Adding on to this:
The jobs will change, it will be based on:
creativity of design of robots
programmers
and more important jobs based on robots.
There won't be much of a diversity of people anymore, genetic engineering will also affect everything.

I doubt in my life time there will be a *flying* car.

Helicopter works on the same principle as planes.
I think most people see flying cars as without rotors and being completly stable.

What if the cars had Jet or Air Plane engines instead of helicopter rotors?

Then you would have a large missile with passengers.

I think most people see flying cars as without rotors and being completly stable. | But helicopters r stable under a certain altitude.

No they're not.
They cannot fly at high altitudes because the air is too thin.

It scares me just thinking about 12 years in the future.
But at the rate my life is going, 12 years is going to be nothing, and then my parents will be dead, and i'll die and dunno.

1. slightly advanced medical care for common illness (ie cancer)
2. world population increeases by 150% (oh sh*t)
3. discovery of new diseases
4. flying would almost be public
5. citys, towns etc would grow
6. better science technology (possibly)

Bolded. Point number 4... I don't think it would happen yet. It's just a matter of 12 years from now... Unless they really worked hard on the project itself about how to fly and stuff.

I slowly destroy earth, making it small enough so that I can successfully leave it's gravitational field. | By leaving the gravitational field without equipment you will explode.

My personal view is that the world will have the few technological advances it's been deemed to get, the human race would jump from our .32 to the .35 patch, and Satanism would be more widespread.
