100 Years ago we hadn't invented motor cars, now we have sent men into space.?

Question

Amazing. What will the next 100 years hold?

Actually it would be 36,525 days since each 4 is 366 per year. :P

Answer 1

36,500 days.

Answer 2

Back in 1969 I was thinking that it was only about 60 years since the airplane was invented and now we had landed on the Moon and what would we have in the next 40 years? Now, almost 40 years later, all we have more is the Internet. I am REALLY disappointed and do not expect anything great in the next 100 years, if this is all we could do in 40.

Answer 3

That is right.
We are going though a scientific revolution which started around 1800 which was bumpstarted by energy production by steam power.
Unfortunately for us, this revolution is blowing back on us as our efforts are warming the planet, more inventions and discoveries will only make things hotter which could destroy most of us.
We will have to do without constant energy on tap and the energy we produce will have to have a small or non existant carbon footprint.
It can be done with ingenuity and recycled materials.

Answer 4

Who knows?

NASA is seriously looking at building a Space Elevator.

Many places are seriously researching automated robots, so that will probably happen within a hundred years.

I doubt flying cars will ever show up, the amount of fuel needed to make one fly is prohibitive. Unless they would have a different source of propulsion.

Other ideas?..... I don't know..... That's the fun of the future, we never know what will happen. I do think it will be bright, though. I doubt we will all kill ourselves through some giant war.

Answer 5

I think we'll have a gigantic electric driverless railroad network. This network will hand a majority of freight and a large niche of passengers. I think nonrailroad vehicles including aircraft will be biodiesel powered. I think World War 3 will be over water. I think a dike fifty feet tall will be built around the US to protect it from the increased ocean levels due to global warming. I think robots will be capable of being used as murder weapons. There will be a lot of people using robots as security guards, slaves, and so on. I think people will have sex with anatomically correct robots.

Answer 6

Unless we seriously change the way we do things civilization won't be here 100 years from now. At best we have about sixty years left. The news media will never tell you this but earth is now very close to being inhospitable to life.

Answer 7

Oh yes there will come a day when you will be offered a reduced fair into space with sir Richard Branson's space rocket.

Answer 8

Like your answer!!"water skipper",Let's just hope that we will spend less on weapons and perhaps concern ourselves with more pressing issues....? I predict another 100 years of "religious tension" which will lead into world war(hope god's people are pleased with that idea??).Hope these robots don't get any viruses?

Answer 9

advances in faster transportation, better cars, new energy sources, nuclear fusion generators, possibly teleportation of simple objects, maybe man will set foot on mars, but doubt colonization is in question. possibly a simple establishment on the moon. computers will be faster and smarter, we will have much better medicine. we wont have anything like warp drives and teleport devices for humans.

and by the way, it will be 36525 days. leap years =)

Answer 10

Google "Ray Kurzweil" and read about the coming Singularity.
We will be transhumanists - part biological and part machine utilizing nano-technological cells to keep us living as long as we chose to live.

Answer 11

Implosion.
