I predict

Within the next, oh, five years you will need to get a license to put content on the internet. This will come about via a treaty. You will need a license to view unlicensed material.

Anyone who accepts input in a forum will be held responsible for what you say. They will be required to perform do diligence to make sure you are who you say you are before allowing you to add content to the system.

The libel laws in the United States will start to resemble the libel laws in the United Kingdom.

There will be stop and search checkpoints between cities run by the government.

There will be stop and search checkpoints in front of stores run by the government.

Privacy will be redefined as whatever the government says it wants at the moment.

Every one in the U. S. will find out that our government has had a DNA database in place since the eighties that has encompassed any one they could get their hands on regardless of reason.

No one will believe anything that comes out of a scientist's mouth on any subject because we have been lied to so many times in the past. The scents crying "bad for you" simply stops meaning anything. This is already happening. This allows bad people in power to make things happen that really are bad for you and you simply say "everything is bad for me." and do it anyway. The bad people laugh all the way to the throne.

The Chinese will start mass migration in to the US and Europe. Simultaneously, they will all but eliminate migration to China.

The Higgs Boson Particle, once isolated will not solve any problems. It will simply lead to more questions and some other bit of existence that needs to be deciphered at tremendous expense to the public with basically no benefit to every day life.

People will continue to write speculative fiction and continue to laugh at past speculative fiction that got it so wrong.

People will be encouraged not to travel so much. People will be encouraged not to communicate so much. People will be obliged not to bread so much. Learning will be come far to expensive.

We will never travel to the stars as "us". It will take someone or something else to come get us and show us what to do. We will be too busy killing and controlling one another for such endeavors.

I will still be complaining even if I cannot afford the internet license to put it up for the world.
