>Most of Africa will be First World (Fully Developed)
that's extremely optimistic lol, most african countries will be still changing dictators and "democratically elected governments" every couple of months like they do now

>Two Major Superpowers would dominate Asia
Who? Perhaps China, but I don't see anyone else going anywhere.
>The Internet will be bigger than it is now
You mean: more restricted and under complete government surveillance?
>Self-Driving Cars will be a thing
I find that pretty boring myself desu, it's gonna be huge for trucks and taxis though.
>The US would have High-Speed Railways connecting Major Cities
GJ, everyone else already has that.
>Most of Africa will be First World (Fully Developed)
lel
>The First Humans would colonise Mars
Not gonna happen.
life 14 years ago isn't so different from now with the exception of smartphone
it'll be pretty much the same for 2030
due to the meme of the internet of things more resources are devoted to invention is biased towards by "new-ness" rather than by necesity and drives towards a consumerist dystopia

Perhaps 2060 would look like what you said, but definitely not 2030.

IoT is retarded, but I feel as if the Internet is playing a much bigger and more important role in our life than before. We have immediate, sometimes even livestreamed access to current events, politicians communicate their opinions via Twitter, etc.
One might argue that fundamentally this is not different from before, but it changes the dynamics of things.

>self-driving cars will be a thing
Why is that a good thing? It takes all the pleasure away from driving
>>71010015
Self driving cars have proven to be more safe than when a human is behind the wheel
>>71010099
fuck safety, also would you trust a machine with your life over your instinct of survival?

Would you trust a machine with your life over an animal with an instinct of survival ?

>driving
>pleasure
I don't know what the roads, traffic, and drivers are like in Brazil, but there is no such pleasure to be had here
>>71011351
I find driving pleasurable when there's not a lot of traffic. Bumper to bumper traffic is the worst so I hate driving during rush hour or if there's a lot of snow.
