How do you envision humanity 100 years from now?

[Taybha]

Mancunians will be bemoaning the fact of how the city used to be full of Red replica shirts and not the Blue and White stripes of 5 time treble winners Brighton and Hove Albion .

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.

this because it sounds the most plausible but can I add to this
Albion thrown out of the world league after winning their 10th championship in a row and are much,much to good for the other teams
the Amex is to be turned into a shrine to *********** whoever you wish to put in there.
and people camp in Stanmer Woods just to stand in the queue to see the wall of fame

This will be one hell of a threat bounce.

Jet-packers will be moaning about the queues at the Bennetts Field helipad

Even if life changes in a million ways, humankind will still be asking the ultimate question:

When are the fixtures out?

This sounds kinda nice but I fear the opposite. People of power and influence will surround themselves with bribed yes-men. As resources dwindle these groups will become armed militias, rule of law breaks down and wars break out with greater frequency, genocide is common. It'll be like the dark ages again (bit like the middle east is becoming now). Sad to say, I can only see the human race heading downwards from here , we are a naturally aggressive species and there will always be the despots who will not allow such a utopia to happen.The world is awash with arms and this scenario is here and now in many countries.

I'll get back to my roast beef.

 

[BBassic]

We'll be living in a post-singularity transhumanist utopia.

 

[Baldseagull]

An alien invasion of Lizard like people will try to take over the world and fail, a new religion based on the writings of David Icke will be the dominant world religion afterwards.
We will all wear tin foil hats to prevent the Lizard people from controlling our minds with their thought transmitter on the Moon.

I was thinking a lot about this recently. It was due to the fact that we watched The Village on BBC1 which was set prior to the first world war which was 50 yrs before I was born and of course I have been witness to 50 years of change. When you look at the progress made between 1912 and 1962 and then look at what has changed since then it is frightening how much faster progress is being made.

Has no one seen Wall-E we will all be sitting in chairs in a spaceship. Jeeeeezzz

Crystal Palace go into liquidation a record 8th time.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Some significantly large shit, much bigger than that at the Amex, will hit the fan sooner or later and those left will just have to start again.

Crystal Palace go into liquidation a record 8th time.

You missed a nought out-80th time

 

[Two Professors]

Sunni's and Shia's will stop fighting and become Sunshines

You obviously mis-read the thread title. It said 100 years, not 20 years!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Fewer people. Bacteria and viruses mutate quicker than we do. The flu epidemic of 1919 killed more people than WW1. The bugs will smack us again and again. Its called 'the way of things'.

Also, people will probably have to take a training course and pass exams before they are allowed to vote. That's more a hope than a prediction. The inalienable right of the stupid, contrary and belligerent to outvote me seems to be far too entrenched right now. Democracy, like life, is wasted on the living. Oh well. Bring on he bacteria . . .

Oh and global warming, like Toyah - its a mythtery. ;-)

. Over Population is a problem facing mainly Muslim countries, elseware birth rates are stable or falling.
.

Is that by % increase, or by real number increase?

Because China's population is growing by the largest number and they're not muslim, so assuming you meant by %, these are the top 5:

1. Liberia (86% Christian 12% Muslim)
2. Burundi (75% Christian, 20% indiginous, 5% Muslim)
3. Afghaistan (99% Muslim)
4. Western Sahara ('no structured religion - described as 'tribal, with basis in Islam')
5. East Timor (99.1% Christian, 0.3% Muslim)
