In the past the whole world used different calendars and ways to represent time. Currently a few religions still have alternative cale dars. In the near future do you think calendars will be vastly different than now?

I predict around 2035 there will be a minor but annoying change.

Next century, so not near future, the leap seconds and leap days will break everything forcing a major calendar reform.
