What areyour predictions for world in 80-100 years’ time?
You can makesocial, environmental, economic, military, space, medical, technological,religious predictions. Also, we are talking world-wide, not just the UnitedStates.
We all WANT worldpeace, total equality – racial, gender, age etc. - , no racism, no poverty.But, is this practical? So, this thread is about what you believe the worldwill be like in 80-100 years, not what you would like it to be. Will humans beexploring and colonising space with amazing technology? Will we live extendedlives by increasing longevity (at least for the rich)? Will religion (allreligions) be a thing of the past? Will a few humans be surviving in a post-apocalypticworld? Will some unknown disease cause a pandemic around the world? Yes I knowno one can predict with certainty, but it will be interesting to see whatothers think based on trends now witnessed in society.
Personally,I think that as long as there are people there will be inequality of some sort,and there will always be a war going on somewhere. I also don’t think we willever end poverty around the world. My eldest grand-daughter thinks that an apocalypseis inevitable and the world will go backwards. Grand-daughter number two thinksthat environmental damage is the biggest problem the world faces and we will beliving in unbearable heat with limited vegetation. When grand-daughter numberone heard her sister’s prediction, she nodded in agreement that that is apossible scenario.
So mypredictions are:
1) There will be a world war - Islam againstthe rest of the civilised world. It will be long and it will be vicious and itwill be winner take all. If Islam is victorious then the survivors will liveunder the most repressive, evil and brutal world the world has ever seen. Ifcivilisation is victorious, then most rights people take for granted willdisappear, at least temporarily, due to paranoid governments and society. Ireally do believe that a war with Islam is inevitable, although not in mylifetime.
OR
2) There is a good chance that a new anddeadly disease will sweep the world and destroy most of us. I am surprised ithas not happened for a while considering past epidemics.
Please putin your 2 bob’s worth.
