Lots of changes. Private cars will be expensive or nonexistent in the cities, but the public transportation system will be incredibly efficient. Out in Wyoming (where I live), there will be hybrid and electric cars and trucks and lots and lots of wind turbines to provide power for other parts of the country. Where there aren't wind turbines, there will be trees, not farms. Cattle will share the range with the wind turbines.
I think more private homes will be built to save energy. Some communities might even put their public buildings underground.
There will probably be working mines on the moon and orbital refineries which use solar power to process the metal. I doubt there will be more than an outpost on Mars, though.
The exclusive places to live will be undersea cities. The richest of the rich will move there because incoming personnel will have security checks and such places will be the safest from terrorism. The technology developed for space will be used there and vice versa.
Oh, and Florida will be gone except for a little scrap of land at the top of the state that will remain above sea level. The government will also give up on New Orleans and parts of the East Coast. The Netherlands will be history.

nicely it will be a good feat of engineering information and technological skills, even with the reality that in the adventure that they'd one achieved by 2100 and if i'm nevertheless alive?? Then per chance i'd make a journey in the course of the pond in this new tunnel, would we nevertheless be utilizing autos in 2100? Or will or not it truly is Hovercars or a monorail gadget that travels at 800 mph?, per chance it will be an enviromentally freindly water jet powered craft that's pushed in the course of the Atlantic by water stress? I stay in Glasgow 400 miles from London, so would I somewhat ought to bypass to London to enter this Transatlantic tunnel or would there be an go out the following and in Liverpool and so on, and in no way purely London, because all of us dont stay in London contained in the united kingdom or England.

Well, I assume I will not be here. There may be a city on the moon, like Las Vegas for people to vacation. May have a nice Space Station too, located midway of Earth and Moon. They may have a few smaller Space Labs similar to the one now as we reach out for the other planets. The world economy will have equalized, but, I feel the same problems of poverty and etc. will still exist. Electricity will finally have replaced Oil dependency, with much opposition to Nuclear Energy. World population will be enormous 15-20 Billion and there may be restrictions on the number of children a family can have, as in China now. The area of Medical Cures with DNA research will have eliminated many diseases, though there may be new oppositions to overcome.
Well, that some. There will be many Technological and Social Changes. We can only hope they be for the best.

There would need to be a huge turn around for it to be better than today. And as this is not possible...
I will have to say that it will be 10 times worse than today.
We can hardly cope with 6 billion people today. How are we going to cope with 20 billion? That is your biggest hurdle.
The world is running out of fresh water because of its large population. Australia has been rationning water for the past 5 years. Part of France and England are facing those same problems. How will we find water for 20 billion people?
How will we grow food for 20 billion people without water?
2100? As humanity has failed to control its population, nature will take control and restore the balance by killing billion of people through famine.

I am always optimistic in life. But at the rate at which the world is going at this point in time, it is really difficult to even imagine how 2050 would be. The environmental pollution, depleting natural resources, widespread unrest and violence, deadly diseases, etc. do not paint a rosy picture for the future.
If we realize, acknowledge and act on these issues now, then we can think of a better future. Well, together we can!

This century will truly be " . . .the best of times and the worst of times for ALL living things on this planet. We are about to take the ride of our lives down the wildest white water river you could ever possibly imagine. For example, by 2100, we're going to be bickering here on Yahoo over why we didn't keep a blueprint around for what humans used to be genetically before we started to get so creative with our genes.

well, there was a dramatic change in the 20th century, think of 1905 and 1999, I think the same will happen by 2100, I don't think jetsons though, but a lot of technology, and artificial intelligence, and a significant decrease in animals due to extinction, the common animals we know of today will not be round 100 years from now, when i think of future, i can't help think of the predictable future everyone else thinks of

From space the earth will appear as a blackend ball from the pollusion in the atmosphere. Many of the large population centers will have been destoryed in the wars for rapidly dwindling resources. Others will be deserted as what was left of their populations moved north to escape the expanding deserts caused by global warming and to find land still habitable.
After starvation, war, genetically engineered sickness, (not to mention those who simply died of bordom), the survivors will prey upon one another. Many of the living will envy the dead, yet fearful of death, they will resort to cannibalism to stay alive.
Hopefully things will get better after that.

Wow, that's a good one! I think of the Jetsons. We'll all have our own car-planes and will be able to beam up to the moon to get a drink. Also, virtualism will take over for the existing realism. See you in 94 years!

I'm pessimistic about this matter although there will certainly be positiveness.there will be less food and water which results in the rise of hungry people.the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.and also you shouldn't forget the global warming.the world will pay for what we're not paying attention today.
