Future

I don't think much will change in the next 100 years. I would expect more of the same events that are happening today, just more wars, more elections, more scandals, more criminals, and more of everything else. Human behavior tends to remain constant so I wouldn't expect to see a completely different set of social, cultural, or political rules. Any changes that would occur would mostly be technological and intellectual. With the complexity of our technology now and the rapid growth and change caused by small machines and ideas like the iPhone and the internet, I would expect a whole new set of ideas and machines that have become part of everyday life. Much of this technology would be centered around environmental health since by then oil and gas would be much more expensive. The oil age of humanity will probably approach its end if no other sources of fossil fuel are found, paving the path for new energy companies to make their claim to fame in the world. Overall, I would say that the only thing that will change in 100 years will be technology, environmental standards, and energy companies, but otherwise, humans will go on doing what they have normally done for the past 2,000 years.
