I googled the phrase "life in the year 2050" and found these rathering
amusing links about the subject.  I think people tend to be
over-optimistic when prognosticating about the future.  I run into
predictions that may be reality by 2100, but probably not in 2050.

I liked the "pop out your brain when you go to the airport" idea.  ; )
