Global Peace.
Stop laughing it could happen.
Still laughing.
OK 50 years.
Fine, I'm dreaming.
If you took a trip off planet this week and came back after 25 years, what changes would you expect to find?
Probably some great advances in technology but mostly the same old same old. People would still be starving to death while the powers that be are spending billions of $ on wars.
Based on some recent reading, here are a few I find likely:
-More people starving, migrating from higher sea levels and unsustainable lands.
-Far fewer species left.
-Nano technology will increase exponentially, leading to astounding medical advances very few can afford.
-Expansion of virtual reality will transform, begin to replace, direct social interaction
-The financial collapse of notable democratic govts, with many more looming.
-Expansions in human knowledge, science and backlash against jihadism will have throttled up the demise of religion.
-Cash will have become nearly extinct. A wider gap extends between the Haves and Have-nots, with ever more of the latter; those who get work will hold expendable positions in jobs servicing the Haves...think feudal France.
-Some countries will legislate against burial of the dead, for lack of available ground.
-Huge wind and solar farms crop up in the Australian outback, the Southwest US and certain African nations, while the unceasing madness in Mideast countries and flagging dependence on OPEC will fuel their increasing irrelevance and poverty.
-Despite an inevitable, public disinformation campaign, California will become the recognized black sheep among American states, if it hasn't already been voted out or flattened by The Big One. People will leave in droves to flee the govt disaster there. **This one has already begun.
My mom keeps telling me this will be her last Thanksgiving.... 😞😢
Didge I am not much of a traveler. Can I bring a few of my luxuries with me if I gotta travel? Will there be a Walmart there? How about a flushing toilet with a locking door? Just sayin...... 😆
I would expect to find self driving cars ...shuttles to hotels in space with floating maids ... And carb free baguettes.
Extinct of fossil fuels, and decrease in global warming ,possibly our beautiful mother earth would heal :) but I don't know whether it would take 25 years .
Next is the improvement in technology ,possibly AI would invade our world .
Phones would be easier to use
Cars would be safer
And chelsey clinton would be president oh lord or a bush relative more disgust
New world leaders.
New wars.
25 years of sports.
Nothing of consequence being done regarding any important issues.
People could wire their brains directly to the internet.
My neighborhood will have gone to s---, and the taxes increased.
That I might get back in the spaceship for good.
