Many Britons believe that, in 2025, men will be walking on Mars, China will have surplanted the US as the world's greatest power, King William V will be on the Throne and that, of course, technology will be a bit more advanced than it is now.
A survey of 100,000 Britons shows that a majority - 60% - of them think that China is set to surpass the US as the world's superpower.
Nearly half of Britons believe Prince William will bypass his father Prince Charles and be crowned king. Just one in six believe the monarchy will have been abolished by 2025.
Only a quarter believe that the Labour Party will be back in power by that year, and a quarter believe a brand new political party will be ruling the country.
4% of Brits think we will have sent astronauts to Mars by that year.
Also, two-thirds believe cosmetic surgery will have become common place and one in six think we will look after own own health using apps and gadgets rather than relying on the doctor.

The future King William V? Nearly half of those surveyed believe Prince William will be the monarch in 2025
Imagine waking up to a world where China is the world's leading superpower, astronauts are busy walking on Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK.
Well this could be the reality in 15 years if some of the predictions of 100,000 Britons are correct.
The massive survey asked the men and women of the UK how they pictured the world in 2025.
Nearly half believe Prince William will bypass Prince Charles to be crowned King of England although one in six think the monarchy will have been abolished.
On the world stage 60 per cent think China is set to become the world's leading superpower, while a third of us think Great Britain will be made up of four self-governed countries.
A quarter of those polled believe a new party will form the Government in 2025 although the same proportion think that Labour will be back in power.
Further afield four per cent are optimistic there will be a permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a colony of humans to be living in space.
Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and bounds.
More than half questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their favourite shows via TV sets hooked up to the internet.
Two-thirds believe cosmetic surgery will have become common place and one in six think we will look after own own health using apps and gadgets rather than relying on the doctor.
Life on Mars? Four per cent think we will be roaming the Red Planet in 2025. Researchers are hoping this prediction is correct - they tested spacesuits on a simulated Mars surface mission earlier this year in Moscow
Brad Pitt will be 62 in 2025 while Angelina Jolie will be 50. But will they have married and still be together?
