Mr. Martinho suggests . . .

When I look into the future
There is a more tolerant society and less complexes

There is a bigger need and urgency in fixing environmental problems (as they only do when it starts to affect them)

There are more openminded people and the world will be even more a global village.
There are advances in genetics and people will live longer which will generate over-population problems in some places, people will be able to work longer and in the far future when genetic mutations in humans will be less of a moral issue, it will be used for aesthetic purposes.
But there aren't any things quite like the things people used to have back in the good old days.
