Sam Martin has a nice blog post about your future in 2020. He was asked by Forbes magazine to envision 2020 and the result can be seen here: “Your Life in 2020“.
So a future word for you: “Wuffie”. A Wuffie is “conceptual social Metric based on what others think of you”. From the blog: “The term “whuffie,” by the way, is a word coined by author Cory Doctorow in his book Down And Out In the Magic Kingdom. It refers to the measurement of respect or karma a person gains or looses in their lives. In Doctorow’s future, humans have implants in their brains that visually project their whuffie, which has replaced money as currency.”
