wad do you think about the future of the world?

Question

is the world more advanced or ...?
can explain more about the advanced technologies that you would expect in the future times.

Answer 1

Wouldn't it be interesting to see how our world may be if the industrial revolution took place two thousand years before it actually occurred. Think I'm nuts, look up this individual: Heron of Alexandria. His invention of the Hero's aeolipile is just half a step from creating a functional steam engine. The steam engine was a vital tool during the late 18th and 19th century to create the momentum needed for industrial processes. If you look at how humanity has been able to revitalize and harness this innovation in the last two hundred years, it is amazing.

Now say if Heron did successfully make a steam engine and created the industrial revolution, it would blow my mind what we'd currently be capable if it had two thousand years to build on. At the same time, it might be a pending disaster, because of how much resources we currently consume. If we'd use the rate of which we currently consume resource and apply it to our hypothetical model over a two thousand year period, it may be hell unless we'd figure how to be more resourceful and conserve. So ultimately what technology exists in the future greatly depends on our ability conserve our weakest link, our resource supply. Besides technology defined is the ability to use our knowledge to solve a problem and if we have no resources, we can't solve as many problems.

Answer 2

Everything runs on money, from personal financial decisions (where do I work) to the entire world economy (what is the cheapest way to feed billions)

Keeping that in mind, the technologies that solve problems and make the most people the most money are the ones that get adopted.

Watch for these key technologies in the next few decades:

Artificial Intelligence
computer processing speeds double every 18 months or so.
this trend will likely continue for about 30 years until the technology peaks. Computers and their software will become indistinguishable from human intelligence, becoming even smarter and more commonplace.

Energy Production
Oil will sore past 1000 dollars a barrel and allow other technolgies to seem more economically viable. alternative energy sources will eventually replace the importance of oil (the side benefit will be that the Middle East won't be important and the world won't miss them when they kill themselves off)

also, Nuclear Fusion (not the same as fission which is used now) will become viable, allowing limitless urban power based on water as the fuel source (hydrogen from water actually)

Room temperature super conductors.
Right now, most of the power we generate is lost during the transmission of it through wires. Something like 90%.

If we were to replace our current power grid with superconducting wire, we would realize a tenfold increase of useable energy immediately. With cheaper energy prices, new economies and business opportunities arise, as well as an enhancement of living conditions.

Genetic Engineering
Many children born 2 generations from now (in the developed world) will have their genes selected by their parents to optimize the traits of their parents. Most diseases will be cured and people will quietly select homosexualty out of the population for reasons of practicality and fashion.

Cosmetic surgery and genetic manipulation will allow anyone to look perfectly like anyone. These procedures will not be permanent, allowing (for the wealthy at first) many body changes without social stigma.

Conversely, because anyone can look like anything, those people who choose not to change their appearance will not have the same social preassures on them that "ugly" people in the past had to deal with.

Space travel/Industry

Asteroid mining will develop for purely economic reasons.
As the most accessible resources on Earth are tapped, space becomes more viable. Along with the advances in robotics and materials science, automated mining platforms will begin supplying an ever greater amount of Earth's needs.

The population in space in 40-60 years will become what it is in Antarctica now... about 30 000 people.
(Antarctica due to global warming will have a boom in its population and will top a million before the end of the century)

The country(s) that controls the space economy will have the same advantages that the European powers had in 1492.

The future is going to be fraught with chaos and violence and opportunity as resouces and living space are fought over.

Just like today.

Just like it has always been.

Answer 3

I wouldn't say we're more advanced as a whole but in specific areas we are-medicine has advanced tremendously for we have become more precise in identifying the cause of disease and therefore able to find exact cures or be more specific in finding.We've advanced in all technology-look at computers .Mp players ,plasma TVs and so on. The only thing we haven't advanced in is our responsible care of our planet-global warming makes this now very evident and very real and naturally it follows what matter all the advances made when the land is made bare by deforestation,oceans are over fished and being destroyed where large areas are mow dead because of the methods used to get the fish-we advanced in having the means to get more fish but damaged a natural resource in the process(can't really be a advancement then) Animal species are dying and those left of them many are on the way to being extinct. Loss of birds,butterflies and so on is sad and makes me wish for the days when the air was cleaner,the water more pure with God's handiwork being more in the present than man's. Hopefully we'll find and FAST alternatives to fuel-oil,technology to restore reefs in the ocean,low cost techies to clean air,water and to stop the advance of global warming. Perhaps something in the water to make man more conscious of his responsibility to the planet.

Answer 5

Hopefully we won't do like the lost civilization of Atlantis did which is get overwhelmed by a super advanced technology and actually become a slave to it to eventually destroy ourselves. Apparently, we are actually 20 years late to what the scientist already know in terms of advancement. They are SLOWLY letting new inventions come out in order to not destabilize society!

Answer 6

Yes i expect the world more advanced technologically with latest inventions and discoveries. Machines are expected to show up more and human beings slipping more towards slumber and ease. Morally, i expect world to lose still more and family structure to break ans split further. I expect man touching skies but morally man is expected to become more characterless.

Answer 7

i would like to think that upon the nature of the question you asked, you would want to first know if we are just fooling ourselves in such a way as to think we are better off than man say 2,000 yrs ago, but its plain as day that just because we arrange things differently, with a twist, doesnt make things any better,of course man has tried to learn from the past, but repeats it a lot of times.
as far as psychology goes, id say we are "saying with words" that we are in touch with our inner being, but the facts say we as moderns talk to much about how much control we have in our surrounding's, i have more respect for people with less technology 2,000yrs ago simply because they at least had a greater sense of faith in the inner determination of who they are on the inside of themselves, instead of us moderns paying way to much attention the inanimate objects.
so as to the future? i think we will regress backwards technologically so to make room for a more developed inner being"soul".right now man is out of balance with him self. i would say we are in store for some radical reformation in the church first then the fossil fuels, then the goverment. how will these come to pass, only God knows.

Answer 9

The world will remain as it is what we see on our last day of life until any angel reports to us about any developements.
