Topic #124: Make a prediction about life in 2021. Look back at life in 2001 and what you remember thinking 2011 would be like. Compare it to what actually happened. Use that to help you think about predicting something about 2021.

Back in 2001, I was a third grader in elementary school and I don’t think I even thought about what life would be like at all. Of course, I thought about what I would be like, and I was curious if I would get accepted into a good university and get good grades, but I didn’t really think about how my environment would influence me.

I think that in 2021, the exponential rise in developing technology will have reached such a high point that most people will be employed as people either maintaining machinery or attempting to create better machinery. There will most likely be such a lack of available job openings that the unemployment rate will soar. In an attempt to become more competent, people will probably stay in school longer and put more effort into expanding their knowledge, but they will not have enough opportunities to put their learned knowledge to use.

Auto-Correct Fail of the Day

I don’t even remember taking this screenshot, but I found it saved in my iPod Touch so I decided to put it up here.

Keeping Track

I mentioned a while back that I was going to stop doing my “So Far in 2011” section and create a new “Keeping Track” section. I asked my readers to submit suggestions for what I should keep track of in my blog, and my favorite and the most realistic suggestion I got was to keep track of the amount of space I’m using on my hard drives.

If you have any additional suggestions, feel free to send them to me via email or by using the contact form on my website.

Local Drive: 48.5 of 402 GB
