      There is no knowing as progress in science seems exponential! I would hope that the medicine has become more personalized as not only is every disease different but every person has different reactions to each diseases – so why are most people currently still get the same treatment?

      So hard to say. I don’t think that anyone could have predicted the internet 100 years ago. Or mobile phones. Or modern medical techniques. Predicting the future is beyond me anyway! I think areas to watch are materials science and nanotechnology.

      Oh very good question! I think we’ll get fusion power as a virtually limitless, carbon free energy source. In the meantime we’ll hopefully minimise climate change and maybe even reverse some of the bad effects with a bit of geoengineering. I think we’ll set up a permanent base on the moon, and maybe even on Mars. There are lots of things that will happen too that are impossible to predict!
