Future in 2050

I'm going to go out on a limb and make some predictions. I've been doing this for awhile under different pen names, so this is nothing new to me. First I have to set it up, by telling a story of how me and my friends would sit around and postulate the future. This would happen in a computer class I had, back in high school.(RPG), which is an "industrial" computer language. The teacher who taught us this language also taught a turbo pascal class after R.P.G., so these guys would come in after us and then after that class it would be lunch, so during lunch we were allowed to come back in and use the computers. So there would be a whole bunch of computer geeks in the room. Naturally great discussions would progress about the future of computers, and the like. Now this is all occured back in the early eighties, so the "inter-net" was in its infancy.
I would get alot of my information from a magazine that no longer exists, but to this day I can still remember some of the articles I read over twenty years ago. Not to a T, but the gest of what "they" wrote, I remembered. The Weird thing is alot of what this magazine wrote about is coming to pass, and that magazine is called Omni. Omni Magazine.
So basically alot of the stuff we see on Star Trek will come to pass. Replicators, androids, space travel, bio-computer interface. Whats gonna happen is that we will find the secrets of "perpetual motion", so the engergy problem will be solved. We will find the "elixir" of life, or something pretty dam close to it, so that the mankind will experience virtual imortality. The future is gonna be spent on more of the aesthetic aspects of reality. That is Spirituality, the arts, and sciences. Its going to be another age of enlightenment. I'm thinking this will occur in my lifetime. My guess I give it fifteen to twenty years. I'm forty now. If I can live to see sixty, I'll live to see eternity.
The main issues we have today thats hindering mankind is an issue of energy. Once we solve this its going to bust wide open, I predict a wild card is in the mix and it will come in the form of what they call ,room tempeture ,superconducting magnets.
