I know the Space habitation will happen if Elon Musk's endeavours come to
fruition.  Also prior to the current pandemic (it's real, it's everywhere). It
was briefly in the news that either China or Japan (I don't clearly recall)
said they would debut their flying car at the 2020 summmer Olympics.  Not sure
if it's still going to happen, but I said if you could get Google to work with
them you'd have the worlds first ever driverless flying car.  I'd buy one!  I'm
53, never learned to drive, and now that I'm going blind the government has
sent me a notice saying I'm not allowed to get a drivers license even if I
wanted one.  I see for the near future more advancements in bio-cybernetics.  I
heard a news report about a 'bionic' eye that gives blind people the ability to
see normally again.  I've seen videos of robotic artifical arms that when worn,
read the nerve impulses where the nerves end and can react like a real arm.  I
once read that they figure the first person who will reach the age of 125 has
already been born.  I would like to see a world wide dismantling of all nukes
and bio weapons, as well as production and of medicines to no longer being done
by private companies.  I think those companies could focus more on the research
end of it.  But live saving medication should never be too expensive and the
choice over food/rent/medicine should never have to be made again.  

My hope for our kids is that they get to live in the utopia we only see in
movies.
