110 Predictions For the Next 110 Years

[Tocsin_786]

i dont think this is at all feasible because isnt the sun suppose to explode in 100years? then we are all going to be dead extinct! no one is thinking about this where can we go how fast can move to a new planet or whatever that has a different sun so when earths one explodes we dont die or can they invent something that will protect us from the explosion then where are we going to get our power from because alot of renewable energy is based on solar! This really stresses me out

you mean a couple hundred billion years. 

[Tocsin_786]

the sad thing is, we all fantasize about all this stuff, but realistically are we gonna live long enough to see it all?

ill be living long enough to see that heart transplant and space travel stuff. but not the last gasoline car stuff.

If in 20 years robots replace soldiers, why would soldiers need exoskeletons 10 years after that?

Also if there is to be another war I'm sure we will all die and all predictions for 1000 years in the future can go to hell.

[Dr_Orpington]

I'm glad gas powered cars will still be a thing when I die.

The andromeda galaxy will collide with our galaxy in 3 billions years from now,and the sun will explode 2 billion years later,

don't worry,you have plenty of time.

actually our sun is not big enough to go Super NOVA but it will turn into a Red Giant first and God knows how much later cool off into a white dwarf star.   Now! if our earth was orbiting VY Canis Majoris star then we would need to send the last surviving son of earth to another inhabitable planet before the star goes Super Nova.  "The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son"......

These predictions are fun little read, but that's all they are. The biggest paradigm shifts are completely unknown to us right now. It's like people back in the day predicted flying cars but instead we got the internet (much better in my view).

 

Sure we'll have self driving electric cars, but that's not really a prediction since it's already happening.  

 

One thing is for sure, the next few decades will be very interesting. 

[PortentousLad]

Self-driving cars will hit the mainstream market. * I hope quicker still have no desire to get a drivers license*

Battles will be waged without direct human participation (think robots or unmanned aerial vehicles). * wouldn't that be cool?*

The first fully functional brain-controlled bionic limb will arrive.

WITHIN 30 YEARS...

All-purpose robots will help us with household chores. *ooh mister Handy is coming*

Space travel will become as affordable as a round-the-world plane ticket. 

Soldiers will use exoskeletons to enhance battlefield performance. *didn't we surpass the need for them? guess not*

WITHIN 40 YEARS...

Nanobots will perform medical procedures inside our bodies. *maybe sooner*

WITHIN 50 YEARS...

We will have a colony on Mars. 

Doctors will successfully transplant a lab-grown human heart.

We will fly the friendly skies without pilots onboard.

And renewable energy sources will surpass fossil fuels in electricity generation. *make em sooner!*

WITHIN 60 YEARS... 

Digital data (texts, songs, etc.) will be zapped directly into our brains. 

We will activate the first fusion power plant.

And we will wage the first battle in space. *Awesome! especially if no human casualties*

WITHIN 100 YEARS...

The last gasoline-powered car will come off the assembly line. *Also sooner, we won't have any gas left by then*

So here's my uneducated blabber...

 

like I know. B)

im not trolling when i was in primary school they were predicting the sun to explode in a hundred years well thats atleast what our piece of shit pathetic australian schooling system said and ive been freaking out ever since lol good to know there even more pathetic.

As someone who works in the Australian education system I call bs on that. Chances are you completely ignored what the teacher said and instead remember some dumb shit kid who heard something from stupid backwards parents who thinks cops are just out to steal their weed.

wrong, the sun will explode in around 100 MILLION years, not just 100.

Wait I forgot to ask which part of Australia. That changes things drastically I keep forgetting :-P

I live in the NT, where the education system is brilliant. But the local wildlife really skew the data as they're incapable of true comprehension unless their home environment is intellectual.

well, if anything it can't be as bad as central Queensland. missus used to live there, doesn't know anything about Australian history cause it wasn't actually taught. i didn't belive here till she showed me all her previous report cards, its all basic English and maths really.
