If we told all our readers that they are going to get laid this year, we'd be right nine times out of ten. However, since we're not trusted authorities on sex or anything, perhaps you would prefer a more trusted source of completely irrational predictions.
The Futurist magazine, published by the World Future Society, which "investigates how social, economic and technological developments are shaping the future," claims that 2009 is the year we will all be having lots of hot action...
According to the Futurists (and excerpts from their magazine published by News.com.au), one of the predictions for the year is:
"Americans may turn away from antidepressants."
According to the
anthropologist who made this call, the 100-million antidepressant
prescriptions Americans take "kill the sex drive" but many may quit
taking them, one surmises, so they can participate in the general
randiness of women having more economic power.
...based on no evidence whatsoever. Yeah, knowing how bad the economy is going, we seriously doubt Americans will choose 2009 as the year to give up taking prescription drugs (although, since they're all out of work, they may not be able to afford "luxury" purchase like pharmaceuticals.) Other psychic moments:
"Everything you say and do may be recorded."
Creepy, unless you think about the fact that you Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, blog, text, and e-mail everyone all day-- in which case, you realize you are your own Big Brother.
"Retirees will increasingly return to the work force."
"Flying cars may be on the way at last."
"Increases in the Earth's temperature, no matter how slight, could trigger global mayhem and destruction."
The
Amazon rain forest would become a desert, the glaciers would disappear
and, "conflict over scarce resources would most likely cause human
civilisation to collapse".
Enjoy our time on Earth while it lasts, you sex fiends!
