A hundred years isn't that long in the greater scheme of things, so I don't have any sci-fi predictions...

If Xmarks is still around, it will have become a more immersive multimedia environment, while becoming more user friendly. People will be able to share pictures and video as they are taken, without having mess about too much with uploading and hosting. Maybe it will all go down in 3D.

As for the kilt, I think THCD will change very little. Daywear might continue to tend towards more simple and casual style, as this has been a trend in general menswear for many years. I suspect that formal evening wear will experience the least change.

Modern kilts will go in two directions. The first will be the solidification of utility style kilts into a tradition as several generations of wearers will have gone by. This could be the "traditional American kilt" (TAK) and act as the unbifurcated equivalent to a pair of jeans or cargo shorts. The other will be some new direction, as yet unknown. Wearers of these "future kilts" will cause some consternation to devotees of TAK, while Scottish traditionalists will look at how TAK did the same to THCD in the early 2000s and have a good chuckle
