I went away and saw a vision of the future (Dubai) and another (Malaysia). Having aggregated and synthesized the data, I'd say the future will look like this:

• It will be more humid
• It will be quite poorly planned/zoned
• The battle against entropy will continue, using both ingenuity and brute force
• People will be mostly happy
• Demography will do funny things e.g. blow up in our face, undermine our assumptions
• Historical grudges will not be solved (that's an easy prediction to make, right?)
• There will be more laptops (another easy one), even as phones improve (less easy)
• Indian cuisine will prevail over all others
• It is not clear which technology will prevail for the opening of soft drink cans

Honestly, do you think any of those predictions will be wrong?
