Answer by Roland M
Okay, the best thing to do is to read “Analog,” or “Asimovs” or “Realms of Fantasy.” All these magazines and many others discuss the future, near-future and many of the sorts of ideas, inventions and changes in human life that we will have in the next 15 to 20 years.
Here are some ideas that have never been done before:
Have a spaceship discover a long dead planet, and the crew make all sorts of witty observations about the lost civilization on it… except it’s really Earth!
Have a plague kill everyone except two people, and their names are Adam and Eve.
Have someone with amnesia encounter all sorts of mutants and terrible dangers, get them into a sticky situation with no obvious solution, then have them wake up and realize it was all just a dream!
Any one of thse would work as a cool “Twilight Zone” episode idea! Good luck!

The first half of Roland’s answer is true and helpful.

I could go on with ideas but I do not seem to be writing the whole plot and do not know your interests so I do not have a clue as to what would grab you and make you write a passable short story.
