What will the world be like in 20 years?

With all of this social media and technology at our hands, what will the world be like in 20-30 years once my generation has control? Just a sidebar I'm 15 years old and a freshman in high school.

Whilst the survivors in the Southern hemisphere are wrangling over measures to prevent just such future happenings, hundreds of gangs of thieves will be busy tunnelling into the ice where banks, museums and jewellery stores once were, trying to get their hands on gold, money and invaluable relics lost to the ice. Sounds jolly, what!
