  We use the Future Continuous to talk about:

-   actions or events that will be in progress at a specific time in

the future:

        e. g. This time next week I’ll be flying to London;

              - something that will definitely happen in the future, either because it is  already planned or because it is part of a normal routine:

        e.g. We’ll be using the Internet in ten years’ time.

We use the Future Perfect to talk about actions or events that will be finished before a certain time in the future:

       e. g. I’ll have written the report by Sunday.
