What do you REALLY think how life will be on earth, a thousand years from now ? Think what happened from.....

Question

yr 1000 to yr 2000 in order to make projections into the future.

Answers like : humans may have nuclear- bombed themselves out of the earth or, on the other end of the scale, humans may have developed teletransportation and discovered anti-gravity to prevent airplanes falling off the sky are also valid.

Answer 1

I think that no matter what we speculate about here, the truth of what it will be like will be completely unimaginable to those living today.

Think about what kinds of answers you would have gotten to this question back in the 11th century. No one then would have predicted that I'd be sitting at desk somewhere in western North America in a country that used to be part of the British empire, typing away on a computer and communicating with people from all over the world instead of actually working like I'm supposed to.

Even a hundred years ago, no one predicted anything like the internet, or cell phones, or DVD players or many of the features of modern life that we take for granted now. Yet the extreme visionaries predicted flying cars and cities on the moon and under the ocean, none of which have come true (yet - I'm still holding out for the flying car).

So my prediction, knowing full well that it will be completely and totally incorrect, is that in the year 3006, in western Canada this dude will awaken somewhere around the crack of noon. He'll yawn and stretch and take a look out his window (which is actually an electro-statically generated force field) and gaze out over the vast plains of the Reconstructed North American Plains Nature Reserve, where he lives and works as a field guide, zoologist and groundskeeper.

Using his implant computer, he logs onto the local datanet and chats with his closest buddies (some of which he has never met physically). Most of them still live on Earth, but there are a several that live in the orbital facilities, the terraformed Mars and the Jovian satellites. He checks his mail and finds a message from his life-partner, who is on a tour of several nearby star systems. His life-partner will be back in the Sol system in two weeks, which will give them an opportunity for real-time interface.

He has in fact met his life-partner in meat-space on a few occasions, but it didn't go so well. His life-partner's datanet avatar is a slim, statuesque blonde woman, while his own avatar bears a striking resemblance to an obscure ancient philosopher known as 'jeebus'. However, in meat-space, it turns out that his life partner's body is male, with thick black hair. He prefers the avatar version. They are planning to have their genomes combined soon, and are booking interviews with various natal creches to figure out where they want to enroll the child.

As he checks the recent population figures of the Great Lakes mammoth herd (seeing if they have recovered from the brucilosis yet), he also tracks the position of his favourite Smilodon pack, and pulls up another image of the projected phenotype of the child. He fiddles with the eye colours again, trying to get just the right shade of golden amber to go with the cat's pupils. He wonders again about starting the argument about whether or not to go with gills.

Then his robo-butler comes in with a can of carbonated caffeine and a box of donuts, and he puts the implant computer on pause while he eats breakfast.

Answer 2

If we can reach back 1000 years, we may be able to come up with a reasonable or probable answer to this question. The presumption is what general scientific, political, social, and daily standards of living might be in 1000 years. There are similar philisophical and living climates that have been the same for thousands of years. We will still have neighbors and talk about the weather as well as other people. We will have similar social groupings and general classes of social standing. Communication will be greatly enhanced. We might be able to make many more predictions by determining which things change...at what rate...and which things stay the same.

Answer 3

It'd be nice to think that humans could advance so far as to improve life, however history and all we see on the news tells us that humans will always dominate each other to ruin. From the earliest civilizations to now, brutality and wars and genocides and violence especially greed and desire of power push men to pridefully follow their urges for the good of themselves,not the people. Our leaders will bring us to ruin, and only God will change this life for our best interests.The bible says that soon all these governments will be ended and Gods government will rule over us on the earth in peace.And no one will ever die or be sick or fight.The earth will be beautiful again. Doesnt that sound so wonderful?...

Answer 4

Based on the Al Gore movie, we will all be underwater and all life on earth will die because the US isn't on the KYOTO bandwagon.

Forget about mega eruptions from volcanoes, viruses or meteor strikes as the cause of destruction.

If none of the above happens, the world population will grow so much that there will be no place but space to put people.

Answer 5

People that wonder about the future will be confined to a cell and get a daily enema and bukake.

Answer 6
