Prognostication #712
In the year 2059, the average receipt from The Home Depot is 53 meters long. In addition to a gift receipt, a customer service survey offering a chance to win $100,000 (or, approximately $11 in 2007 dollars), and a copy of your signature, it includes your annual tax forms, a selection of knock-knock jokes, and a photocopy of your butt. The cashier must change the tape twice during the average single-customer checkout. It is common practice for shoppers to hire Sherpas to carry these receipts home.

I think your prediction is conservative. All of the above will occur by 2030 at the latest.
