In the future, those dissatisfied with their physical characteristics will schedule a visit to their mutician, to have their appearance and capabilities altered via surgically-attached adaptive grafts and invasive regeneing therapies.
In the future, you'll be heading to the emergency room when the computer in your head crashes. Better read the licensing argeement!
In the future, some will choose to dispense with physical bodies entirely, in favor of some other thing that your hot prognosticators don't all seem to be entirely in agreement on what it will be, but let me tell you, they better clear that shit up first before they go dispensing with the physical bodies!
In the future, war will be fought by tiny tiny robots on a battlefield no bigger than a postage stamp - and that war will decide the fate of the world for the entire forthcoming year. Then they will do it again the next year. That's how they'll be settling things.
In the future, people will still be arguing whether aliens, or God, or time travel exists - but by then Bigfoot will have been pretty much ruled out.
In the future, sex will continue to be a popular form of recreation, but babies will be looked at more as cute pets that eventually grow into actual people.
I hope I'm not freaking you out too much!
In the future, a man will pour himself a drink that would be completely illegal today - but thanks to advances in science and personal freedoms, nobody will care, and it will be completely safe, and his own business.
In the future, marijuana will be the main cash crop of the former big tobacco companies. It will come in neat packs of filtered marijuana cigarettes, treated with all the same flavoring and preservative agents that are made available to tobacco users today. Tobacco use will also flourish. Cancer, however, will have been abolished - by a radical and surprising advance in an unexpected field! Eugenics.
In the future, a woman will rule us all. Her name will be Claudetta Colson-Braxtow. She will be the unified head of the one-world triune government.
In the future, there will be three governments that will each overlap all portions of the earth. Citizens will vote every 4 years as to which government will have jurisdiction over their individual person. It will seem like the simplest and best system to them, even though it sounds stupid and weird to our modern ears.
In the future, vegetarians will expand their diets to include substances now considered inedible, such as limestone, driftwood, and silt. These substances will be rendered nutritious by a miracle additive whose secret ingredient is known to absolutely no one. It's completely secret. No one will know what it is. Conspiracists will hint that the miracle additive itself contains something that the vegetarians might object to, if only the truth were known. But it will not be known. The secret will keep dragging on and on for years, decades - forever.
In the future, money will still exist, but it will be based on a quantum iteration of the global production output. Due to the instability and volatility of the medium, everyone will be rich one day, poor the next. More or less.
OK, that's all for the future! Now aren't you glad you live now?

Hm I am thinking that this all sounds like a fine future. Muticians, miniature robot wars, and driftwood for dinner. What's wrong with that? Nothing. That's what.
I think it's mostly the people who can't handle change, who will be complaining.
