Oh, indeed, the safest prediction we can make about the year 2100

contingencies of a century hence of which one can have only the
vaguest notion is the epitomy of foolishness.
So, not willing to put your money where your mouth is, eh?
Fair enough. But in 2100, when there are far more people living off
Earth than on it, if you and I are still around, I reserve the right to
say "nyah nyah!", or transmit the then-current social equivalent in
whatever form is roughly equivalent to speech.
