I want my house cleaning robot!

And my undersea resort!

I want my MTV!










Oh wait...

Plus the article totally failed to mention the significance of Bacon in modern society.

Let's see if we can do any better.

Write down your predictions for 2048.

Here's mine.

1. Broadcast television and radio will no longer exist. All content will be distributed on demand over a super fast wireless Internet connection.

2. IBM will replace Microsoft as primary supplier of PC operating systems.

3. A gallon of gas will cost $20.

4. Soccer will be the #1 sport in the U.S.

5. A "big foot" family will be found living in Irvine. All six of them are registered republicans.

6. A strange disease will wipe out all dogs and cats forcing people to adopt monkeys as pets. Chaos follows.

I could have sworn I'd posted in this thread this morning, but apparently it didn't take and I don't want to rewrite it.

Maybe that Big Foot family had something to do with it...

by 2048 Disney will have built Disneyland Sydney, thus making certain Bears very happy :D ..... of course, said Bears will be 83, thus limiting trips on the wilder rides... :(

Actually, they will have built this by 2010 instead. :D

Well, I see that Fantasyland is already open.

I seem to remember reading that a Japanese company had paid Disney for the rights to build Tokyo Disneyland. Is this true? If so, couldn't an Australian company do the same?

If built, would it be successful? Australia is about the same size as the 48 states, but has fewer people than Southern California. I think it would be hard to break even, let alone make a profit.
