Discussion You wake up, and it's suddenly 2050...

[ansuperhero]

How does the world around you look like? What direction has society taken?

Make your future predictions in this thread.

I feel like that anyway. Like I just woke up here and don't know where my life went

 

[draw a circle]

WW3 probably?? I'm not putting much hope in society lmao; Detroit: Become Human might as well happen, except I'm not even sure we can manage a fully functional android mass production in in 30 years. But I feel we're gonna fuck shit up though.

A barren wasteland...

 

[Good4Nothing]

I'll be 78. No thanks.

Environment severely wrecked, half of the human population dead, the other half in wars for resources, abandoned man-made infrastructure everywhere.

We will be drowning in plastic pollution 100x worse than it is now. You'll no longer be able to spend time at the beach because it's covered in debris washed up from the ocean. We will have lost many marine species and many others will be extinct. There will be a shortage of fish or none at all. Half the population in western countries will be too obese to make it up the stairs without getting out of breath and life expectancy will decline. But in other parts of the world it will increase. Poverty will be at an all time high. Millions more will die of starvation every year than they do today. Among many other bad things. Not much to look forward to.

I suppose a lot has changed in the past 50 years, but people are still assholes and they always will be.

I would be either age 59-60 by that time. As someone who doesn't believe life to have a meaning and given the state of humanity, I have little confidence or hope in better things in 2050. Also, given my age at that time, I'd likely have some health problems by then and only going downhill. So I'd just CTB if I'd wake up in 2050.

Humanity is all but gone and the world is over run by dogs. I for one welcome our new canine overlords.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

I'm kinda shocked we've made it this long. The way things are going I don't even think I can fathom that far ahead.

 

[Green Destiny]

Total oblivion. The earth may remain but humanity is either completely wiped out or on the brink of extinction.

 

[XYZ]

Fuck me, how lucky I am. I am 90 and will be dead soon. Sign me up for this! Like that movie with Adam Sandler where he fast forwards through life.

The world looks just the same, maybe a few more solar panels and wind turbines coz we ran out of coal and oil.

The world is a lot stricter everywhere ( I think this will be very true). Moving closer to 1984 I predict. Ireland might have de-criminalized probably not. We have quantum computers. We have bases on mars. I don't think a world war could occur again because of all the peace keeper organisations. We are still losing the drug war. Maybe some good things but nothing worth living probably.
