The only thing about that is that anyone can from 2024 can create Mickey Mouse or use him doesn't it and reverting it back to 1909 technically means Disney does not exist too.

Well, Disney is more than just Mickey Mouse. Still, when it comes to the actual character, as I understand copyright law, Time_Traveler is correct. Still, wouldn't plots and dialogue in films featuring Mickey Mouse still be protected until their copyrights also expired?

I would assume so Caltrek.

As I mentioned in status updates, I'll be doing a prediction for 10th generation games consoles.

This page will be an excellent reference:

I think that's a fair prediction, though they won't be confined to South Korea. The key enabling advance will be more energy-dense batteries.

By 2050, there will be powered, wearable exoskeleton suits that can operate for at least eight hours continuously on a single battery charge, and their batteries won't be larger than a briefcase. Some police and paramilitary organizations in rich countries will wear them.

Finally, some classic anime will have finally been proven correct.

This prediction for Cargo Sous Terrain, currently listed at 2030, will need moving to 2031...

https://www.futuretimeline.net/21stcent ... us-terrain

... and perhaps mentioned as 2031-2045, or with a 2nd prediction at 2045 to mark its completion.

Couple of new/updated references:
