What will the world be like in 20 years?

Let your imaginations go wild

 

A desolate barren nuclear irradiated wasteland crawling with giant roaches.

 

probably not that different from now

 

Fatter, unhealthier, with a greater divide between rich and poor and way more gadgets to keep you from actually having to do anything...

 

yes, we keep evolving , humans keep getting larger and larger, taller, etc. and not to mention lazy. we already have enough gagets to sit on our asses and do so much. hell im sitting on my ass and talking to alot of people right now.
i see the world being trashier, harder to get jobs, alot of poverty, more people will be medicated, when its not neccessary, and alot of war. yay. im looking forward to it. :|
not to mention that im going to be 47! eww. im scared to turn 30!

 

Jeez, I'll be 53. I'll probably be needing some of those gadgets if my lifestyle hasn't already caught up with me by then.

 

if i have any say in it, it'll look like this....>

I think the world will be a better place in 20 years. I think more people are starting to realize that we can't go on living like this and they're beginning to come around. However, anything is a possibility.

 

except newer gagets and consumer bullshit.

 

i'd say but i don't want to jinx it. sure cultures have a lot of inertia so some things, a lot of things will probably LOOK kindof the same, or at lest something like they had before at some point in time. possibly some several different ways from several different points in time. architecture for example evolves, but all the old buildings aren't torn down every time it does. on the othere hand, economic and resource factors can force chainges dispite cultural inertia, as can a variety of othere incentives. so of course some things will chainge less visibly then others. i think gas will start getting very expensive. enough finally to make a lot of people want to drive a lot less. cars and roads won't have noticably begun to dissappear yet, but the signs will be there, a few of the gas stations or gas station chains, might go into bankrupsy because what they have to charge to make a profit will be right at the bleeding edge of what mass motorist commuting is able to afford. how much else will have chainged and how much, will probably continue to depend upon where on the planet you're viewing it from.

20 years is only just barely enough for longer term trends to become visible. i think all these wars to keep people from thinking about what we are doing to the environment, most of them anyway, will have sorted themselves out, i hope. or at least they won't continue to effectively prevent people from doing so.

we won't have the same bunch of loonies running things.
and the next bunch might not be entirely the same.
but here again we're getting into where i don't want to jinx the good side of what might happen, or perpetuate what is motivating so many of the problems we have now.

A gigantic volcanic eruption beneath the ocean in Indonesia will fill the atmosphere with dust an tip the planet into a perpetual chill. The newest reality game show, "Who Wants to be a Capitol Felon?" will top the ratings on American Television. Also popular will be the "Rubbernecker Channel" where camera crews will be dispatched to highway accident scenes to film so people can watch from the convenience of their living room couches. This will prove to be the most frequently TiVo'ed program in history.

 

Ha, keep telling yourself that. Or keep NOT paying attention to what's going on in the world.

For anyone interested in this topic, read a book by Daniel Pinchbeck called "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl".

 

Wow..it will be really bad and I will be 36 years old haha.

 

Small scattered bands of human survivors forced to live underground after the planet-killer doomsday asteroid impact.

I hope that it just keeps getting better and better!! help take care of the earth, In my town I started calling around about recycling, now they made it manditory, IT is now a city ordanance, You have to recycle!!!! Yeah I can make a difference and you can tooo!!!!

 

2027. If I'm still around I'll be 73, retired and living in an elderhostel in Amsterdam. Pollution will be solved as we'll be driving vehicles which require no fuel, and waste disposal and recycling will be easy, non-polluting and available worldwide. Non-polluting jetliners can take us to the other side of the world in a couple hours, at easily affordable rates. World population will slowly drop as birth control becomes a free service everywhere. World peace will be the norm as people of all races, religions and ideologies learn to live in harmony. Poverty and hunger will be a thing of the past.

Or maybe we'll all be dead from WWIII. I don't know.
