What could be the next big thing that will change the way we live?

Question

for example the industrial revolution and the internet

Answer 1

Our attitudes in the way we interact with each other. There is a saying: "One hand washes the other, and both hands wash the face". We need to work together if we are to survive.

Answer 2

Peak Oil

The point at which it gets increasingly difficult & expensive to find and produce oil while the supply is PROVEN to be diminishing AND the demand is increasing.

It's happening right NOW - the annual production figures for all those Middle Eastern oil fields has been falling steadily for the last 20 years. Getting it is resulting in wars & other international conflicts (a price most people don't think of). Discovery of new oil fields has been steadily declining for 50 years.

In about 20 years we'll be fighting wars for water.

Answer 3

Could be being able to affect global weather patterns or at least, take advantage of global warming....bringing fresh water to arid regions for an increase in agriculture. An increase in sustainable energy. A drive towards more eco-friendly materials and architecture....using planning to develope more efficient homes and workplaces -- reducing energy needs. Nanotechnology.

Answer 4

The end of cheap mobility due to the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
