You won't need a drivers license by 2040.
I'll be 73 in 2040.. I'll be lucky if I make it to that age. :)
My guess is that we'll all have radio transmitter ID tags implanted under our skins just like Fido and Suze the cat. It'll have our special
20-digit ID number that identifies ourselves to any agency in the world that wants to know. It outta make renting a car a simple procedure. There won't be any crime because the government is gonna know where we are and what we're doing at all times. As you say, you might be dead in 2040 - that is, if you're lucky! :-)
It's not like present trends showing we'll be living a freer place so it probably will mean being tagged like livestock.
"Tagged like livestock" is not a very nice way to put it. Mostly, we'll be the government's pets. :-)
We will all have implanted rfid tracking chips by then. No chip = no job, no food.
livestock is the appropiate term.
pets are kept for enjoyment. Livestock are kept to do work and/or produce a product.
It's appropriate alright, my point was that it's not a nice way to put it.
We're being corraled as we speak. In 2040, the gate will be locked. The interim step: a cashless society. And a multi-lingual society -- so's no one can effectively communicate. Listen to the announcements in HD. The powers-dat-be are having a ball.
