Make a very wild prediction, you truly believe will happen

[ToyfareMark]

Ok the idea of this thread is as the title says. Share with us something that despite how out there and impossible it may seem, is something you really think is going to come to pass sometime in the recent future. By recent future I mean within the next 20 to 25 years. Just make sure it's something within board rules so we don't have any trouble.

Here is mine... I truly believe within the next 25 years that the video game console industry will go by a standard format across all consoles. Any manufacturer will be able to make their own console however they want, but all software will play on any machine, and it will be up to each company to compel you to buy their console with their own bells and whistles. I think this will make things much easier on consumers, developers, and console makers. Each for different reasons, but a benefit for all.

Ok guys. Now it's time to hear your predictions, and for me to get made fun of because of mine haha.

Within 10-15 years we will develop a cure for cancer. It might not be available right away but science will be able to crack the code.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

I think within 50 years tops, most if not all cars will be electric. It'll have to happen anyway since we're running out of oil, and the chemical industry needs it too badly for it to remain a reliable, let alone affordable fuel for long.

I also believe cybernetic implants will become common far quicker than we expect.

WW3, sometime in the next 20 years or so.

Super Gold will be invented and it will be more valuable than Platinum. Its a total scam, but we will all buy into it.

Adding to this prediction: The sides in World War 3, when it does happen, will not be fought between countries, but rather some more malleable borderline.

I think HIV/AIDS, Autoimmune and GI diseases aren't far off either. 20 years ago most of them were total mysteries to medical science, but nowadays are understood pretty well. All the money being thrown at them combined with the current level of knowledge means that serious advancements are likely just around the corner.

Within the next ten years the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series.

Stop laughing at me.

Now you're just being silly.

[Push R Truth]

The Cowboys won't win nor even get to the Superbowl while Jerry Jones has anything to do with the team.

I have a gut feeling some major metropolitan area (2 million+ people) somewhere in the world is going to get wiped off the map within 20 years. I don't know if it will be volcano/hurricane/disease/fire/asteroid/war/soccer riot/tsunami/flood. I just for some reason think we are "due".

I think we find evidence of alien life in the next 15 years. Not boneable Aliens (sorry kirk), probably fossilized bacteria on Mars or something not Sci-Fi-Awesome, but amazing non-the-less.

Major League Baseball will have a massive change in the next ten years. I don't know if it will be a pitch clock, or actually contract a team or two, or it will be some unforeseen rule that alters the game... but it's going to happen. Baseball is teetering on the edge of becoming a niche sport if it already isn't one.

Next 5 years? Somebody famous is going to get killed in a horrible and very public fashion and it will be deemed the fault of paparazzi... yet we'll all read about it on TMZ and that industry will end up benefiting from it's faults.

Prediction for this coming year?
TNA kicks the bucket.

Agreed. I really think they're pretty close (or at least closer than people think) on an AIDS cure

If the popularity of Major League Baseball takes a serious dip in the cities of New York, Boston, and St. Louis then MLB is gonna be in some serious trouble.

in 5-7 years there'll be a huge influx of Mid-Eastern or African rappers from war-torn countries.

[revolver86]

Pot will be, like, totally legal, dude. /RVD

[Zombie Mod]

star trek style holodecks & replicators (food and otherwise.) which will be the end of human civilisation. 50 years max.

[fw91]

I will live for a decent amount of years, and the mets will never win a World Series in my life

I must add that I think this whole 3d printing deal is going to wind up leading to some really cool advancements that we can't even comprehend, at this point.

In 35 years I'll be a millionaire. I'm serious by the ways.
