Future

1. The Open Culture article is talking about the predictions of Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. Most of their predictions are revolved around the world of science.  In the BBC article they talked about some of the predictions in the day to day life. Some of the predictions are Mobile phones and pre-prepared meals. In the mental floss article they talk about things such as roofed cities and undersea ships.
2. I think that the open culture article was more of a wish list but the BBC and the Mental Floss articles are more what will happen.
3. Some predictions that came true are the flying machine, pre-prepared  food, mobile phones, and Tanks.
4. In a lot of these lists, most of the predictions are revolved around space travel, while some predictions that are true revolve around day to day life. 
5. For me, I think within the next 100 years humans will have been to Mars and started creating a civilization. I also think that the self driving car will become a more reliable and realistic thing. I also believe that virtual reality will become a more common thing in the day to day life. Personally I believe that money will also become almost useless. 
6. I think that humans have some control over the future. However, Humans will only have control if the choose too. People can dream a great idea, but it will always be a dream until reality takes it. Institutions and government will have some control on what can and will be invented.
