Into the future

Bullet What inventions of the future might affect the spread of the English language?
Bullet Will American spelling have taken over from English spelling a hundred years from now? (eg Will we be writing thru instead of through and nite instead of night?)
Bullet Will English dictionaries include sidewalks instead of pavements, candy instead of sweets and faucet instead of tap?
Bullet A hundred years from now, will another language be more widely used across the world than English? If so, which??
