  Welcome to the Listening Time podcast.

• 00:03

  Hey everybody, this is Connor and you're listening to episode 162 of the Listening Time podcast.

• 00:11

  I hope you're all doing fantastic today.

• 00:14

  I'm a little bit tired because I just came back from a run, so hopefully I'm not too out of breath to record this episode.

• 00:25

  By the way, the phrase out of breath refers to when you're having trouble breathing because you're really tired.

• 00:35

  Your lungs are working really hard, like right after you run, for example.

• 00:41

  So I hope I'm not too out of breath, but you might be able to hear me breathing a little bit harder than normal.

• 00:50

  But I'm ready for today's episode.

• 00:53

  This time, we're going to talk about life in the future.

• 00:57

  So I thought it would be a fun idea to do an episode about some predictions that I'll make about what life might be like in the future, maybe a few decades from now or so.

• 01:15

  And so these are just guesses.

• 01:19

  I'm sure I'll be wrong on a lot of these, but I think it's a fun idea to just imagine what things will be like if they continue with the way they're going right now.

• 01:36

  All the trends that we're seeing, remember that a trend is like a tendency towards some direction, okay?

• 01:47

  So there can be fashion trends.

• 01:51

  There can be trends in a certain sphere of business or whatever.

• 01:58

  So I'll predict what things might look like if our current trends continue into the future.

• 02:08

  So this should be a fun one, and I hope you find it interesting.

• 02:13
