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?

It's very possible that leap seconds will be a thing of the past. Those need active changes to the calendar, and there's every possibility that future generations will simply not care to make those adjustments.

Other than that, I don't think Gregorian calendars are going anywhere. Traditions have a way of overstaying their welcome, especially once they are automated.
