Honestly, this isn't that far out to guess, and it probably won't be nearly as futuristic as we might imagine.
For example, in 1967 Dennis Ritchie began work on the c programming language, still highly used today only almost 50 years later. In 1962 the Chinook helicopter when into service. Almost 35 years ago the US Space Shuttle went into service, and we still haven't seen a huge amount of new innovation there. Though maybe it will come.
Anyway, the point is, 100 years brings amazing innovations (before 1967 there was no c, after all! So it was amazing). But, progress happens a lot more slowly than I think most realize in our science fiction laden society. We probably won't have any strong AI Robot Overloads in 100 years. Most likely we'll still be writing software to solve our day to day challenges while sitting around and complaining about how poorly other software engineers write their code.
