Last week, my PC decided to give up the ghost on me. What does this have to do with the future I hear you ask? Well, as a back-up, my flat-mate dug out his iMac (circa 1999), and it got me thinking. The design, software and functionality of it seemed ancient when compared to modern Macbooks, yet there has only been 13 years in between the two. What then would the world be like in 100 years of further technological advancement, human expansion and, inevitably, depleting resources? How would buildings look, what would we be eating, how would we get around, and would we still be here?

In 100 years, the earth will be a very different and probably unrecognizable place. With the Russians suggesting that human immortality is only 45 years away, the human population exploding at an unmanageable rate, and the livability of vast areas of our planet decreasing by the year, Earth is in dire need of some radical change!
