Tommorow' World Infographic from the BBC

The BBC Future  recently published an infographic looking to the future — 2013 to 50 years to 100 years out. Using predictions from thinkers, scientists and pundits, the graphic also outlines the odds of the events taking place.

The graphic's predictions range from the serious to the fanciful, from the exciting to the petrifying.

To set up the odds on how likely these predictions will occur, the designers of the graphic asked the special bets department at British betting firm Ladbrokes to give their odds on each item.
