The Future

In the future I see the end of the united states as we know it. It will become either more socialist or more fascist over time. Before this I guess there will be more wars that will try to reinvigorate the capitalist society we live in now. I don't presume that this will work and in this militaristic tradition's final years hate and fighting will find no more enemies outside of our borders and turn in on itself. This might be starting now as far as I see it. The destruction that we do to ourselves during this period will allow for our country to fall apart into smaller pieces that will only be united through more violence. All the while technology will become even more international and those tech companies will slip out from beneath the control of countries as the countries themselves fall apart. As far as the technology itself I believe that in ten years we will have fully commercial virtual reality and in twenty we will have a base level of automation in public places. This means automated cashiers and the such. I'm not saying that they will work well but they will be there. The loss of jobs will continue with the automation of tasks and poverty will rise as well as crime. Drugs will only become more powerful and countries will give up the war against them out of a lack of funds and care. In a hundred years the geography of nationality will be completely different. Countries as we know them will not exist. There will most likely be more countries and they will be smaller in size. This is my general view on the future.
