It would be destroyed in 2012....Saucycardog said:
But in all seriousness Saudi Arabia would turn hostile after its oil supplies are gone bring the whole Middle East against the West, this causes trade with nations like China to suffer as the oil has ran out causing them to also turn hostile as they have no need to be friends and want to take us down.
ITS GUNNA SUUUUUUCK!!!!!
.....Thats what they said in 1950, nothing happened, in fact its been said alot throughout history and we're still here......wulfy42 said:
It will be very much like today, but reality-TV will give you a large selection of gladiatoral shows where people really die (gruesomely) for your entertainment.
Oh, and Google owns the moon. They even got a huge ad space up there.
And at that time, the next time of the "day of the apocalypse" will be 2052. (2012's apocalypse was a disapointingly average year, nothing big happened)

The plans to have a fully functional, large scale fusion power plant are already underway and its hoped to be finished in the next 30 years. After that it'll just get easier and easier.McNinja said:
We already have fusion plants that can create temperatures of several millions of degrees, just for a short amount of time.
I think the future is quite exciting, and that the world is going to change A LOT in the next 30-40 years. Genetic and organic engineering will change the way we look not only at the world we live in but also ourselves. Couple that with the exponential advancement of communication as well as material sciences and the possibilities seem endless.
Google Video "Visions of The Future" if interested about emerging technologies and the huge effects they are going to have on society in the next decades.
In my view, we'll have a world where genetic/biochemical engineering will open up possibilities such as enhanced brain functions, health, and natural capabilities(strength, endurance, vision, etc); in addition, we are likely going to be inherently linked to the web and objects around us as computing and network technologies expand from being exclusive to computers to being integrated into all products.
Don't forget people, we've all got to get through 2012 alive first before we even consider what will happen in 2050 lol.
I've read through everything that is said, and to be honest I'm surprised that no-one has thought that we still have a chance to turn things around.
Someone mentioned this earlier, but for some strange reason we've always been obsessed with our own destruction, either by our own hand or by something else. And in some ways, I don't see it as a bad thing entirely because of the simple fact that it guides us (well, the few of us with some common sense) away from harming ourselves or others.
My personal opinion of what things will be like in 2050? I think it'll be better in many or all respects, hopefully we'll have put an end to most disease as we'll understand that mind rules over matter. We'll be living in a positive utopian world, as we'll also know that not only are we made of the same thing physically, we are all 'one' in a spiritual sense.
The next 5 - 10 years are going to be the most crucial ones, and even if we don't pass them unharmed, I highly doubt it'll be the end of humanity and 'all' life on this planet. I reckon there will be pockets of people in remote places around the world, who'd have learned not to make the same mistakes we and our ancestors made.
But still though, the future isn't set in stone, it's constantly changing and it'll be written by our species as a whole, not solely by the Powers That Be (a.k.a. the oil barons, political parties, or religious leaders). The little man who goes about his daily life will have more say than the politicians over what happens.
'We' the people will have the final say.

I imagine we will be playing Half Life Episode 3 And Duke Nukem Forever by then.
... Well at least some of us... The ones with connections to the underground resistance of gamers who defies The Power and refuses to stop playing the, by then, illegal videogames.
They may take our freedom, but they will never take away our VIDEOGAMES!
VIIIDDEOOO-GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES!

In the small chance that we don't all blow each other to hell with nuclear bombs, i imagine it...would most likely be very similiar to the world we live in now, except maybe with a few more technological enhancements and cures. Other then that, i doubt little would change.
we get to have moon colonies and before that China and the US duke it out over oil until we either run out or we get a new power supply.
