What is this world/place/forum/whatever going to be like in 2030?
Nobody knows. Anybody who says he does know is just guessing.
Armageddon might happen. Then again it might not. TEOTWAWKI has been predicted so many times that only cultists following the latest guru pay any attention to the latest predictions. Nobody really knows.
Inventions not yet thought of may be in common use then. Your guess is as good as mine on that one. We have stuff today undreamed of just a few years ago, and right now they're working on projects that just might be crazy enough to work in the near future. Driverless cars for example. Maybe the flying car is coming? Don't hold your breath, we've been supposed to have flying cars for a few decades now. Still haven't got them.
Consider that from the Wright brothers' first flight in 1903, it was within the lifespan of a man to see both that event and a man walking on the Moon. Also within that timeframe, unfortunately, the same man could see atomic weapons unleashed on civilian targets, heralding the age of nuclear war.
Right now, I approach my 60th birthday next month. 15 years from now, I'll be approaching my 75th birthday-- maybe. No guarantees at my age that I see tomorrow's sunrise of course. I don't know-- but I suppose my guess is as good as anybody's.
