50 years from now: Big brains have big ideas for what lies ahead - 20 PREDICTIONS FOR 2058

from the prediction we read today online (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/books/365088_future30.html?source=rss), i think the author of the book overreacted the list he did about how things will be in 50 years from now. the prediction that most chocked me was number 18 in which he says people, practically, won't be allowed to touch each other. seem absurd what he is saying and i don't agree with most of the predictions he did, not they are not going to happen, but i don't agree with the creation of many of the things he says, such as the technologies that will be available to detect lies of anyone we meet in the street. By ruling the world with technology we will lose everything that is natural in our world, which we are already doing, but i expect that something will happen before we get to such conditions in which no living being has any privacy or life of its own.
