2057

This is a documentary about what life and technology will be like 50 years from now. I liked this. You guys might think it's possibly overly-optimistic, which it is, and maybe kind of cheesy at times, which it is. But overall, pretty cool stuff. Just a teaser: a "space elevator"; soldiers with armor that makes them invisible; robots; and medical advances like growing your own new heart, are all included. What's missing: how about nanotech stuff, brain implants, and terraforming of Mars? Anyway, still good. I liked how they incorporate current technological advances as a way to "ground" what they predict will happen in 2057. Also like the little drama vignettes, though cheesy as they are at times.
