This century, next century... What's the big difference?

First of all, I am absolutely certain that I will never "accidentally freeze myself" and also, freezing yourself has not been proven to work. So... Ignoring the logistics of this situation, what do I think the world will be like in 100 years? There will be some huge differences, obviously, and politics, economics, and leisure activities will evolve and adapt to fit the new society. This is all assuming we life to see 2112. There's always the possible "end of the world" scenario. At some point in the future, although it may not be in the next 100 years, there WILL be an apocalyptic disaster. Whether is a weapon, disease, or natural disaster, our world will be utterly changed. Few will survive, and those that do will be forced to start from scratch to rebuild society. If I were unfrozen in the midst of this aftermath, I would be terrified and filled with sorrow for those who had died. I would be forced to put my fear and pain aside, however, in order to help rebuild the human race and create a new society in which humans will help each other through the use of their previous knowledge and skills. Hopefully, this apocalypse is a long way away, but it will happen. And also, I would not like to be frozen in a hunk of ice for 100 years. First, it would be cold. Second, I would be completely unaware and defenseless. Third, most of my friends and family would be dead or would have forgotten me... That, my friends, is a sad thought indeed.
