[Dismal purple]

In a decade we will all be surveiled on the internet and in real life. For your own safety of course. And the copyright holder's money.

I am completely serious.

Also increasing political polarisation in Sweden.

 

[Vault101]

probably not Half life 3

at least a few more for that

Cyberwar; Ghostnet versus Skynet.

Election turnouts will reach 200%.

SKYNET's gonna get built.

Yup.

I wonder, will we have hoverboards ala Back to the Future to escape the robots on?

idiots will become the dominant race, systemically derping the last specks of intelligence and rational thinking out of existence. http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2007/07/images/20070724-3_d-0368-3-348v.jpg
everything and everyone will be like him....

Reminded me of this movie:


Idiocracy got everything right.

Hard-copy media will be made entirely redundant, and fibre optics and national wifi coverage will be planned for the developed world.
A new super-disease will rise and fall.
I will hopefully start a full-time job.

Spoiler: Joke answers

Cylons will attack, The T virus will be created, Bruce Forsyth and the Queen will finally die, CSI will finally get canceled after 22 series, The Nerevarine will return, they will find a cure for ginger hair, everyone in Essex will get genetically modified to look and act like actual humans, Gorrila Grodd will take over all of New Jersey and most of Connecticut, Moms friendly robot company will be founded, Jenna Elfman will die her hear red, Die Hard 1 will actually happen, Howard Wollowitz will finally move out of his moms house, all Canadians will be able to fly, the dominant religion will be Dane Cook-ism, JK Rowling will have enough money to declare her house in independent nation which will be the richest country in the world, Nintendo will have released 30 more consoles and still none of them will be any better than the original DS, San Francisco will sink into the sea, the average weight for humans will be 30 stone, Anime will be the only thing on TV, EA will become a PMC and invade the Netherlands, SWTOR will finally have had enough patches to actually become good, McDonald's will start selling sushi, women will stop shaving their legs, Jet packs will become the normal mode of transport, Feed Dump will run out of hats.

But as a real answer, very little. Probably not much will change in only 10 years.

However there will be flying cars. Seriously, I just saw this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17626818 'Flying cars' that are actually just planes and don't really in any way resemble a car have been around for years but this one is slightly more car ish.
