From thestacker.com

Some are conventional wisdom we've heard for some time:

Temperatures will be hotter.
Women will increase their population margin over men.
Fewer people will live in rural areas.
The US GDP will fall to No.3 behind China and India
A majority of the population will be non-white.
Spanish will be the most widely spoken language.

Some are pretty bizarre:

Ground travel between cities will be in high-speed pods at 700 mph.
Tall building could be self-contained cities rising 18 miles high.
Laborers will work in robotic suits giving them super-human strength. (Somebody's been watching too much Ironman.)
Few people will die of cancer.
More people will ski. ( I suppose to get a break from all that heat.)
