What's Going to happen this century?

Imagine that you are living in 1918 how would you think the rest of the century was going to go?

Could you ever in a million years have predicted jet travel of millions across all continents or food being shipped all over the world in passenger planes and cargo planes?

No. Most people in 1918 couldn't have thought this way. Besides in 1918 more U.S. soldiers had just died from Spanish flu in a worldwide pandemic than had died in all of World War I.

If you told them about World War II or nukes going off in Japan or Hitler or Tojo they would have called you "nuts" then. But it all still happened.

Likewise what will actually happen is beyond 99% of the people of the world to ever imagine.

For example, imagine in 1918 someone saying that Predator Drones fired hellfire missiles and that the Predator could also fly by itself if contact was lost and take off and land by itself if it needed to?

What would someone in 1918 do with that information?

It would go right over their heads.

It's exactly like that now too.
