Soloman Tump Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 So I just read Asimov's predictions made 50 years ago, some of which were fairly accurate. Can we go one up one of the greatest scientific minds of recent times, and accurately predict what will happen 50 years from now? Go. 1. Watmm will not exist so the people of 2064 will never know if these become true or not. 2. Toilet paper will be recycled in-house and formed from a hyper antibacterial polymer. 3. Emigration will be outlawed due to mass transit of peoples. Inter continental travel will be restricted in some way. No need to travel for business. 4. Space travel will still be shit but we will have some science colony on the moon or Mars. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The world is divided into two parties, those that welcome their AI overlord who promises equality and world peace and the paranoid conspiracy theorists who believe the AI is buttering us up for something dastardly.

Soloman Tump Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 I believe that magazines, papers, books etc will all be a thing of the past completely. Trees will be grown and harvested for fuel only in a sustainable fashion. I hope ancient woodlands will be protected from development and kept as places of tranquility.

Reinehr Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The human life span will be extended to 200 years, but the last 150 will be spent in unremitting pain and sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagi Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 overpopulation => food/water/energy/resource shortages => drawn-out conflicts and perpetual unrest. in a situation like that, harsh policing of transit/migration is very probable. Australia will try to become an island fortress. but fuck knows really, it's impossible to predict given all the wildcards. some kind of painful readjustment from the bubble we've created is inevitable though.
