What will the world be like?
I have my thoughts that border on the global dooms from overpopulation, shrinkage of fossil fuels, crashing of food supply, flashpoints of global warfare, and other mother nature calamities. Using the premise that everything works out like a happy ending, what would the world be like?
I think that the citizens of Earth will live in solar powered homes and commute in electric buses, trains, and cabs. Medicine will enable humans to live to at least 100 years and many to longer lives. A new homesteader explosion will erupt underwater on the shallow contintental shelf bordering the each country's shoreline. The Moon and Mars will be home to humans.
Those are the basic ones. What else will be done?
-
the world will be rockin to the sounds of Rush 2112 :rock
-
I think we will have moved well beyond solar at that point. Fusion reactors, hydrogen fuel cells etc. Other than that I don't think things will be much different. I doubt we'l have some Roddenberryesque utopia, nor do I believe we'll be living like Mad Max.
-
Hmmm, wonder if there will be a 2101 A Space Odyssey
:cheers: Oz
-
I'd hate to think about the world in another 100 years. I'm sure it'd be a place I wouldn't want to be. Glad I won't be around to see it.
-
Heck I hate to think about how the world will be 1 year from now :uhoh
-
The same-ol-chit will be going on socially (yeah, the BS of "everyone [insert current political/racial/socioeconomic PC-BS] is a victim" and those people who earn a good and honest living will be the bad guys), there will be many more electric cars; much more power generated by solar and wind farms; open borders (except in China and Switzerland, they'll be the smart ones); etc etc.

We have first contact with hostile aliens whilst colonising / mining / pillaging asteroids and planets all the way to the Milky centre.
Milk runs will consist of vast transports and fighter pilots will be needed once again to blast the evil vermin from the sky!!
ok maybe 1000 years on.....
-
not sure the actual timeline...100 years 150 or even 50 years.....
first There will be one world power...one monetary system.
they are going to cure all diseases and allow mankind to live as long as they want....they will not get rid of death completely, as in you will still be able to die from a car wreck..falling... those type of deaths.
they are going to "prove" GOD does not exist...
they are going to make every single person alive take a microchip inserted into them....so they know who you are, to get the new medical technology....
the whole world will be enslaved to very few...
and then the end will come.
-
see yall are all wrong cuz the "world is going to end" I dont remember when but its supposed to be in december 2012? :rofl If you believe in all this hype. But I am going to get up at 6 and go to work just like I do everyday

no one knows when its going to end....but yes the end of what we know will happen.

Someone said in another thread the Aztecs didn't include leap years in thier calendar so we should have all died last year some time. :D
100 years and you will be able to book a reservation on the orbiting Hotel Starship Enterprise. (With Holodeck AHIII)

LOL no one will ever be able to prove or "prove" that.

Nothing much will have changed. Sure, technology can change in massive leaps in a very short time but in terms of the human mindset 100 years is nothing.

come on bat look at the things mankind has done in 1 century, surely with computer processing, new technologies will only speed up the process of new discoveries in every field of science?
If we can lay off Killing each other and the greed I think we could go very far.
-
What else will be done?
Perhaps you guys will finally get your 410 and the Meteor.
Edit:
Oh yeah...and your sheep will return.

Absolutely, I agree. Technology can advance in huge leaps in much less than 100 years. Unfortunately though, we have been killing each other and intrinsically greedy for millions of years now and only very slowly does that change.
Even in a Utopian dream it may only take one individual to start off a landslide of self serving righteousness and we have hundreds of thousands of greedy self serving humans that still somehow outweigh the billions of reasonably decent folk the earth is populated with.
I would very much love to see us evolving out of the dog eat dog mentality, I doubt it is possible while there is still limited material wealth available however.
If mankind does manage to change that part of our mindset in the next hundred years, it would be our greatest achievement of all time.

Once we start mastering our brain, petty rivalries will become a thing of past as we move towards one group consciousness. Currently, the human race is only using a fraction of what our brains are truly capable of. Imagine if we were to more than double our ability for thought, the average person could become virtuosos of many tasks and quickly rival all the masters of art, science, mathematics. Look at some of those diagnosed with Autism; some of them can perform one task incredibly well because that area of the brain has been only fractionally improved.
The group consciousness will emulate a 'hive mind' effect, making every one transparent in thought well before any deed can be committed.
-
Humanity will be reduced to a manageable size of 500,000,000 people per the Georgia Guide Stones. Industrialization will be pre-Christ in it's simplicity. Mathematical and Scientific understanding will be purged from the species. The Annunaki Overlords will return and re-enslave humanity to again work its mines.

The Mayan calendar did not include leap years because it was not based on a Solar calendar and rounded to fit our humanocentric view of the universe. It tracked actual revolutions of the moon, planets, stars, and the galaxy itself as a whole and used this for their basis for time. It is nearly as accurate in it's time keeping abilities as a modern atomic clock.
-
LOL no one will ever be able to prove or "prove" that.
that's why I used the quotes, but yes they are going to make everyone believe that Yahaveh does not exist, heck we are almost there now.
me personally, I know better, I will die for him.(him is used figuratively)
I did Tattoo his name on my face and right hand for a reason :aok

There is no need for implanted microchips when everyone is carrying a cell phone.

Nope. Without competitive forces you cannot cure anything. No one will be making cars because they will be handed everything for nothing. No reason to work. No innovation. No leadership. No profits.
There will be Gatorade.

I think personal computing power will continue to increase exponentially, to the point where a device the size of a phone can be more powerful than anything on the planet today, enabling people to simply be more effective at everything they do. The user interface will be intuitive and literally all around us. I'm not convinced that the devices will be merged with the human body but the continued shrinking in size of both computing and input devices will lead to the entire world being saturated with meta-data instantly available through personal computing devices. Brain-wave input devices may or may not work out, but advances in user interface concepts will be almost as good.
As a side effect, the entire way we do business, all types of commerce, will be changed almost beyond recognition. Any buyer will be able to instantly connect with any seller, and all information about both the buyer and seller will be instantly available with no middlemen or paperwork messing up the transaction. Imagine a world full of day traders, except every sale and purchase can be made directly, essentially by simply thinking about something you want/need and approving the final transaction from a seller who could be anywhere in the world. Like amazon.com plus ebay plus wal-mart plus the NYSE plus any other trading group, all accessible and researchable with a simple thought.
And smart people will still take advantage of dumb people... That won't change. And some people will choose to live "off the grid", which will probably become an increasingly unique type of vacation or lifestyle choice.
It's similar to the much talked about "singularity" of human progress, but I think the progress levels off instead of continuing to climb exponentially. It's still going to be interesting.
Oh yea... Now for what will really happen.
The average human lifespan will rise to maybe 100 years, but the last 20-30 years will still suck and be very expensive for most people. Transportation will still be slow and the TSA will have placed naked body scanners every 50 feet on every sidewalk in the nation, because you can never be too safe. The federal income tax will approach 90%, but the budget will be 99% interest on debt and the remaining 1% will be split between the IRS, TSA, and federal enforcement of the DMCA by the DHS, because copyright theft really does threaten national security.
We will not colonize the moon because most people are selfish cowards and those people vote for things like free needles condoms and birth control pills, not space technology research.
Native Africans will have a continent-wide debate about what to do about all the illegal honkeys...er... undocumented caucasian immigrants, when white North Americans realize that Africa has about half of the world's unused natural resources and start swimming/rowing East in search of a better life. Australia will put up a wall around the entire country... not to make it one big prison again, but to keep Americans out. Australians will feel vaguely guilty about this and will respond by trading guns across the border in exchange for cheap recreational drugs.
Russia will slowly dwindle to nothing as their cultural paranoia continues to erode their birth rate well below replacement levels. They won't trust anyone enough to have kids with them, and of course it's going to be the fault of "the West". Again.
The Moeller skycar will finally fly and promptly crash, killing it's 150 year old builder who wasn't having much fun being that old anyhow.
Everyone who is anyone will have nukes, except the US. We will spend Trillions on a large standing army that is widely dispersed and on constant alert because nobody will have any reason to NOT nuke us. We will want to build more nukes, but we sold the mineral rights to our uranium and other rare metal deposits to China and they won't sell any back to us. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 1000 times, shame on... hey a squirrel!
We will invent a universally low-polluting source of power, that has one possible hazardous failure mode. After safely using this power for decades, there will be one failure due to a one in a million natural disaster, leading to the death of just one person and a bunch of housepets. This will cause all responsible nations to immediately abandon that power source and return to mining coal and burning gas/oil, which has a known fatality rate in the hundreds or thousands annually, on top of the environmental damage caused by burning coal, gas, and oil. This switch will be widely applauded as a mature leadership decision and anyone pointing out the fatality rate in the coal industry will be villified as satan incarnate and accused of trying to steal prescription drugs from the elderly.
It will turn out that climate change really IS cyclical just like the last bobillion years of geological evidence shows, and we're going to be needing lots of thick coats and wool socks. People who invest NOW in next-generation snow shovel technology will be the next gazillionaires.
Bill Gates' will activate and switch to his 5th clone following his second consecutive death from a sporting injury, this time falling off the top of mount everest because his climb-o-matic self stabilizing hiking boots suffered a BSOD when he reversed direction and started back down. Next time for sure he'll have his guys run boundary checks and trap overflow errors during QA testing.

Back to the original premise...
Congress will pass a law making it legal for all haircuts to have a happy ending.
Some of you know what I'm talking about, don't spoil the secret.

having a cell don't guarantee who you are....

with one world power there will be no competition.

Mayans. That's right to an extent, Dec. 21st 2012 has already passed according to their calender,However the day their calender ends corresponds to Dec. 21st 2012 on our calender. So no it hasn't passed already, Dec. 21st 2012 according to our calender will be the final day on the Mayan calender......Not that I'm expecting anything to actually happen, and if someone here is, then please feel free to empty your accounts and send me a money order on Dec. 20th 2012 since you will no longer need money. :devil

Likely none of us will be here :frown:, but the world will most likely be a better place :) since most people are working hard :salute to make it so. :aok
:old: Enjoy life, it is much shorter than you realize.

I actually think we will be the same people, flawed and fallible. Unless something changes I see us becoming as advanced as we are immoral.

Only quoted this post because it was shorter but the post above it is quite interesting take!
As for the quote,I wont spoil the secret but check out what they just made legal in Canukville!
I believe it takes effect starting next year.

The concept of cloud computing completely takes over as wireless data transmission speeds negate the need for a home based processor.
Passwords will disappear (since none of us can remember the 1000s that we currently need) and switch to something more akin to facial recognition. Unfortunately it does not work with Silat for some reason.
The wireless phone morphs into your camera, communication device, wallet, advisor, gps, entertainment device and access point for you to interact with the rest of the world. It essentially becomes "YOU Connected" <--I should trademark that.
Wireless charging of electronics becomes commonplace leading to mass marketed implants. This will still be known to possibly, maybe perhaps cause cancer in small irrelevant (and now simulated) animals like mice in the state of California. Such implants would augment or replace cellular devices, and would also be used for fashion and entertainment.
You will be able to visit space for the cost of a typical weeks vacation. You can orbit the earth for the cost of a typical years salary.
Computing power (now that everything is essentially interconnected) will start to show concrete signs of reaching a possible singularity, but will fail to actually reach it. (For example...if everything that has computing power, including your coffee maker is connected to everything else wirelessly, that basically makes just one massive computer) <--kinda like skynet...or google... :uhoh
"gaming" in a persistent online world will become a viable career and seriously blur lines along reality and augmented reality. EVE online is very much already starting to enter into this realm. They have CEO's...that actually act and "work" as CEOs even now.
Solar and wind farming will increase dramatically and then diminish as their ability to produce massive amounts of power do to a massive increase in demand causes them to be regulated for non primary sources, but will still remain common. (kinda like how we see those roadsigns with a solar panel telling us we're driving too fast)
Printable oled's become common place in fashion and is embedded in clothing, making us at best look like we're all from Tron, or at worst Lady Gaga.
AH Version 80.0.4 is added. It is so realistic it actually hurts when you get shot. Sheep were added and then immediately removed when Mrs. Cooper from Salt Late City caught her son Timothy Cooper...um...experimenting.. .and complained. You can now actually smell the exhaust from your tank, and feel the recoil when you fire, but you must be careful not to brush up against a sapling. Oh they added the PBY too...but no one flys it because it's still a stupid idea.
Oh, and since this is going to be in the net forever (It will too) I predict this in the next 50 years, with most of it in the next 20. :D

I think they will finally clone humans and you can have yourself cloned to get out of work by making your clone work for you.
-
I think they will finally clone humans and you can have yourself cloned to get out of work by making your clone work for you.
But if you cloned yourself to do your own work, wouldn't the clone be you? Thus you just did work to make yourself a clone to do more work, and then wouldn't you (err your clone) want to clone another you to do your work as well?
That seems that you just created an infinite amount of work for yourselves. :D

I would bet that has already happened.

When I think of the next 100 years I think Deus Ex Human Revolution.
-
what i think will happen in the next 100 years is robotics and computerization will become so successfull that robotic units will take over for humans in the assembly line. cold fusion will be discovered and implemented as a power source. and of course the world will still hate each other and like always most technology comes from war...
the cycle continues war=tech=war=tech=war=tech. so maybe we'll have a mechwarrior in the future after all :ahand

Funny no one mentions the BigRat era of world dominance that occures shortly after the zombie apacolypse. I think in the year 2100 I finally die and the next 12 years are simply garbage and everyone kills themselves. At least that's what the future me said when he visited in the time machine last week. I thought that was strange but :aok, bummer I die though :cry I couldn't give myself any specifics of how all this happens or the whole space time thingy gets out of wack. Given this info I would suggest everyone trying to stay on my good side for now on :D

Next hundred years, IMHO ..
User Interface will improve dramatically (Holodeck .. ohh yaa)
Data transfer - information - entertainment is all at your fingertips with the latest 3d enhanced iPad.
Replicators .. a super CnC machine ..can build anything, anywhere.
Fossil Fuels are just not cost effective, replaced by all the alternates, finally.
ie: Honda Civic's run on fuel cells, water vapor out the exhaust ..they actually clean the air they drive thru.
Most freeways are computer driven ..you slot in, sit back, and jam on without worryin about 'driving' at all.
Global Warming finally proven to be the Hoax it is as the pendulum swings.
New tech will continue to bury/replace old school,
..paradigm shifts will continue to destroy older industries.
Stem cell research results blossoms ..now your body can regenerate and damaged peices can be replaced-rejuvenated-regenerated.
Cellular die off no longer happens ..people stay at their physical peak until they decide not to, barring fatal career moves.
'Death Race' is number one in ratings world wide with points earned by how many are killed during the race
..with the caveat that those on or near the track have signed a waiver, they want to die.
I dont know if transporters will be viable by then ..I hope so.
It's just data transfer, after all.
If so, cars/planes will become what they should have been all along, a hobby :)
Faster than Light drives for Starships .. may happen .. may be awhile longer also.
World Union, one race, one people, ..I just don't see that happening.
People insist on self destructing all on their own ..
.. rare to have a group stay focused on one idea/purpose for very long before dissent tears it up.

China will move on to join modern world in a post-industrial economy... all the cheap labor will move to Africa, like it did from the Americas to east Asia during this century.
Once Africa wants to move on, and there's no more cheap, stupid labor to support the world economy... then things will get interesting.
But I don't think that will happen in the next 100 years.
