I've entered into the XPrize competition, which is where a bunch of rich, famous people and futurists allow groups, mostly brands, to pitch innovative ideas in order to win funding money.
I'm writing a short story for one of their smaller contests, where you're sent 20 years into the future, and have to describe what the world looks like. It needs to be optimistic, and use specific examples.
What kind of technological advancements do you think we'd see in 20 years based on current trends?
Because it's a time travel story, I want to use quantum computing as something that's being realized, and the next step being temporal computing, which includes time as a state, and use that to circle back to the time travel idea. Is that too far from grounded scifi?

20 years into the future?
>The very beginning of looking into "Quantum Entanglement based Communication."
>A small colony on Mars.
>Solar roadways if someone can actually get those to work.
>The first ever Fusion reactors, but in their more experimental infancy stage.
>The application of Thorium based Fission reactors in large vehicles.
>New and even more retarded political movements from all sides of politics.
>Concept cities.
I'm going from a super optimistic point of view, I honestly don't think there'll be much more beyond some better cars, cooler architecture, and improved VR headsets in 20 years; everything else will stay the same. Or, ya know, we all die in a nuclear holocaust.
