Predictions for the Coming 10-20 Years: Attention spans decrease to <4 seconds. Education utilizes gamified curriculums as a means to stop unruly behaviour. Social media reward systems fry brain receptors hyper-addicts, that can only function with max stimulus.

Fatigue, mental illness and bad nutrition accelerate further and public meltdowns become common, weekly, daily occurrences. First 100,000+ wipeout from chem-resistant superstrain. Beaches become horrible adult-infant playgrounds.

As more and more 'violent' tools/weapons get banned, people will begin to use more innovative methods of attack. Though we're already seeing this: Cars, fireworks etc. Anything can become an innovative source of pain, method of defense in the hands of an ape.
