I read with interest ‘futurologist’ Richard Watson’s predictions for the next fifty years. So if you’re a technologist, or just wondered what life will be like in 2045, take a look at his book or the article here

Interesting technological developments he believes will come in include 3D printers, mindwipes, wallpaper that plays videos and invisibility cloaks. Some of the following aren’t exactly technological developments but I felt they deserved a mention. Apparently
the idea of ugliness will disappear, as will death, money, Bangladesh, saying sorry and getting lost. So there you go, I guess we’ll have to wait and see whether this was a great insight, or just an overactive imagination.
