Forecast

Onwards to predicting the future!

Through my research my prediction for human flight is the production of a non-powered flight suit that a human could actually fly with. Though it would require a little 'kick-start' - such as a drop or a jump from a height, the user could ride thermals like a bird or similar gliding creature to achieve lift. This theory is backed up by the research into wing suits in my human flight present research, which clearly shows that slight lift has already been achieved accidentally.

Jetpacks will eventually become a common product that works efficiently, if the development up to this point is anything to judge by. They are becoming more efficient, able to travel further, faster. For them to become truly successful, however, it would be better with an alternate power source, as that is the current constraint limiting development - more fuel means a bigger, heavier pack.

The future of guitars should, if history is anything to judge by, be that they are succeeded by another instrument based off of their current design. This process could be slowed down because of their popularity today - a product of instantaneous worldwide media. In the days of the lute, there was no television or Internet to show the lute in use all over the world, and fads could die out in an area much more readily. This also works as a double - edged sword, as media over-saturation could cause people to become bored with the guitar and instigate the creation of the next musical instrument fad.

Technology for guitars could lean towards the creation fo a fully elecronic guitar - strings consisting of lasers and all. These new guitars would need to be incredibly diverse in sound and advanced in design to actually take off, however, so this is more of a speculation.
