I see it being quite likely that the US will be more of a class country than ever before. An acknowledged class order.
The poor will be back to horses or bicycles or maybe scooters for transport. Life will be much more regional because of transportation issues. The wealthy will be *weathly* and will be global.
I think there may be a resurgance of small family farms and small villages/towns. But there will also be large cities where the wealthy live and the poor work.
I see education in a university setting as being for wealthy or extremely gifted (scholarship) only, but also think that basic education will be free to everyone because of the availability of material on the net.
It seems quite possible to me that non-sanctioned thoughts, experiments, will be prohibited leading to a "counter-culture" of varying degrees as well as a secret government holding for those counter thoughts the government is interested in pursuing with tight control.

I envy you Americans with your secret stockpiles of weapons.

Sorry to anyone 28 years or older for my rude statement. It's just when you're 18, 28 seems like a long way off.


28 isn't so bad (I just turned 29!). You still feel pretty much the same physically, if all goes well. Things will change a lot in your life (finishing school and getting a job or whatnot), but the feeling of being "you" probably won't change, unless you want it to. :) Odds are you'll still like the same music (plus some new stuff), the same books, games, etc.

Nothing to be afraid of, except of course being a decade closer to DEATH!
