The Future

 

When I was in elementary school, as best as I can recall, I looked at the future in terms of holidays and summertime.

When I was in high school, my future was the weekends and what we were going to do, where we were going to do it, and with whom.

When I was in college, my future was either the end of the semester or graduation from college.

During my working career, my future was vacations and the next level of advancement.

At sixty, my future was retirement and once I retired my future was my next doctor's appointment.

Have you thought about YOUR FUTURE and what it might entail?

Let me help you with that...

1. There will be a change in social security that will not favor the retiree
2. Humanoid AI Robots will soon be replacing jobs as early as 2030 or sooner
3. There will be an end to the middle class and the millionaires and billionaires will increase in size
4. Wage/inflation spiral will continue to work against the middle class employee
5. China will become more powerful with a goal of controlling the global economy
6. The global economy will shift towards the east forever changing the US Economy
7. College degrees will be worthless, being replaced by certificates of knowledge competence
8. Obesity will continue to be a problem for Americans

My thoughts are that many of these predictions will really start to manifest themselves between 2025 and 2030.  My future ideas are predicated upon the articles I have been reading on Google News and watching the global news daily.

Most Americans do not think about the future, just what is directly in front of them and it is also true that many people just take life one day at a time, not giving much thought to the future unless it pertains to a vacation and being forced to book it in advance to make sure you get the week you want.
