firstly, how does that impact on 100 years from now? secondly, what tosh. the human race has been around an awfully long time and faced some substantial trails which it has overcome with aplomb. you might consider that western society could break down and no longer be around in 200 years, but short of full scale intercontinental nuclear war where even the Southern hemisphere is targeted with multiple warheads, the human race will carry on a good while yet.

We have enough resources to maintain all the world .....without weapons.
The money will have to go, it's not secure to have currency unless people are chipped with their credit electronically imprinted and matched to a grand computer record.

Automation is replacing need for many jobs, & we cannot keep unemployment rising all the time.
Overpopulation will keep the situation heading downwards.

Country borders will fade, the need for them diminishes.
Marriage will be outdated and there will be no need.

Alcohol will be gradually taken away, marijuana will replace it

Following a catastrophic global event on the scale of WW2 caused by our current mindless raping of the worlds finite resources and the corruption in politics in all nations, the world settles down into a new form of globalised socialism which has been scientifically designed to evolve with the times to serve the needs of everyone all around the world by creating absolute equality and eradicating poverty completely, while being maximally efficient with the worlds resources.

As cancer is cured and all body parts apart from the brain can be medically replaced, the most common cause of death becomes old age. World population still grows but not so rapidly- so humanity still needs to be innovative with land space and artificial islands and vertical cities are built for people to live, work and travel - This precedes the colonisation of space, which begins as the scientific understanding of gravity and how to counter it occurs. The first manned craft lands on Mars in 2037 and by 2113 hundreds of men permanently live and work on the moon, and scores on Mars.

Another useful aspect of the problem of gravity being solved is that there is longer a need for cars - it is a common sight to see organised herds of flying people and pods in the skies, while robots are working hard maintaining the streets. Employment is no longer essential, as most jobs are done by machine - but instead it is encouraged, celebrated and rewarded to work - especially in jobs that help people or society in general. Education however is compulsory until 21, with a majority of people being educated in science, maths, philosophy and art. The most famous people in the world are scientists, the most wealthy the people who have saved the most lives - and the people of the 22nd century will consider our own society to be full of greed, ignorance, inequality, wastefulness, barbarousness, poverty, cruelty and an absolute absence of respect.

Absolute equality is not so much about what you have in life, but instead being born with the same opportunity to achieve exactly what everyone else can, without exception - as opposed to being born into wealth or poverty as we do in the current world.

Nobody would begrudge the heroes, great inventors or the hardest workers of the world living in the more desirable properties, having the most acclaimed pieces of art or attending the most in demand events, for example. Nobody would want to live in a world where every home is the same and we all live the same lives either. Wealth does not have to mean money - A system can be designed to reward the people who most deserve it, with nobody else begrudging it because they are rewarded as according to what they choose to do too.
