2021 predictions & beyond
This post covers general predictions for 2021 through 2117 (which I doubt we’ll be around to validate).
Please note that some of the referenced articles are in French. Also, in some cases, a category may be broken down by country or region if there are many predictions so as to make them easier to navigate for you.
