Average human life span will increase by another 10 years

vastly more helpful educational programs: (40-140 years)
-average person knowing more about how things work up to date. (i fear that if we keep making new breakthroughs at the rate we have been the majority of people are going to have even more gadgets and tools without knowing or caring to know how they work. we are already in a time where there are amazing findings taking place all the time and few people seem to care about it. we live in a truly amazing time and too many people don't appreciate it enough.)
-less focus on tests and more focus on pure knowledge/imagination
-better communication
-encouraging people to stretch their imagination rather than bottom feed and insert facts
-tap into the true potential of our brains and apply that to education
-keep childhood wonder

(this is probably before we can mechanically alter ourselves significantly)
