Maybe I'm being too negative; you'd be wrong to underestimate how much can change in 100 years - especially considering how much has changed in the last 100 years. I still think eradication of nationwide poverty is a step too far but it isn't *impossible*.
Also, if I'm being very pedantic with semantics, there are no third-world countries in the world *now*. "First/Second/Third-World Country" are examples of Cold War terminology; they're no longer used by the people who actually study that sort of thing. I'm just picking holes for the fun of it though :)
Will Third World countries exist in 100 years?

Yes, and the difference in development and technology relative to "first world countries" will probably be the same as it is today.
