20 PREDICTIONS FOR 2058

1. We'll all know our personal DNA sequencing, allowing medical treatments and health-prevention strategies to be tailored to our genetic profiles.

2. Life spans will reach triple digits as we learn to reprogram cells to compensate for failing organs.

3. Five to 10

My gramps had hime beat. He was 80, and the company forced him to. They made folks tuffer back then.

O' and another thing, cats have also been co-habiting with humans forever. They were and still are used as rodent control.

Bah! Cats have only been with humans for a mere 10,000 years. Physical evidence of dogs goes to 16,000 and genetic evidence to 100,000.

I really don't like some of these predictions. I don't see the benefit to triple digit lifespans, particularly in the current and predicted economic environment (prediction 2).

Predictions 7 & 13 just give me the willies. Government approving marriages/children & knowing every movement and thought? No Way! Eep! Maybe I'm an anarchist.
