100 Years

A lot can happen in 100 years, especially with the rate at which technology is changing. A hundred years from now I believe we will have scary smart computers and that everyone will own a computer of some sort because they will be so cheap a hundred years from now. All school assignments will be required to be typed, and most will most likely require being submitted as well. Since math assignments are harder to type out, those will be done on a touch screen device so that students will be able to write out the problems like they would on paper. Paper will rarely be used a hundred years from now. With all the Go Green movements and technological advances combined, paper will become so outdated that only artists will continue to use it.
I have a feeling that a hundred years from now the US will probably be drilling oil from inside the nation, sadly. I hate the idea of us drilling here, but most likely we'll still need fossil fuels a hundred years from now although hopefully better technology will be made and other resources will be found to lessen our dependency on oil and coal.
By the end of the next century I think that all of the wars the US are currently involved in will be over, but new ones will take their places. I don't imagine world peace happening in the next hundred years, but I also don't think world peace will ever really exist when humanity constantly creates conflict.
Besides the important changes though, I have a feeling that the words considered "curse words" now will no longer be thought of as bad. Those words are so common with those of our generation that in a few decades, very few of us will consider them bad anymore. I don't personally use them, but I hear them so frequently that even I have become desensitized to it.
