Here's the full list of this week's predictions for the future. Three of the five seem to touch on personal freedoms — actually, four out of five if you count the freedom of children to play with robots. And come to think of it, that definitely counts. It will be interesting to see whether this trend persists in coming weeks, or whether other vital trends (such as neon-toned zoo animals) take a dominant role.
In the Future...
...it will be illegal for British teenagers make out.
...you will need to show a photo ID in order to buy batteries or a quart of milk.
...the barriers will be lifted, and children and robots will be free to play together once again.
...polar bears will come in a wide variety of colors, not just the white and purple available today.
...free speech protection will be extended to include commentary on the President's knees.
That does it for this week. Thanks for dropping by. And until next time, I'll see you in the future.
