All right, so we did okay the last time around doing this, let's guess 2030 and check back in ten years to see how we did.
*Despite The Rise of Skywalker being billed as the definitive end of the Skywalker Saga, we’re going to get Episode X before decade’s end, revealing that Luke has a few Force kids produced from various one-night stands. Also, people will slowly come around to The Last Jedi and realize it's pretty darn good.
*The Dems will get their own Trump in the form of President Kanye West in 2024.
*iPhones will ditch Lightning ports in 2021, all buttons by 2024, screens by 2028, and will operate as thought crystals like that recent episode of Rick and Morty.
*Queen Elizabeth will still be on the throne and will have outlived Charles.
*Netflix will win the streaming wars because doing a Disney & Chill won’t really catch on.
*After the success of the MCU crossovers will be all the rage. The Fast and the Furious Meets Jurassic Park will be a thing. So will Lethal Weapon Meets Die Hard. And something totally bizarre like Crazy Rich Asians Meet Harry Potter.
*The media industry will collapse after most people decide they’re more interested in watching YouTube vloggers and amusing dogs on Instagram than professional movies and TV shows.
*Dating apps will make us so loose that sexy times on the first date won’t be considered trampy as long as it was a really good first date.
*Early 2000s nostalgia will be a thing.
*Bitcoin will hit $1 million at some point. Or nothing. One or the other.
*George RR Martin will still be working on ASOIAF.
