Hi.
I believe that one day a simple Governor from a small Southern state will rise to the highest office in the land. He will lack political skill, but will lead on the sheer strength of his moral authority.
I believe that Justice will prevail and, one day, the Berlin Wall will crumble, uniting East and West Berlin forever under Communist rule.
I believe that one day, a high speed network of interconnected computers will spring up world-wide, so enriching people that they will lose their interest in idle chit chat and pornography.
And finally, I believe that one day I will have a television show on a major network, seen by millions of people a night, which I will use to re-enact crimes and help catch at-large criminals.
prognostication from Conan O'Brien, of course ....
Projections please..

Hi.
i'll make some less bold predictions, also related to energy and the environment:
5 years:
LED lighting becomes widely available, dramatically reducing building energy loads
hybrid car sales surpass conventional autos
10 - 15 years:
fiber-optic daylighting and transparent concrete become cheap and widely available, ushering in a new era of architecture.
25 - 35 years:
nanotechnology architecture becomes reality
