The only scenarios I can imagine that are not terrible to contemplate involve solving the population pressure on this planet by moving the focus of human endeavor into a larger sphere: space, the final frontier.
We are way behind schedule according to most science fiction writers I read when I was growing up. One by one the stories we loved have fallen behind us, and here we are, still planet-bound. Because to us, space travel never can be considered a reality until it gets past the extreme elite of the military/government astronaut program and into the young and adventurous of many different types. That is, until there are commercial flights. Will we even call them "flights," I wonder? Probably not. Probably the word "trip" will cover everything.
Oh, yes; that's the other thing My Generation remembers about growing up with all that science fiction. Exploring outer space and exploring inner space. And there, 50 years is but the bat of an eyelid. Re-read "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein.
Think. Think. Think.

Let's look at how the world has changed in the past 50 years. Some things are very different. Communication, for instance. 50 years ago you had to call people, or go to their house. Now it's all cell phones and instant messaging. In 50 more years maybe there will be some other way of communicating, like holograms or sky messages or something!
But some things have not changed much. 50 years ago people were listening to rock music and wearing blue jeans, and people will probably still be doing that 50 years from now. People were drinking soda then, and they probably will be in 50 years.

I am sure that the word 'world' will never alter .
then also the people will say that " this world is better than those days".
Its not the world changing, but what makes the defenition is changing day by day.
