What do you think the world will be like in 100 years?

I can see something along the lines of Brave New World, Social conditioning will increase and consumerism will go through the roof. I can see us all becoming part of this massive global state all falsely conditioned so that we believe we have some kind of individuality but ultimately we will be like bacteria, simply reproducing and spreading like disease. I can only see the world getting worse in every way TBH. Morals and values will be eradicated essentially. We'll simply belong to the state and we'll be inconspicuously conditioned from a very young age into buying this or doing that, through means such as television and the internet.

I don't want a world like that, to be brutally honest I hope for a calamity of some sort, a war, a pandemic. I think we as human beings should be eradicated before the world becomes how I described.
 
I think we need to destroy the monetary system and introduce a different technological based fully automated society using alternative renewable forms of energy and relying solely on utilizing resources to their full potential, as they are finite.

Google "the venus project."
 
What is the obsession with China? The rising dependency ratio and reliance on borrowed innovation will cripple their ability to compete with India. Meanwhile, India's population is almost as strong as China's but with a far greater youth demographic which, together with India's willingness to use Western assistance to learn and innovate independently is sound evidence that India will surpass China as a world power within the next fifty years, nevermind a hundred.
 
That and they play cricket. The traditional Ox-Bridge roots of the worlds financial districts will still be run by cricket and rugby fanatics.
 
If you look at the past and how long super powers last, I think its a matter of fact that in 100years AMERICA will no longer be a super power. If you look at obesity, drugs, hatred, violence, are aging infrastructural, lack of jobs, lack of money, death, mental illness, sickness, crime, jails, mental hospitals... look at it all just multiply it by 10. Things are not getting better... people are not doing better. Some people live longer but the amount of more people in jail, more people hooked to drugs, more crime, more evil...

in 100years nothing around us will matter or be important, what will be important? Getting food on the table....

Again I repeat CHINA. China which has a huge amount of people and has lasted a lot longer then america will probably be the super power..
thats what i think

*matter of fact* I think things that are bad now will be much much worse, and as a result the bad in people will come out.

I read something the other day and I wish I hadn't thrown it out. It was an e-mail print-out of something my mom was forwarded from her co-worker who pays attention to international news and whatnot. There is apparently some coral reef islands in China's neck of the woods that haven't been of much importance until recently due to oil being discovered under them... China is the largest closest strongest country to it... So, I don't doubt if China gets a hold of these islands that they will be the next superpower. The strength of the US is failing--Too much internal conflict.

So says the one not into politics in the least. ;)
 
I would hope we will evolve as a society to realize how petty our conflicts are in the scope of everything. For that to happen society needs to be self regulating without the help of government as we know it. Government, in it's current form (as it has been for all of human history) will always try to enslave and oppress it's constituents. The issue, the way I see it, is that money is the physical incarnation of greed. Money represents debt and power, which are the concepts upon which our government currently has it's foundation. This is the reason America will eventually fall.

Hopefully 100 years from now we'll have made some progress towards this as people start to realize how delicate humanity is.
 
In 100 years we'll be going to Pandora to mine Unobtanium and Quaid will have gotten his ass to Mars (..... Quaaaaaaid.... Quaaaaaid).

Hopefully I'll be able to buy that flying Ford Taurus I've always wanted before I pass away. No more rush hour traffic and not having to change my tires every year would be euphoric.
 
google face book and twitter will merge into a triumvirate mega corp called "gooter" and its massive computer network will become self aware in 2112 at 2:13pm, thus launching ICBMS against its targets in russia causing a massive retaliatory attack obliterating everyone causing a nuclear winter and destroying the earth.
 
It will be like In Wall-E

No but in 100 years won't we of pretty much ran through all the oil and natural resources?
Major change has to happen with in like 40-60 years or we might be fucked

But also this wiki page is super interesting

Transhumanism

Transhumanism, abbreviated as H+ or h+, is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.[1] Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. They predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "posthuman"

Might be able to get a chip implanted in your brain giving you access to the internet or whatever we'll have then and projecting it right through your eyes, no computer or smart phone needed
 
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeva.

Speaking of Wall-E, did you know that Auto is voiced by MacInTalk, a special computer?

I just watched this about nanotechnology and possible transhumanist agendas. Pretty scary stuff, when you consider the ramifications possible.
