The Future?

Question

What do you think, if no war destroys us, the future will be like in 100 years? What advancements? Inventions? Theories? Morals?

Answer 1

I think we now have the actual possible ability to greatly improve the government, greatly improved regulation and limited influence on society of companies, cure all disease, poverty, war, lack of education, the creation of a renewable environmentally safe electrical power and fuel infrastructure, perhaps even help people be less foolish and we can balance our needs as a world civilization with the needs of the natural world and achieve ecological sustainability and ending the extinction of species and to restore all the damage we possible can that we've already done to the environment, as well as having at least one space port, and a good portion of an artificially created biosphere over the entire moon as well as a perhaps several million people living on the moon as well as manned scientific missions to every body in the solar system. I think crime will never be fully eradicated and to try any system that would be completely effective would automatically be Orwellian but i feel like it can be effectively reduced.
I think schools will be able to teach how to activism and personal empowerment(peacefully and effectively changing the world constructively and in a progressive, positive direction while being scientifically verifible). I also think that we may be able to get much more truth out of our media and politicians do to better records and being able to hold people to there words and deeds as well as there lack of words and failure of deeds. We'll also be able to survey the entire world and get a much more complete and accurate understanding of the history of the world and the dates and locations of events, civilizations and historical people. we might be ableto mimic telepathic ability using or technology to communicate concepts effectivly to groups or individuals. I think we'll be able to record all living languges and be able to organize and view all media ever made in a way we can use of effectivly and make sense of to see exactly what we most want to and what we find the most entertaining as well as compose our own media very professionally with no budget at all.

Answer 2

I'm Spanish (sorry for my English).

I think that the future will be better than the present. Human Being will realize they have been destroying little by little the nature and the world in general. We'll be able to stop the destruction of the world and look after our environment.

With respect to morals and theories I think we'll be more tolerants with the differences that divided us.

I believe and trust that the most important law of the future world will be "Do what you want but don't hurt anyone".

Bye!

Answer 3

Do you think people in 1906 had any conception of the implications of things like telecommunications, atomic power, and the birth control pill? All three of those are inventions that spawned a wholly new field of social theory and morals. We've got no idea man. No idea at all.

Answer 4

This is a hard enough question to ask about ten years from now. Technological and cultural change for the past couple of centuries has been not only blindingly fast, but accelerating.

100 years? At the rate we've been going? It'll be a different planet.

Answer 5

I think that global warming will plunge us into chaos and for the next few hundred years we will achieve little except survival, at least in the northern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere will grow industrially and continue the process of destroying the planets' habitability for humans, at least as a prolific species.

Answer 6

i think that as people in the 80's visions of the year 2000 were very wrong from what is like today anything that we imagin here will be very far wrong

Answer 7

human race will have to institute some kind of population restricition.

there are too many people now, not enough jobs, not enough food, not enough crude.
