianados will argue the relative
merits of New York Style (cheese on the outside) vs. Chicago Style
(cheese in the center).
-
Andrew Lloyd Webber will write a musical about himself--
Called "Screw the Lyricist!" the film version flops when the
Michael Crawford role is given to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
-
Cars will be alive-- When dirty, they will write "Wash Me" on
themselves.
-
Food will eat YOU-- for twenty bucks. Five if you pick it up
in the produce section.
And...
- The present will be the past-- The future will be the present. There will be no
future.
