US: 2011

In 2111 the US will look extremely different. The US has been broken more down into regions of communities with a small central government, borders are not important. Most families have only one child and will live in small, communal houses. The world population has not decreased substantially but is not exponentially growing. Cities have become much smaller, only used for centers of the government and industry. Stores and all other similar buildings still exist but they share much smaller spaces and only supply necessities for living that people do not want to make at home. Food is grown sustainably, with only small sections for agriculture and the all other food is found in nature. Wind and solar power will provide energy for all technology. All wasteful machines, such as washer machines, will be eliminated. Water will be recycled within each house and will be used as minimally as possible. All consumer products are created to last a very long time and completely recyclable. Everyone will telecommute to work, unless they work is the service industry. Transportation is all public and powered by alternative fuel. Bicycles are used as well, most of Americans are not obese any more. I do not really believe this will all actually happen in 100 years. I do think many of these changes are possible and some can start now.
