I just came back from 2057. Everything is hunky-dory.
There are no more cars. Everyone rides around in flying carpets made in China (some things never change). No parking problem: when you get to your destination, you just roll up your carpet and stuff it in your back-pack. There seems to be some carpet-envy among classes, though.
Airplanes are gone too. Replaced by my son's invention: the Teleporter. They finally fixed the lost luggage problem - no luggages allowed. Some people arrive without an arm or a leg, though. They're working on it. The patch will be released in Windows Service Pack 3 billion.
The land bridges have reappeared, thanks to the so called global warming (who'da thunk that?!). Much more land all over the world now. New countries, that used to all be under ice. We're running out of flags to plant on these new land masses to declare it ours.
Hawaii is the largest state in the USACM (United States of America, Canada & Mexico). The freaking volcanoes haven't stopped spewing lava and the land mass kept on growing. The Japanese are complaining from all the smoke and volcanic ash. Halliburton is figuring out a way to plug the freakin' things.
The rat overpopulation is gone. They're being eaten by cockroaches and mosquitos the size of cats. The animal activists are demanding more powerful guns to kill off the cockroaches and mosquitos to protect the endangered rats.
Food taste like chicken. You can order any size, shape or color of the "miracle meat". It still tastes like chicken. There's even chicken-flavored ice cream?!
I could go on and on. But overall, everything is great!

PS. mpope409 is right. john_starks : you're still alive. Err,... kind of alive. Through some fantastic scientific medical breakthrough, the government is keeping you "alive" until they can sort out the paperwork.
Basically, you had some inconsistencies in your will. The liars (i.e. lawyers - yes, they've finally corrected the spelling.) can't figure it all out. And the blood-sucking politicians (told you some things never change) got in on the act. So basically, you are still.... "alive".... all your five senses work, ... you can feel pain, the danged itchiness, hunger, etc... but can't do squat about it - you can't move an inch.
Correction: you CAN move your eyeballs. Up for "yes", down for "no". Side-to-side for "What the !@#$%^& !" .... which you seem to be doing a lot lately.
By the way, the winning lottery numbers for 50 gajillion turkish dollars are: ...........
