100 years into the future. (1 Viewer)

[IC FBGCav]

We will never see a 100 years from now but your thoughts.

Name three things that will stay the same that you don't like and one thing you think will happen for the good of mankind.

Love of money, religion, and there is still poverty and the one good thing will there will be a colony on Mars.(with the hope of terraforming it)

Nice. That was a wes and sly movie.

 

[Zegras11]

you will still post drunk.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Given enough time and no cosmic intervention, some day human's will be able to live for extremely long periods of time though drugs and technology.

 

[IC FBGCav]

I use caps too. But no drinky tonight.

 

[The General]

Heineken will still taste skunky.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Guess I go back to big Richard threads because big thought threads don't work. Got a lot of bright people here just want to hear their thoughts on the future.

In the future toilets will have special magnets and vacuums making toilet paper unnecessary.

Three things that will stay the same -

1. The debt system

2. African poverty

3. Crappy pop music that teenieboppers love and everyone else hates

One thing different for the better -

1. Vast reliance on renewable forms of energy. Like over 50% of the globe's power.

One thing not better or worse, just more intense and quicker -

1. Direct cerebral connections to an internet like global network. Sorta like the Matrix, only less nefarious, more like Neuromancer.

Religion and race will continue to be sources of conflict. There will still be an underclass that struggles for food, shelter and safety. Modern medicine will have been able to eliminate many current health concerns through genetic fine-tuning and organ reproduction, regeneration.

Then the population problem will be ugly. By ugly, I mean how it is dealt with.

In the future all restaurants will be Taco Bell.

Brawndo will give plants electrolytes.

I was going to point this out. I'm 30. It's possible that by the time I'm 75, life expectancy for an American male of decent means would top 100.

there will be a colony on Mars.(with the hope of terraforming it)

My unpopular opinion, based on no personal scientific expertise at all, is that terraforming Mars won't happen. I think it's a pipe dream. The challenge is far too large to even consider in a 100-year window. Even in 1000 years coming up with a realistic plan would be extraordinarily difficult. The lack of a rotating molten metal core really hurts. Mars needs a decent magnetosphere or terraforming is a no-go.

That sucks.

 

[timschochet]

All forms of cancer will be cured.

 

[Jayrod]

Three things that will stay the same that I don't like:

Child abuse

Rape

Murder

One thing that will happen for the good of mankind:

Elimination of nuclear weapons

I recently read that the biggest issue is getting people to Mars because no technology exists which can protect people from radiation in space for long enough to make the trip.

water shortages will cause massive world wars

[worrierking]

Keith Richards will still be partying.

 

[roadkill1292]

Bad things

1. We'll still be polluting the planet

2. There will still be conflicts between nations

3. We'll still have poverty, mostly because too many of us are comfortable with having it, not because we can't solve it

Good things

New energy sources and a leveling or declining population improve standards of living. (Bad thing which may result from this -- the pace of innovation may slow)

I think even more work will be automated to the point where most people won't work what we consider to be a full week anymore.

 

[Apes with Guns]

Brawndo will give plants electrolytes.

it's what plants crave

 

[Scoresman]

people will be fighting for the right to marry same sex androids.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

In the future all restaurants will be Taco Bell.

on the plus side they will have upgraded their meat from kangaroo to goat.

Instead of Cherry 2000 some may want Larry 2000.

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

nobody will remember me and I won't care

 

[flysack]

Imagine a conversation between our children about this place in a 100 years?

"Hey, remember when your dad was almost deported?"

"Yea. Good times. Remember that cat shirt your dad always wore?"

"Remember it? I still have it in glass on the mantle."

I'm not sure most of the world can afford all the technology required to carry out those medical advances. Even here, it will likely only be a portion of our society able to access it. But yeah, no doubt that we have population issues on the horizon.

So you're not self-important?

LHUCKS' great grandchildren will still be waiting for his account banning to finish.

Brawndo will give plants electrolytes.

It is what they crave.

Damn it.

Pure dirt will trade even up for hydro at the nearest Atoll.

You will be able to walk into the corner gas station and buy a pack of joints as easily as cigs today.

 

[phrozen]

FBG daily e-mails will still be sent by Joe Bryant

 

[Insein]

FBG daily e-mails will still be sent by Joe Bryant

Does this mean he's just a computer server with limited sentience or is it like the Dread Pirate Roberts where a new person takes over as Joe Bryant every 20 years?

A hundred years from now the planet's population might be one third of what it is now. Fertility rates are rapidly declining almost everywhere.

The human population will be less than 2% of our current numbers.

Captain Trips will strike sometime in the late 2020's.

45 years from now? Honestly, I'd put the over/under on life expectancy to be like 600 or so at that point. I'm a huge techno-optimist though. I think we're on the cusp of having accumilated enough knowledge AND of having powerful enough computers to figure our biology out enough that most of today's causes of death will be gone within the next 45 years.

There will be no manual transmission vehicles because the "kids" can't text while driving them.
