How the World will look like in the next 50 years

People have always been intrigued of what the future will look like. The answers are quite simple and here you have them for the next 50 years.

How can we know what the future will look like?
To be able to understand the future, you must know the past. What has taken us to where we are today and what has changed along the way.

The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, food, sleep, sex, the feeling of being appreciated and loved. Will this change in the next 150 years? No.

What inventions have really made a difference in the last 150 years?
If you take away all gadgets that people in some part of the world are using for entertainment, the inventions that have affected most people around the world for everyday living are the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, the car and the ability to communicate through Internet. Then we of course have a lot of inventions that have made life easier, like new medicine, faster transports etc.

In general the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human strive for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.

But why do we need to predict the future?
Predicting the future is important for two reasons; first we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation, and then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.

Will we ever get those flying cars in the future I saw in pictures as a kid?
Flying cars is an example of a scenario that has been pictured for the future for a long time. It is a great and exciting concept, but is it realistic? To start with we must find out if there’s a basic need for it, what are the pros and cons. Then we have to think about the system we have today, cars going on the ground, and the transition to a new system. To make it work in this example we need two parallel systems, with a road network for the flying cars simultaneousely as the common road network. Even if the flying cars are improved to be suitable for city traffic, the investments would be huge for a city to implement this, as well as for households to get that extra vehicle. So even if all the pros are there the practical steps for such a new route is too hard to overcome, so I’m sorry, there will be no road network for flying cars in the next 50 years.

How about the virtual worlds, do I need to go on vacation in the future or just have all the cells in my body experience an artificial vacation?
It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, feel the salt from the ocean on your lips, hear the waves and smell the seaweed, just lying in your bed at home. But we will not be able to fool the mind in the way that no matter how real the experience will feel, you will always know that it haven’t happen for real. That will make all the difference. You can tell people today that you have seen the pyramids in Egypt because you have seen a picture of them, but you will never get the feeling of being there. So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it will never replace the common experience if it is not genuine.

Please tell me we will get in contact with some aliens in the near future...
It is most likely that there are other life in the Universe considered there are billion solar systems. In the aspect that our solar system is about 4.6 billion years, other civilisations could be 10 million or even 1 billion years ahead of us. With these numbers in mind there is no greater chance that they will make contact with us within the next 50 years than in 100,000 years, and with the size of the Universe we will not likely be able to make any contact with them during this time.

So what will the future look like then?
What we will see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oil-dependent society, new medicine, the first steps in the development of artificial intelligence, continued exploration of space, more people to die from AIDS, hopefully a better state for the poor people in the world, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier and entertaining for some.  

How should I do then to make the future great?
Well, as you know the winner in life is not the one with the most money when he dies, the winner is the person who sleeps best at night. To feel good about yourself and the people around you, listen to them and show them the love and respect they deserve as fellow human beings and help those in need. That is what will matter when you go to bed at night in 50 years from now, and hopefully will give you a good night’s sleep.

Where will robots be.

gay robots

What about our global 'War on Terror'? It is unlikely that it will be forgotten overnight

School will be a helmate with everything in it.

We will have characteristics similar to the Chinese people.

We should have floating skateboards

Better chance to get teenagers world wide and help to start a band **$@#

Will people live on the moon?

Who is going to have Govermental or world power in the future?

What about architecture? Will skyscrapers reach higher altitudes?

i really want floating houses....

i really think you should add phasers. whats a future without phasers? also please add matrix-style vr games. you know thats gonna happen.

I don't think there will be any aliens,besides I'm a Christain.God created human,not alien.

i want there to be bubbles to take you places....awesome!!

alien strippers

So, no PAV's, holograms, robots, or any of the other cool futuristic stuff?
I have to admit- that future really sucks- but I guess we have to face reality; since peak oil is somewhat iminent- a technological regression would have to occur within the next century.

That really does suck though.

I want to see computers used to build cities by special programs, imagine if they invited matter that connected computers with real society man you could have cartoon characters in real life form

where will be pakistanin the world map in future???

It would be cool if buildings were somehow built in a matter of seconds, not in months or years. And yeah, bubble transport would be awesome, too! Dyl, your idea about cartoon characters in real life form is stellar!! I hope we eventually make contact with extraterrestrial intelligence elsewhere in the universe, cuz that would be so COOL!!!! B-)

I want to just look at a screen and have everything in my mind. NO SCHOOL!!!

They should not make robots because it will make us lazy!!

I think in the future there will be this HUGE stroid commig to earth at almost the speed of light. The speed of light is
300,000km per second and it will SMASH the earth!! THEN the earth will no longer exist.

May be sometime in the future there might be floating cars and the cars float by magnets. The cars might transform into a submarie to go underwater or a small plane to fly!! They might go at MACH 5

To tina... I have heard that alien's are mentioned in the bible. Is that true? Well I am embarrassed to not know that for sure to cite the reference and say that my NIV bible is in the garage... i think. Sorry God. Please forgive me Lord God and Jesus Christ I love you. I have my new testament in my room though.

Super football players

A genetically enhanced Brett Favre

will there ever be #$*@

@#$***$#@@#*$#@#$****$#@

will there be jetpacks that are used for @#$*ing

will there be fling anything

will there be fling dells.

will there be fling Bob,s

a blackhole.......

I agree with most of your points. However, you have failed to account for the possibility of a technological singularity. What is this, you ask? Well, if I drew a graph of paradigm shifts in human history (HOW LONG IT TOOK for the discovery of fire, farming, invention of the wheel, renaissance, industrial revolution, information revolution, etc.), it would exhibit an exponential character on a logarithmic time scale. If you performed a best fit curve to this, it could be gleaned from this chart that at some point in the near future, we will have technology that is capable of self-improvement (aka Artificial Intelligence).

After this point, all bets are off the table, because this means that machines (or more correctly, networks) will become more capable of performing design and improvement of other machines than their human counterparts. This is not a Matrix or Terminator-style bleak outlook, because we simply cannot predict what will happen when we reach this point. Some say all hell will break loose and machines will go nuts. Some say that we will begin to colonize space and become more mature as a species and learn to live better with our planet and its resources and other inhabitants. Others see the comforts brought by such technology quickly turning us toward sloth and gluttony. Some liken it to a spiritual awakening.

The problem with guessing is that everyone always 'said so' once they know they are right. Nobody dares to speak once they are proved wrong through history.

In the 18th century, man was certain that human flight was a dream but Da Vinci was dreaming up an airscrew in the 1500's. People were utterly convinced that bloodletting was the only cure to several diseases until the 19th century , but we have records of plastic surgery in 600BC India.

So what we have is selective memory. As individuals, we remember only certain events and as a society, we tend to forget much more quickly. Technology has caused a change in that (ie. the Information Revolution) in that more information is freely accessible to individuals now that ever before in our recorded history. The next wave will probably come through Nano Technology and miniaturization as stated in your article. Some fear that we are not ready for Nano Technology. My guess is that we will make great strides in Integrated technologies (Nano + Bio + Space + Smart materials.. etc). This will result in
(as a very poor example) a toaster that has Aerospace technologies and grown using Bio technology that has the computing power of a current personal computer and is almost affordable for the geeky. The next step, of course is mass-production and integration into society (How many of you remember the old cellphones?). History has taught us this. We need to stop forgetting so soon.

Sorry my thoughts are not very coherent, but I hope some of my ideas came through in this garbled mess of a reply!

ROBOS WILL DOMINATE ME!!

did you know that is possible to live a virtual life without technological help? using the own mind?

who interest yourself, my msn is : victor.smt@hotmail.com

im a christen but i do belive god also made aliens he dident entend for us to know everything also im 11

Lets try to be reasonable here, will there ever be life on mars? i mean if we continue polluting the o-zone what will protect the rays of the sun from earth.

wait i forgot im 14 :P but i do think its a serious matter.

Ok although everything seems to be off of Futurama or Tripping the rift.... I think the biggest question here is: How will life change if we create a better A.I. throughout this time? cuz let's face it A.I. is good but will screw us over in the long run..

HOPE IT DOESN'T END UP LIKE MAD MAX BEYOND THE THUNDER DOME, WATER WORLD OR THE CALIFORNIA LOVE MUSIC VIDEO.

I PERSONALLY HAVE OPTIMISTIC VIEWS ABOUT THE FUTURE.

IT WILL PROBABLY BE AWESOME.

ESPECIALLY IF WE GET TO MAKE IT THERE.

dude what about all the war stuff???it is very unlikely that the world will remain peaceful for so long...someone or some country will want absulute power like hitler.and the world with all the new nuclear weapons we will just destroy the world itself!!!!!!!!!!

everyone will be gay..sounds good ;)

i just want everything to stay the same the way it is i get kinda freaked out thinkin about the future :(

there will be like flying cars and cool things like hovering scatebords and shit man its gon be off the hoke man its gon be tight :D cant wait dude nothin bad is gona happen till then trust me ;)

we'll all get really fat because robots will do all our work for us.

WALL-E

there should be a pill that will give you an automatic origasm:D

There should be computer chips implanted in our brains so we can have night vision or wallhacks :D

the world will be under robots control :D

there willbe flying cars

will flying cars

what will the weapons be like?

weapons, will be lasers, and melee will be brought back to fruition via the lightsaber.

in the future, there should totally be a, sort of recorder thing, that records your dreams, and you can watch them WHENEVER you want!!!! oooh, free porn, hehehe.

There will be robots. They are already making sex robots that are supposed to come out within the next 50 years. They say the first ones to come out will cost around a mil, but after years they will come down to just a couple hundread bucks. you will be able to order male or female and any size any color. Just how you want it. And they will simulate moaning and movement just like a real human. This I know for a fact. LOOK IT UP!

in the future, everything will be made of metal. thus eliminating the need for wood. OXYGEN FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

i dont think so!

For Tina:

You believe that there are not aliens? how about other humans? what defines the limits of God's creativity? As I see it... IF God exists and his creation is the universe and all that is within it, what makes another solar system different from "the new world" now generally called america. It was thought at the time that it couldn't exist. That largely was due to the limits of technology of the day that allowed people to travel and discover new things. What's the difference between the state of the art sea vessel from hundreds of years ago to new space technologies being created as we speak? Who's to say wether or not in future we can create a new space vessel that will allow the discovery of a planet that supports life and SURPRISE there is a deer there that doesn't exist on earth? Wouldn't surprise me at all. Now other sentient life? That's another matter... IF there is a God.

Eventually technology will collapse because we realize we can't live with artificial intelligence, it's just bothering us too much. Some people will be wise enough to avoid relying on too much technology and will be the ones who survive when the apocalypse comes.

i hope that in the future it will be very cool.coller than just ipods, cellphones,computers,and cars

i have this feeling ever since yesterday that im more than what i think that some day and somehow im going to be the creator of the futer......i know it sounds lame but it intrests me for some reason i cant explain but i know that i was made for something special to contribute to humanity... ive already come up with the concept of fingernail watches its actually pretty cool but i need a way for people to notice me.im only 13 i have my whole life ahead of me so just remember the name jenny andrea diaz and remember....

Maybe you should use the next 50 years to improve your English. It could take that long by the looks of it.

Man, if God Created all in 7 days, and that was what 28 billion years ago, Im sure he hasnt just been sitting on his ass ever since or before There has gotta be millons of other planets with life on them, Space is a big ass place that we cant even begin to understand, Our entire Solorsystem and everything we know of is just a tiny spec of what is out there, to be more realistic, everything we know including time istelf is the vastness of all space we know of may be nothing more than a spec of microscopic dust in another massive planet in its own space and its own even larger solar system. just like numbers as we know them it never ends. think of it like on MIB when at the end of the movie an alien opens his locker and inthere is our etire galixie and everything we know of including space itself. ... We are nothing more than a blip in time and a tiny phenomenon, we are cancer of this poor planet and untill people realise this our time is limited.

lol well Jenny I hate to say this but you have about 2 years and one month to make your mark or it will be forgoten in time, dont forget that the Bible, the Prophets of ancient greece, mexico and the meian all state the earth as we know it will be done, OVER time itself will end DEC 23, 2012. so.... get moven. I personaly dont buy it but if it does all end there at least it isnt alone in some hospital room, we can all go down together.
What do you all thing about that 2012 deals, look at all the facts first then answer with an intellegent comment not some crap about "ya gonna end" im just wondering how many actually believe this stuff.? sorry about the spelling 28yrs old but spell like im 14 lol.

enjoy ur life while you can dont worry about the future

well, i think that jenny is actually onto something, but then again, i am 13 also, so i actually can imagine that.:D but i don't think that the world will end in 2012, so i am not worrien

personally, i think the lightsaber would be quite simple. all you need, is a high powered energy beam, or laser, a lense, a pipe (PVC tubing, or metal pipe) a conductor, a power source, and a way to activate it (button or switch). (if necessary a reflective rod to keep the laser from going on forever.)

Robots will take over earth don't create them.

it may be true, but then again it mightin't, but if people just try and save the world from being like this, then theres a chance it might be fine in the future. I now turn off all my elcectricity when I'm not using it. I think everything will look like coolness, until it all breaks down, haha when it does, cauae hopefully i wont be alive by the time this happens. lol People should really watch the movie wall.e, cause it is class!!!!

we should get millions of dollars every day :) lol haha see ya

We are officially in the future, there is an LG phone that has a projector, that is the official cornerstone of the fact that we are in the future.

hey how do you know all this ..

Our planet in this solar system will continue to sustain life for 2 billion years more until the sun runs out of power. Its possible that due to our ignorance we may be extinct from nuclear wars, but its possible that cockroaches and microorganisms will survive and a new "human species" will emerge. On the bright side we might be able to colonize other planets in other solar systems of our galaxy Milky Way.

I dont think there will be life in our solar system, but I do think there are other "EARTHS" out there in the galaxy. With all this terror, killing and gay people GOD is going to terminate this EARTH!! If we all lived by simple rules we would have a much better earth!!
What if there is another earth out there? Scarry!!! we can have our internet connect with theres and be a GWN. Galaxy Wide Network.

"If you performed a best fit curve to this, it could be gleaned from this chart that at some point in the near future, we will have technology that is capable of self-improvement (aka Artificial Intelligence)."

NO IT WOULDN'T, HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU DERIVE THAT?

It would be brilliant to think that perhaps sometime, over the next 150 years, everybody on the planet would realise that we are one race - the human race. Despite our unique individual differences we would understand that money, religion and war are immaterial to our advancement in this universe. This is what world leaders should be discussing right now. This is my hope for the future, a world in harmony. I do understand however that in the meantime certain more socially advanced countries may have to bomb the s@*t out of others.

In the future, which I have clearly seen, politicians will wear diapers color-coded for party, size, and absorbency. Their constituents will wear color-coordinated outfits as a means of identification. Consummately serious haberdashers and milliners will be exclusive advertisers on Star Trek reruns playing 24/7 on the Star Trek network, the industry having purchased all rights to the series and derivative films on which each character wears a superimposed fedora. Though children will be inclined to laugh uncontrollably, comedy [and the recitation of history] will have been outlawed -- illegalized, except for jokes about constituents, their gullibility, and their ill-fitting hats.
Jay Leno’s birthday will have become an International holiday, replacing Festivus, which will have been outlawed, but for the pole toss, coincidentally the only remaining Olympic Event. The entire planet earth will have become an Internet hot spot and wind power generator, with turbines positioned everywhere, the largest resting atop the Eifel Tower, affectionately called Le fashion spin.
Under Iranian leadership, creativity and invention will have begun to flourish in peace and tranquility under the threat of nuclear holocaust. China, controlling all global debt will have become a huge rest stop and gas station serving oil to anticipated interplanetary travelers bent on seeing the fully refurbished Great Wall. Visitors will have not yet arrived. Though fresh water will be plentiful, abounding with snake heads, mud snails, zebra mussels and Chinese carp, ice will have become a legendary but valued collectors’ item seen by an equally legendary few. Hawaii will have long since become a beautiful reef, popular with lottery winners.
News will consist only of sports, fashion, rap music, Star Trek reruns and hat ads. That’s all I can remember.

The answer to everyones questions is in the ne 30 years things should be hightec because i hooked up with some local scientists and they told me that they are getting more knewledge then the average scientists.What that means is that they are almost done on this huge machine that can withstand going in the past going in the future and slowing time as we speak.What i wnt to do is finish my college and complete everyones dreams and hopes this will be rough but im 100% sure i can do it.I can do the unthinkable all i need is faith and hope my first invention i want to make a huge lab/station/factory.

we r gona be slaves... !! ... slaves of the NWO! we r gona be the robots... their robots! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

i bet theres floating cars and robots and cool awesome suits

is the END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the world will not end in 2012 but will begin! some people will move on and be transported to a different universe and some people will stay (mostly the kind and innocent).im only 14, but i got my info from a good source.... after december/21/2012 our world will be much different and there will be no evil and bad thoughts by people and kids... so im accually quite excited for 2012 (if it happens ofcourse) and if u want it to happen u jst have to believe it will happenand and leave the rest to the angels

Also,, if u want the future to be happy, entertaining and free u just have to help with the venus project. im sure some people have herd of the venus project and maybe dont believe it but give it a try, u have nothing to lose.... go to www.thevenusproject.com... just give it a look im sure u will want what u see. and it can happen!!!

will people live on other planets like mars or the moon

will our o-zone ever be fixed

Spider-Man is awesome!

hello i want to know how i will look

Guys r u all out of your mines it like only 50years we wont have floting car for about 200years

this does not sound like a good idea we r deat in 7 years

science fiction plays a huge part in our future our imagenation can become reallity. star trek for instence they can make stuff instently using computer software, in engineering they are just starting to get the hang of sintering witch is were things can be made from there powder form. maybe one day all objects will be made like this...

do u think that weapons will develop to be like halo e.g. with laser guns like in the old movies

Stop being too optimistics, 50 yrs will not be enought time for all that to happen.... I am sure those wondrful inventions will come true, time is needed. Look at the predictions of the future made by auothers decades ago... Many said we will have Roberts, flying cars and live on the moon by yr 2000. My point is, in 50 yrs, technologies wontbe that different as today, they'll be some new gadgets... But they won't be that amazing. Flying cars aren't practical if we still have roads and homes on the ground...

Condoms will be invicible. China's population will decrease. They make crappy condoms.

i really want floatinqq carsss in the future, how will they be useful though ?

i was searching for "how will i look like in the future" and ......

I dreamed of being in an empty NY once, of something happening and the city being abandoned and walking beneath rusty above-ground train rails. And hiding from a rising pelican-like ship behind what was left of a wall. Very silent, and sad.

No1 knows wats ahead. U think ppl in the 80's ever thought of havin an iPhone? Or a 50 inch HD TV. I personally think too much technology will completely change the point of man in this world.

Oo, and I forgot to say a flyin motorcycle is scheduled to be on sale by 2011. U can even have 1 put aside for u. For $2,000 usd. The total cost is $60,000 usd. U can look it up. And don't believe wat this dude says. He has no source of info. He can be makin it all up... Flyin cars are just around the corner. It's way better that ground roads. It will completely %100 eliminate traffic. Now tell me. Wat city doesn't want that. And they wud make soooo much money out of it.

i want my life 2 b easier than this in 30 yrz n i certinly want a better life n future 4 my 3 lil kids my oldest is 3 i dread 2 fink wot life will b like in 30yrz tym 4 them wot wiff the credit crunch all this stupid suff goin on.was life post turn out this way after all we all want a nice life n happy familys wiv out GUN n KNIFE crime i want every 1 2 b safe........

we will we be able to live
twice?

An egg cell needs 42 chromosomes to divide and grow into a baby. 21 in the sperm and 21 already in the egg join together at fertilisation to create 21pairs or 42 chromosomes. All the sperm does is transport its chromosomes to the egg cell safely, and trigger mitosis, cell division, growth.

It would be possible to transplant the nucleus, where chromosomes are contained, from an egg cell to a sperm cell, giving its offspring the characteristics of the two mothers, meaning the baby would definitely be a girl.

Scientists think that in the not too distant future, they will be able to bind proteins together to create an artificial, more efficient sperm. It will deliver the nuclei of one woman to the other meaning that they have had a child without any men.

If society continued to evolve but without men, what do you think would happen in the future?

Maybe you think that poverty would be abolished by women where men could not? Would women Stop dressing provocatively to arouse men, and be more stylish? Would all food be fat free and low calorie? Maybe after 1000 years of man's demise, money is no-longer used and women do things out of kindheartedness alone? Maybe there are no more wars and earth is at peace?

Or maybe there is a negative side. Will all of earth be filled with pointless chit chat? Will there be more wars or more poverty driven by greed? What will become of religion when everyone is a lesbian? Will there be religious extremist groups fighting against the women or will they have to edit their rules? What will become of the muslim's sharia law?

What do you think an earth, populated by women would be like, and do you think it's possible? Likewise, what of a world populated by men?

this is kind of stupid of people that post stuff about aliens?

Condoms will be bigger :DD

Im surprised to have found this blog, I though I was the only one writing about this...thanks.

i really think technology will kill us and end us all. we have to live how we all did many years ago by just doing things our selfs and not easy ways that are lazy and easier. we got to start using ourselfs more involved with things. trust me these new tech things are pretty hot but still we cant forget how much us humans can do! we just got to put our mind to it.

Obviously there will be more idiots...

heres how the us is gonna be like
Country in depression
Nation in despair
One man seeking reasons everywhere
Growing hate and anger
The leaders orders were precise
Who was to be blamed and pay the price!

Wicked propaganda
Turning neighbors into foes
Soldiers searching homes
And then the former friends are watching
As they are rounded up one by one
Times of prosecutions has begun

Ever since it started
On Crystal night of 2010
When liberty died
And truth was denied
Sent away on train on a one way trip to hell
Enter the gates washington awaits!

When freedom burns
The final solution
Dreams fade away and all hope turns to dust
When millions burn
The curtain has fallen
Lost to the world as they perish in flames

There was a country in depression
There was a nation in despair
One man finding reasons everywhere
Then there was raising hate and anger
The learder orders still apply
Who was to be blamed and send to die!

Robots have already been invented, but just not in america. I forgot the name, but do some research and you will find existing AI's in japan. Within 10 years or so robots might be everywhere..

Thers gotta be life on other planets somewhere

why are u guys talking about the future we are all going to die in 2012 anyway{duh}

If humanity reaches the future it will be nothing like it is now. Organic life is on the decline so in the future there will be neither meat eaters or vegetarians but instead our sustenance will be chemical. There will be no ozone layer so we will live in enclosed environments to protect ourselves from cosmic radiation. In the future there will be no more wars because by then humanity will have realized they all have to work together if they are not to become extinct.

pleasee work

wow

yea, ummm all the humans r gonna die cuz us robots r gonna kill u. have fun with life while ur stll living and well c u soon :)

In the future,will people cut our wraist in put in a bar code number in our wraists?

If the world wants flying cars and flying houses, then WE WILL DAMN WELL HAVE THEM. Also, that comment about the exponential curve of human progress is exactly correct. So, we wont invent flying cars, but well get them from our good friends, the toasters.

Chemtrails.

i wanna have those things where we put our hand prints in the door to let us in the house instead of an everyday house key

Well I can only say this:

The human population will keep growing until one day we will literally run out of space. Omce that happens the whole planet will be trashed and we will have to move to a new planet scientists discover. Your dad doesnt sound so stupid telling you to turn your pc monitor off completly now does he?

(posted from my new iphone 4g)

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the whole Earth. The bigger it grows the more disastrous the results will be. so we can dream on until the end of time! We are all going to be the slaves of a small group of selfish individuals.

Crowding,rapid change and breakdown of communities. But we will not believe the extent of the problems! The modern man will suffer from psychological problems

wow

the future will not be different from, human being will continue to born ,struggle in life and die.

will robot take over the earth, and, michins. will there be muntins, and zombies. will there be hover cars,buss,skateboard,and house.will the sun blow up will there be lost of wars and fights.

there will be a massive economic crash and all money will be worthless then all way of life will be barbaric and it will be survival of the fittest Australia will win the world cup as well cmon

Very funny Anouymouse,
you may stop giving #$*@ and other ones.

There will be no future because we will all die in 2012.

Earth and it's inhabitants and been and will continue to be shaped by the very same kind of people who comment on this page. some of you guys really disappoint me in who mentally challeged your comments were. the post by Jenny deserves some attention, she seems like she has much potential. I wish there were more 13 year olds out there with such a high drive for science. The guy who wrote the poem on the other hand needs to be completely ignored. the poem is obviously there to serve one purpose, that is to instill fear and paranoia in to the minds of it readers. I personally think that new inventions will come but nothing significant until much later. we are a very young race, with lots of fascinating ideas like partical matter transportation and laser guns. But the truth is we still have to understand the complex nature of the universe. Right now we are noticing thing like blackhole (and their actions) that we cant explain, does it mean that God made it, no, it means we don't understand it yet. We havent grasped the concepts needed for that kind of futuristic improvement. But I definitely think we will, that is if we don't destroy ourselves first. And the belief in aliens is a funny thing. the universe is estimated to have 100's of billions of galaxies with billions of stars in each one and unfortold amounts of planets. Who's is to say that not even just one other (although statistically many more) planet has life on it and perhaps intelligent life. I personally believe that belief is limited by the laws of the universe aka. physics. Believe in God, but if he isn't real it doesnt matter. Believe in a future with space cars. believe in whatever you like just don't believe that it's impossible or else we (as a race) will never advance. And for the guy named Bob, you have some nevre insulting the spelling of a 13 year old. maybe you should buy a book on self-improvement since you obviously have nother better to do than to pick on a girl who has was more forsight and ambition than yourself.

In 50 years the world will be over populated, the UK's population would be constantly growing with immagration, also
china will get more people, technology will let us live forever(Probably)

Just to tell you guys there WILL be robots, I know that because there are robots made now in 2010, There will be a way to make cars fly, There may even be a time transporter.

Im really looking forward to the future!

i think that we may have flying cars people half man half robot half animal ummmmmm animals that can talk devices that can transport people to dif worlds and places and much much much much much much more
the future is on its way wooo hooooo

will africa become a super industrial continent flourishing in technolongy.

Errrrmm well all I want is more iPod and touch stuff and computers that will be good xxxx

If we have robots doing all the work for us, then I dont think Britain will be the only country taking the number one spot at obessity. We will all be fat! And the world will have rolls because it will also be fat, then all the fat people in the world will weigh the earth down and strike the sun!! Then we're really screwed.

Just have robots to make our coffee and cook healthy meals for us and blah blah blah.
Dont wanna b fat like the peeps on WALL-E floating around on hover chairs

will the world be a better place or will the world just stay the same well not the same but will there be new inventions well there oviously are but will it be any thing that can change the world.

people flying in cars

okayy soo ,, the gods will desend and ome down to eather to beat the crap out of the alieans that are going to come in the future and there going to steal jenn the asian god and take her to the god lands,, then with the asian god and the aliens gone its going to be really cool on earth

the illuminati will probably trying to take over the world by then.

Computer engeneeres would work on the brain of the computer of the monetary system for the anticrist the 666 on the rigth hand and Jesus of course would had come by that time priorly and the apocalis would run like a profetic childrens literature for the people of the future.

DO YOU THINK THATS? ALL TRUE?... THE FLOATING THING OR THE MOON THING?.... IM NOT SURE

will there be floating trees in HAWAII ????

I don't think there will be a transition from an oil dependent society in the next 50 years.

Maybe a 100 years or 150 years, but not 50 years.

we're all gonna die in 2012 so it doesn't matter.

What about the new planet that was discovered in October? That planet has been confirmed that it has an Atmosphere,it has water, land,but, it does not revolve or rotate, so that means that one side of the planet is always day, and the other side is always night. and also, it is 20 light years away from earth. NASA will have to create something that could travel at at least half the speed of light. wow. i couldn't believe it either.

@anonymous

your real confident

Don't want to be pessimistic but most people will be dead by then or too old to enjoy it! LOL

There will be flying cars,automatic flush if you use the toilet,flying tanks,electric wrenches,a boat that can neither be an airplane or the one it used to be and my biggest thought,we will find life on other planets and some of us will stay there.

Our world should be based on the uglies series

I think the future will become worse, because right now many people are losing their jobs, and in the future robots will be operating all the machines, so the owner won’t need any workers and he won’t have to waste money paying the workers cause the robots will be doing all the work.

We will be looking for caves to live in. There will be no more technology

I think the future is going to be stupid because they are going to change this time and right now is asome I think Other planets stole are them so we no have to change are theme a d the reason why they stole are theme is because it is so ASOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to be part of the future BUT cant get there i have an invention on how to make An electric car go much furth ..Iv emailed .So mamy top Personalitys..At a big O they dont Anser me.,I have had other inventions Stolden ..Over seas..Oh well. Who will care ..Anyone????

I guess I will know in 50 years how the future will look

The fake boots are made from pigskin or cowhide. When you look more closely at the boots, you will notice some tiny holes on the surface of the uggs outlet. This indicates that the boot is manufactured from low quality pigskin. UGG Ultra Short Boots Or do some research on the retailer that you are planning to purchase the footwear from.

Pc engeneeres would function on the brain of the personal computer of the monetary method for the anticrist the 666 on the rigth hand and Jesus of course would had come by that time priorly and the apocalis would run like a profetic childrens literature for the people of the future.

whow flying cars,robots thaths so coooooooooooooool

Who says humans will still be around in 50 years. There are thousands of Warheads online and ready to fire on command in the hands of the US and Russia alone.

what I wish would be in the future would be really high rise buildings with flying cars,booming economy,and booming technology........ also really cool and awesome pc games.!!!!!!!

light sabers

everything would be like starwars when everyone kills echother in space

KILL DA ROBOT SHIT AND DA WORLD DON'T END IN 2012 ....IT END WHEN GOD WANT IT 2

ooooaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.......... fuck all of ye yar all Wrong!!!!!!!! ummm in other news I heard they're inventin this thing called 'SKYNET' hmmmm... wonder what it's about....could be wicked. ;)

We have to get past 2012 first!

The future will have flying cars that will run on music

they are making cars that are 2 seater, no trunk, electric and 2 wheeled cars that have motion sensors to stop when other cars do and when pedestrians walk across roads. they come in three different versions: the standard blue one, sports car red one, and the totally pimped out black one with green lights and interior. they all look like half a smart car shaped like a bubble. they wont be for sale until like 2030.

just to let you know, 2012 is when the sun gives off a solar flare and it will wipe out most of the earth to nothing. this happens every 26 000 years and life restarts its cycle. it may not happen in 2012, it is like a ticking time bomb and could happen tomorrow or 1 million years from now. no one knows.

why do we need flying cars when we could all have helicopters?

Personal jet packs, food in pill form and colonizing the moon. Hang on a minute - thats what they said we would be doing in the year 2000 back in the seventies!

The future has always been an interesting topic for me. Ever since I was 7 (currently 11) I have always wondered about the future and used information that I learned and discovered to think of what the future might be like.

For example, you all probably have heard of the idea of cloning, right? They have already started making an invention that can make a copy of objects (not just paper). So far they have made skin, and they replaced a mouses heart using it. They don't have to take medication to keep their body from destroying it because it is theirs! Couldn't they use the same thing to make another person?

Aliens are another popular topic that comes up when talking about the future. I believe that there are aliens and here is why. We only know of what God did for us on Earth. How vain it is for us to think that He has made everything for us and not any others.

Since I was really little I have even thought of (very stupid) inventions. Some of them now exist or are currently being created. One idea that I had was a pair of shoes that allowed you to type something then appear as a hologram.

Remember, anything is possible (except slamming a revolving door.) :)

we r never going to get far in technology because the human mind is not advanced enoughed to build those kind of things (i.e. fling cars, u will need a very powerful soure to make the car fly and we don't have that technology

ps im 11

Our brains will shrink more.

Aliens in bikinis. Or corporate-owned matrioshka brains.

There will won't be any future. It will all be virtual reality. To live in reality means your just repairing your machine to go back online to VR.

Im 1oo% sure were all gunna be ninjas (;

QK

Once you notice you're in the real world, you won't want to go back to VR... just go unplug everybody else

will football players be

50 years from now....Maybe we can only see trees in books and rivers in paintings.

Sad to imagine what the world will look like 50 years from now if we don't stop destroying the earth.


Ella Faith Harriz

Life expectancy of human may increase. Scientists may be able to discover something that would make peps live for more than 150 years!

There is no future for us.The rapture is near.Be prepared and follow the path of god if you want to be saved from hell.?

haha f/u i'm going to rule hell!

There is no future for us if we don't stop destroying mother earth, if we don't take good care of our Mother nature. Me, personally since I am a Home Education Tutor, I teach my student to value life and give respect to the environment....We can have modernization without destroying our world

For me, the world will still be there adapting the changes but the people will be different since we will be passing on the world to next one.

For me, the world will still be there adapting the changes but the people will be different since we will be passing on the world to next one.E-B

What will happen to U.S imperalism war on the world.
Will europe exist or turn into a multicultural shit hole that will back fire and be takon over by indpendent country like china.
Will new man made disease like aids be created to control population and types.

umm to the 2012 freaks, its a new ERA of time, a new CHAPTER for human kind, a new biggeining, a time with peace takes over. and the future will hold whatever gadgets get though of, how are we to know what it holds, the way were going now with war and all we may be dead before 2012 even gets here. i for one a ashamed of mankind..... all we want is war war and more war, dominace over other countrys, new technolagy just to take out other ountrys, people that are racist, poverty becoming worse then 10 years ago, if all this continus we wont see 2012, we wont have a new begnning, we wont have peace we wont have a new chapter, we will be dead.. come on people ( mankind ) were ALL HUMAN we bleed red togther, why the hell do you want to KILL YOOUR ON KIND? damn i am ashamed of mankind.............

if we have peace after 2012 and still alive i believe we could have within 50 years is:

new meds to cure more sickness.

better fuel for the cars and all ( i doubt we will have flying cars in 50 years ) and to help the ozone layer to

better technolagy, better robots that will help us more but NOT make us lazy.

aliens helping us out ( if the government lets them instead of killing them like they do in area 51 )

living in harmany with everyone ( thats if peace keeps up, if we EVER make peace. ) and aliens living along side us to better our everyday lives..

quite a few more stuff to. but again i dont think well get that much farther in technolagy in 50 years then what we have now. that is if we make peace and start working with our own kind instead of killing them off with war and all that........

I don't think there will be any aliens,besides I'm a Christian.God created human,not alien.

Posted by: Tina

im a christian too, but it is quite possible that there is other life forms that God created. He created a vast, beautiful universe, and it seems unlikely that god did it for one little kind. The aliens could possibly be humans also, just with different languages, animals, environments, etc. Or maybe he created thousands of different earths with the exact same solar systems, planets, animals, etc., just with different outcomes. maybe the dodo bird didn't go extinct. Maybe God didn't have any reason to flood the earth so their civilization is slightly more advanced than ours. Who knows except for God?

What future lies ahead for us if we don't stop what we are doing right now.

The next 50 years will be productive if the people of today will be educated to take care of nature.

i been to the future in my time machine. No details on that for i do not want to be know. We will be one race, white, one religion, none, and one language, english. Things will be in the air since the ground was mostly destroyed durning Civil War 2 (Killing of other race groups) and WW3. Better government, better life, better everything. NO CRIME

theres no need to think about the future if there is stiil things we need to fix that happened in the past like racisism.if we all speak one language and quit being assholes about money and making things high priced the world would be better in the futureif there is one.

U can do everything on hear and more , If u live a GOOD CATHOLIC life , And GOD allows YOU Entrance into THE KINGDOM OF GOD .. (HEAVEN)....
Get praying people ... oooo and GOD allows every one into his KINGDOM,, NO MATTER YOUR RELIGION...LONG LIVE JESUS)

Thanks for reading this , hope you understand what I mean ...

"even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it will never replace the common experience if it is not genuine" I disagree, experience is in our mind. What is "real"? and how can you prove it. Perception and reality as we know it exists in the mind, if you could trick the mind into a world of realistic (or even more vibrant than reality) it'd be real enough. I don't like the pessimistic bias of this article :(

all of you people our funny :) and stop saying the world is ending in 2012 you dumbies.

If anything happens in 2012, it will only be a solar flare that that knocks out our satellites, leaving earth in a rough spot, but not near destroyed. about 20-30 years later, maybe a little more, aliens will finally give themselves away and help us rebuild and become strong again.. thats all i know for now. im sorry, but god is not real. religion is not real. aliens messed with neanderthal DNA to create the way we look and act today. aliens ARE god.. aliens have helped us before, to understand the wonders we know now, everything from the light bulb to atomic weapons. the people who "invented" these things were abducted, and the idea was planted in them, for the better. for now, the aliens study us through "abduction". it is not as crazy and unrealistic as it may seem...please look more into this..
-Dennis Cloud

what about the gas price? will that ever go down

No religion.... please.

Will the cristianity be the only religion?

flying cars of big flying houses

there should be flying cars and talking robots that do whatever we want!

I dont really get what any of u guys just said eplain in more detail plz!

There will be robots. They are already making sex robots that are supposed to come out within the next 50 years. They say the first ones to come out will cost around a mil, but after years they will come down to just a couple hundread bucks. you will be able to order male or female and any size any color. Just how you want it. And they will simulate moaning and movement just like a real human.

Myla

Well it might be a great future or maybe not who knows

aaaaaaa.... robots will destroy us. we all gonna die

critical essay tips

I never want to go to the future i want to be with my girl in the present

The fact is we most likely already have the technology we speculate on being the futures necessities. The military industrial complex had laptop computers, LED lights and lithium batteries 50 years ahead of the civilian populous, the same goes for history. In ancient Egypt the royalty had working light bulbs and batteries... We are far more advanced than 99% of us think!

Future will revert back. We've had it too good. My site www.insure-db.com will be huge. How's that for a prediction? Let's hope.

laugh my ass on, 4+1=5 duh

i only belive after 50 years is im still living at that time LOL X)

i wonder since one day we will run out of materials for us to use such as water and without water we will have no oxygen or fish so what to us then maybe we adapt and do not need these maybe scientists will find a way to make us be young and live forever or turn us into robots maybe somewhere in space air and oxyfen wil be brought over to space truth is nobody know but i do know this 4 million years ago i was an ape

Robots are GAY!!!!! its all bout GIR!!!!

people should be able to read each others mind!!!

there shouldnt be any teachers because the robots will be teaching instead!!! yay

>>It would be cool if buildings were somehow built in a matter of >>seconds, not in months or years

It has already happened.... in Ireland....judging by the quality of workmanship in many of the house-builds in the so-called 'boom years'.

will there be robots and flying cars

There is less intelligence than grammar in this thread.

Everybody get your tinfoil hats.


*iM 12 nd i am the futur, i had a dreme that i was the saviur of humanty. remembr me. im goin 2 make a big robot tht dos evrythgn for evry1 so we can all hav fun

ok so everything has a cause and effect situation correct? then if we create artificial intelligence then what stops what limits this AI being? the design will be similar to that of humans the inner will to fight, unpredictable reactions.ect. we would be caught in AIWW where we (humans) would be domesticated basically robot pets where this war would consume us buttttttttt.......there is a flip side like the first post its cronological order look at our CIVIL war for the freedom of African Americans.Same for human kind. AI's fight in this case is the fight over space (territory) and natural resources. and our war with machine is over (not terminator) it was either kill us all w/ nukes or surrender. in relation also how machines will create... and i also believe their creation will and so forth. but then it would be another war intergalactic space travel is the past now we blow up galaxies dark matter and black holes are the new nukes where robots had interplanet maybe near galaxy travel w/ the power to destroy

planets these are just a further look into our future 50 years wont actually have anything in store but us whining an complaining about the people we live with or our neighbors an hey you see that thing on the news today that happened last week Congress will not pass any law relating to the "idea" of youth unless it is somewhat related to them next 100 oh ya this is our age the one we can accomplish as long as we hold true to our basic traits love meaning and our loved ones......

family values... tradition.

anyways im geeting writers block just remember (ALL) NOTHING OF THOUGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE....even AI or ai's ai.... NOTII... Y? cause its NOTII XP

There is a flipside to everything especially life....the future is unpredictable in the random sequence it runs in....and nothing is set in stone especially words....

What the freak this makes no sense? Yall are some weirdos

I wish and i pray the that God of heave and earth will open the eyes of world today to see how close the end is coming and the opening of the new chapter in the history of world , we are about to stand in world without pain, and at same time those who refuse to expect of the love of God will live in great darkness. kimeli from kenya

will all the artists like lil wayne be as big as they are now in the future????????????

Ever read the book called "the feed" im 17 going on 18, this generation is doomed for. Why? This is because of the advancments in everything why go back to the way human-beings were most succsseful instead of having fun with an iphone 5 speed 370z tones of weed bitchs and beer.

Imagine if future got robot :3

Your future is wide open. Make it what you will.

I reckon the future will be what ever we make it to be, from an industrial park to a sleek streamlined future. that is unless there is something that happens which is beyond our control.

I think the futur will be over crouded over poluted and a discusting wast land if we don't change anything. The world's o zone is getting thin, how long until it brakes. The water is getting polluted, how long till it's undrinkable. The air is getting more polluted by the day how long until we can't breath the air. We cut down more trees everyday, how long until they are all gone. Think about all the energy it would take to make "floating" anything. In the futer I see soler power, wind power, and water power. If not then how long until world over. I am only 12,think about it

Dude...I'm 11 years old and this is the year 2012 I'm living in? I mean, the world didn't burst and finish on New Year's 2012 celebration, did it? I'm a Muslim and even though I believe in Doomsday, I don't believe in 2012 'Ending of the World' because NO ONE can predict the future and ending, as I think, only God can. Get that burned in your brain if you're not atheist, okay? Sorry if this was harsh. ;)

Artificial Intelligence is the most possible & the vast change that will take place sooner or later. Most probably computers will dominate their power & we will have to report to them. Please upload more details about Artificial Intelligence.

i think in the future that the world wont change much ya its the future but unless scientist can make a quick discovery in the next 50 years than ya its possible but till scientist find something new and is useful that will change the world like albert einstein did but the way the government is and they way the economy is i see no chance for a change in the world and the ways those damn liberals are with there energy efficient stuff and health care, food stamps and everything else i dont see a chance in the change of anything so until the conservatives make something happen then go for it try to make a difference but i see no chance so i say liberals get over it you cant have the whole world on the stimulas bill and health care so to until we get out of depth to we dont have no government spending so wake up and smell the coffe stop dreaming

Will ther be hover shoes to float with your shoes

if we keep destroying it like we do it will not be a nice site in 50 years

PAKISTAN WILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST COUNTRIES IN THE FUTURE!
