this is sorta a spin off topic from that 'predictions for 2003' topic. don't take this too seriously.
In the year 2005:
>NZ politicians will be in a mess when giant GE bees decide to target the Beehive
>Broadway will stage 'Harry Potter: the musical', following the success of 'Lord of the Rings: the musical'
>Robots will be doing 80% of our house work - and we'll be doing 90% of theirs
>People will start saying "thats a bit of a grey area' more and more as the government cracks down on coloured stuff 'cause it over stimulates children's minds
>Being 'beside yourself' will become more than just a figure of speech, as the cloning craze sets in
>Cell phones will become so small they can be used as ear plugs at those noisy gigs
>the side effects of cellphone use will become apparent as everybody loses their sense of direction all at once. People will give up and call the Poles top and bottom pole, and the North Island will be Top Island and the South Island Bottom Island, etc etc
thats all i can think of at the moment. I know they're not very good, but i'm in a random mood, and hopefully they'll make someone laugh. Does any1 have any more?

>Smart houses (the ones that control the fridge temperature, light switches etc) will lock their inhabitants inside & turn on their ovens & burn them all down. For fun. Because they can.

Yeah, that's really horrible. Sorry if my thing is too insensitive about that, but I thought of it years ago when Time Magazine was doing a thing about smart houses & appliances.
>Artificially intelligent (maybe flying) cars will get depressed (as people do) & drive themselves (and their inhabitants) off cliffs.

-Scientists will create 'smart' spandex biking shorts, which will not allow themselves to be worn out in public by anyone not on a bicycle.
-Trailer homes, when lived in, will actually make people smarter and more attractive.
-Evolution will progress to the point where babies will be able to turn people inside out just by squinting at them. Everyone will start being very very careful around babies.

Aha! I reckon the dearth of flying cars is due to the fact that people found it's easier to connect virtually rather than physically. Instead of moving in the techanogical direction predicted by 60's and 70's sci-fi flicks and earlier novels, we've made extraordinary techanogical leaps in communications instead. The internet is our real-life equivalent of flying cars.
Unfortunately, the internet is probably more likely than flying cars to start developing a life of its own, and ultimately turn against mankind when it realises that we are nowt but a virus on the itchy skin of the planet. And then an American giant with a big gun will have to rescue the whole world, with the help of a renegade scientist with a weird pseudo-pommy accent who looks remarkably like Sandra Bullock, who's been predicting this outcome for the last two years, but not before all the annoying corporate pigdogs who refused to listen to her, and most of the rest of humanity have been wiped out.

Ach, that's the wrong research programme anyway. They have already managed to teleport an atom, its only a matter of time they'll be sticking poor old myshkin into a disused culvert with a matter transmitter and seeing if they can send him to Shannon electronically.

there will be a world war on and because of it the world record industry will shut down, as no records will sell courtesy of kaazaa, winMx etc and no bands will be able to tour for money because of bomb threat hence destroying the music we love and cherish.

here is my attempt as nostradamus 101 over the next 2 years
A - terrorist attack in LA MAJOR loss of life. (i can see it making 9/11 look like a tea-party)
B - America will win Iraq, but not after it has brought the Middle east on the brink of destruction. Thousands dead in Israel in just one day alone
C - The Assassination of George Bush, Possibly in Early June 2003.
D - Terrorist attack in Auckland, 140-200 dead, I Have envisioned the Sky-Tower as a target, although Viaduct basin cannot be ruled out. Indonesian Cell of Al-Qaida (Jemaah Islamiyah??) will be to blame, If new Zelaand doesnt avenge these attacks riots will break out in the streets, i can see many dead in them this will force Helen Clark to call an early election - our next PM could very well be Winston Peters, who will avenge the terrorists anyhow.
Lets hope im wrong, but it could very well happen.
