What is the future of us?

We can't see the future. But still everyone knows that something bad is going to happen day by day. We can't stop it,we just don't have enough time.The time is running very quickly and end is too.\n\nI can see no future for us unless we tried to change immediately and make use of the given time.\n\nI am not trying to be scary.(by reading 'REVELATION' in the bible u will understand much better)

We'll get taller.  And we'll treat people better, with more of an appreciation for humanity and the diversity of it.  \n\nIt would be cool if we grew tails again, as well.  Like in the good old days. \n\nThose are my theories.  And my opinion.

To the world (the planet)? Then it is probably that we're heading toward another ice age if that meteor doesn't hit us.\n\nTo the world (People)? Then it's probably the planet -- it will get us all in the end, earthquakes, floods, famines, plagues, disease, superbugs... we have the present vanity of thinking we have caused problems and so we can solve them -- that we have control or the upper hand. Nope, sorry. We don't, we could solve the global warming and then hey, throw a Nuclear War or die from antibiotic-resistant superbugs, Mad Cow disease or Bird Flu!\n\nTo the world (culture/history)?  Then the answer is digital communication -- vinyl is dead, magnetic tape lives forever but the machines are dead, CDs are rotting, formats change and we lose data -- will there be anything for future archaeologists to dig up?  For a communication age, I don;t see photos, letters or even music as surviving more than a generation.  All our libraries will vanish under a computer supervirus in 2020! Arrgh!

It is impossible to know that, given the information we currently have at our disposal. But I'm sure you'll get all kinds of answers from people who think they know. Just know that your guess is as good as anyone else's.\n\nPersonally, I'm leaning toward the notion that nothing happens, and we simply cease to be. But again, impossible to know.

I think we stand on the cusp of understanding a great deal more about the human body thanks to the recent break throughs in technics and technology supporting Genetics research. Where that future takes us or it will come is hard to say. Even harder to predict is the sociological impacts these develops could bring about. Whatever happens I am sure medicine will take a giant step forward and lots of the ailments that plague us now will be resolved. The result is people will live longer  and live better.

Political, social and cultural change is inevitable. With the current state of affairs, I expect our country to gradually slide into a third world type existence and possibly loose parts of the southwest to Mexico or an independent Latino nation (as intended by some of the immigration protesters). \n\nAn electromagnetic pulse, a nuclear detonation in Washington DC, a major disruption of oil supplies or a radical Democrat and and completely democratically controlled legislative branch (just kidding!) would most likely spell the end for our society as we know it.\n\nNothing is forever.

As far as booksmarts & the ability to multitask goes, we will be smarter. As far as common sense, I believe that we have already gotten dimmer over even the last ten years. The ease of technology on our everyday lives, I think, is undermining our common sense & street smarts :)\n\nGood question!

It is possible Hawking is correct, he is after all is said and done, a genius. However, not even Hawking can predict the future. But let's not forget...we are the only planet in our solar system with life (as we know it, in all its varieties.)  If we destroy our varied ecosystems with pollutants, how long can we ourselves survive? Not long.  Our ecosystems are dying even now. Certainly they will not last long enough for us, or for even our great grandchildren to find a way off the planet. And if we were to escape the earth, we would be taking our arrogance and our eco-unfriendly attitudes with us to our 'new world', and we would destroy that as well, given the assumption,  and it's a big one, that we could find another world as hospitable as this one has been. Let's face it, we live on a living, breathing jewel in the universe. We have no respect for this planet, what hope do we have on another? It boils down to this, take of what you have today, right now and tomorrow will take care of itself and you.

We, meaning you? Or "We" meaning humans?\n\nUnfortunately, you'll be dead by the time we establish a human presence.  Humans can travel to Mars, but "living" there can mean many things: If you define "living" there as simply showing up and staying for a day, then 2030 is a good estimate.  "Living" meaning "Colonizing" is well into the NEXT century!

No.  Not at all.  Our future is created by the quality of our thinking and our ability to manifest our hopes and dreams into reality.\n\nAs we think, we believe.\n\nWhen we change our thinking to embrace our greatest visions, and change our actions and deeds to support that vision, we unlock the key to the magnificent opportunities of our future.

Sadly, I believe we probably will bring about the end of all things we know and love (or hate!). I think it's high time that we stop trying to "out-succeed" our fellow human beings and remember what life is truly about- treating others the way we ourselves want to be treated. I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY, WE, AS HUMAN BEINGS, WILL FINALLY LEARN TO LOVE, ACCEPT AND RESPECT EACH OTHER-- and to realize that we are really all the same on the inside. Perpetuate the love! (By the way- I'm really not what others would consider "A tree-hugging hippie"! I just want people to spread more kindness & goodness around them.)

lol just looking at some of the answers 2030 isn't that far away most of us will still be alive (i hope i am) unless of cause there is a big nuclear war which wipes out the whole world.. If not it wont be much different to what it is now.. most vehicles will be run on an alternate fuel source such as electricity or methanol.. but there is no way we will have big hands,robots and flying cars.. i know technology is moving fast but not that fast

Absolutely. \n\nIt's where our future lies, whether we render this planet inhospitible by ourselves or through some natural disaster, that's where we'll have to go.

No.  Everything includes all the things that exist.  The future has not happened yet and therefore doesn't exist so you cannot possibly know it.
