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.
We will certainly need to if a quarter of Britons are right in predicting the NHS will no longer exist in 2025.
It's also not good news for those in their fifties as three-quarters are confident the retirement age will have risen to 70 by the time they reach pensionable age. One in five even speculate we will have to work up to the age of 75.
Still they may count themselves lucky still having a job as half believe unemployment will reach its highest ever level by the quarter century mark.
Doom and gloom
But at least we can distract ourselves with the daily comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more than half think that 'celebrity' will be a registered profession.The Pulse of the Nation survey was carried out to mark MSN's 15 year anniversary.
Matt Ball, editor-in-chief at MSN UK, said: 'When MSN launched Toy Story came out and was the first completely computer generated film, John Major was Prime Minister and Barings bank collapsed.
'British life has changed remarkably since then. The depth and breadth of insight from our research demonstrates how passionate and opinionated people are about life in the UK.'
