20 years from now, you will have gone through a lot of tinfoil hats. Those things don't hold up well.

I wonder if I can actually become more of a cranky, dirty old man... I guess I'll know, 20 years from now.

I am confident that you can, and whether you succeed or fail I hope you spend the next 20 years trying!

Overpopulation is not an issue. Read about the green revolution, and how that vastly increased the amount of people Earth could sustain. GM crops are going to allow us to do similar things with a predicted 9 billion.

20 years from now, it will be possible to sequence your entire genome for under $100, and within a day or two. Computing power will have continued to increase exponentially and its price drop, meaning computers are absolutely ubiquitous everywhere - drones in particular are going to become a big thing for governments/research. 3D printing will also be more common-place, but still a fringe activity, and mind-to-computer interfaces will be approaching the point where they're available for mass-market use.

Also, Half Life 3 might be released by then.

I love you, Escapist. Most other places where something like this gets posted would have at least some people taking it seriously and believing it. But you guys go straight in with parody and debunking.

20 years from now all the children who watched the Transformers movies and where insired will be directors making horrible, loud, explosion filled, adrenaline junky movies that have no sense of plot, style or structure. Most of these movies will be made entirely out of CG using a hologram of Will Smith, Bruce Willis or Jackie Chan teamed up with popular female celebrity of the time.

i am currantly constructing an underground bunker that will contain enough David lynch, John carpenter, Steven Speilberg and other movies to sustain me.


20 years from now George Lucas will be releasing the enitire Starwars boxset with all new remastered scenes such as now Han Solo and Greedo come to a peaceful resolution, with them calmy discussing the predicament over a cup of tea.

20 years from now, I won't know who you are.
I won't know what you wanted.
If you were looking for ransom, I can tell you I didn't have money... but what I did have were a very particular set of skills.
Skills I have acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
If you let my daughter go back then, that would have been the end of it - I wouldn't have looked for you, I would not have pursued you... but you didn't, so I will look for you, I will find you...
And I will kill you.

Makes sense to me. :p

Captcha: Taco Tuesday.
...Indeed.

20 years from now you'll be disappointed I feel.

20 years from now, there will be large scale war.

20 years from now, there will be a plague of massive proportions.

20 years from now, there will be 18% oxygen, guess how much you need to live?

20 years from now, there will be mass famine in the third world.

20 years from now, all of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa will destroy themselves.

20 years from now, there will be no foreign travel outside the first world.

20 years from now, we will be killing people who try to cross the oceans.

What are you going to do to stop it? What can you do?

Many people will see this as a lie, a way to seek attention, a hyperbole at a disgusting degree; but, sadly I speak out only because no one seems willing to speak up. Many people are saying save the environment, it is stupid to even try. We should not be trying to save that environment we should be trying to save ourselves. We need to start planting trees and increasing the O2 in the atmosphere; because, if we don?t we will all die.

Even if we do everything we can there is one simple fact. We need to reduce our population. There are simply too many people to remain stable forever.
Do you have anything to back up any of this?

Oh my God y'all, OP is an Esper and a Timer Traveler.

Because some of those statements are kinda specific. Of course, the world is pretty much always in a state of "war" on some, small scale. A large scale war though? Ummmmmmm.

And that stuff about Asian, the Middle East(which IS Asia), and Africa destroying themselves is downright farfetched.

20 years from now the world will be much the same, except the rich will have more gadgets, better provisions and higher living standards.

The only solid prediction I would make is that we will all have our own personal 3D printers, and they will be integrated into our daily lives as much as the internet has been.

Say hello to piracy of EVERYTHING.

And enjoying the irony of the "you wouldn't download a car" videos, in an age where you can.

20 years from now, Square-Enix will still not be making a remake/remastering of Final Fantasy 7
20 years from now, Square-Enix will have released 10 new FF7 spin-off games and 2 movies
20 years from now, Valve will have been teasing Half-Life 4 for at least a decade
20 years from now, tea-cup elephants (elephants that are small)
20 years from now, guinea bears (bears that are small)
20 years from now, mobile suits (at least in R&D)
20 years from now, I'll be 44 and I'll still have to ask my wife for confirmation of that fact whereas 20 years before I've only had to ask my GF my age three times.

This is really fun!

20 years from now people will still be self-centred enough to believe that billions of years of life will come to a halt while they happen to be alive.
