Highlights: in the year 2050, we still haven’t met any aliens, Zoom is like Myspace, and American football goes away. There’s much more in the post below.

It turns out that trying to predict the future is tough!

First, a lot of things in the future will be better. In fact, more will be better than worse.

Climate change won’t turn out as badly as we worry about now.

Human lifespan won’t be much longer than it is now.

We still haven’t met any aliens.

The metaverse is legit, but Facebook (aka “Meta”) doesn’t control it.

We live in a post-fact world order.

American football will no longer be played.

Esports will be much bigger than all other sports.

Virtual reality will replace Facetime, Zoom, and other current meeting technology.
