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

Just about all of the current problems will be gone, one way or another, and there will be new ones to replace them.\n\nTechnology will be light years ahead.  The more things advance and the more knowledge we have the more we are capable of advancing more rapidly.  The changes in the world in the last 50 years will be nothing in comparison to the changes for the next 50 years.

tomorrow will be alot like today.  A week from now will be more of the same.  A year will show a couple cool inventions and some new research.  A decade will have safer cars with lower emmissions.  A century and we will be surprised to find that we still rely alot on ground transport.  Medical improvements will have improved quality of life, but genetic detiriation from a lack of natural selection in humans will be having increasing tolls.  We will start to allow gene therepy but it will be heavily regulated.  A millenia will find man and machine merging.  People will choose to replace faulty body parts with bionic parts instead of cloned parts because the bionic ones allow superior performance.  Sports will be hard to regulate.  Fusion will be controlled and will provide us the energy to travel far in space.  Due to relativistic effects, the amount of people who are willing to travel far are surprisingly few.  Tech takes care of most everything for peolpe nd the most common occupations are science and engineering related.  Art and music widespread, but since there are so many people engaged in it there are relatively few who make much profit from it.  The economy is a combination of socialism and capitalism, more socialistic then America today due to increased availability of resources.  And I could go on and on.

Hypothetically speaking, I'm not entirely sure the world will exist in 10 years the way current world affiars are going what with the nuclear tension in Iran and North Korea...But I predect the economy will be better if we're still around.

Definitely the future, sometime when war, crime and famine are no longer an issue.  And skycars, yeah, we gots to have skycars :-) they are long overdue!!!

I would say about 50% think of the future. It seems to me that everything on this planet seems to be divided 50% yes'er and 50% no'ers... Dr Checko... (Nickname)

nothing at all!\nYou'll have to leave evrerything,bank account,cars,buildings....\nIsn't it time to think of an eternal world?

First, we'll start running out of it.  Prices will go up.  It will be more expensive to drive, and everything will cost more because it takes gas to ship stuff everywhere.  Airplane travel will skyrocket in price because planes use so much gas.\n\nSecond, there will probably be more wars over oil in the Middle East.  Saudi Arabia has so much oil- it seems like a likely target, either through inciting a civil war or from the outside.  The US will probably be involved in whatever war starts, because we need so much oil here and we have such a big military- we feel like we can take what we need without caring about the people who actually die for it.  China may also be involved in some of this conflict, for similar reasons- big military, huge oil consumption.\n\nThird, people's lives will start to change.  If oil is used up, people may start actually using the altnerative technologies we have available- wind, solar, natural gas, and coming up with cheap ways to spread it around.  More hybrid cars, windmills, solar panels, but maybe a new system to dispense natural gas nationwide at gas stations, if that ends up powering our cars.\n\nFourth, eventually the environmental costs of all our oil consumption will start to catch up to us.  Global warming is already a problem: warming means ice melting, and when the polar caps melt the oceans will rise.  Coastlands will be submerged gradually, first with little islands vanishing(already happening) and then with flooding in coastal wetlands and places like Venice (also already happening).  Despite all this extra water around, it's going to be salty water.  Warming also means droughts and desertification as temperatures rise in tropical regions, especially.  Lots of people will die in sub-Saharan Africa because of a lack of clean drinking water (also already happening).  Fertile land will diminish worldwide, and more people will die from starvation than do already.\n\nThe next wars won't be fought over oil, they'll be fought over water.  Look at the American southwest, and the controversy over the Colorado River/ LA and you'll get an idea of how much water rights mean already.  Dams and river diversion will cause international incidents, and we'll have to make some fast advances in desalinization technology if we want to fight back against these rising tides.\n\nIt's not hopeless, just really, really difficult.  And it gets harder the longer we wait to do something about it- so start today and try to conserve oil.

Very scary.\nThe streets will look like downtown Baghdad and the national language will be Spanish.\nWhite men will be 3rd class citizens.

Highly electronic!  They are putting computer microchips in everything already, and I expect that trend to continue.  I suspect privacy will be a thing of the past, except perhaps for the top bureaucrats, who have the privileges once accorded to the top bureaucrats in the Soviet Union.  There will be much less transportation, because many if not most people will either not have jobs in the conventional sense, or work on-line.  Automation will have made most low-end jobs obsolete.  Transportation will be mostly for recreation and shipping.  Small personal air cars are likely.  Language will have fragmented into specialized subcultures, almost indecipherable to one another.  (You see that already in these questions and answers, with the "newspeak" created for cell phone text messages.)  Hand-made goods will be rare and expensive, but mass produced materials will be much more customized.  You will be able to order to your specifications over the internet, and receive the finished goods by UPS or its successor within a day or two.

It shouldn't...at least not in 2020.  There are enough oil supplies to last till 2050.  And we're still finding new oil fields.

considering all the activism on saving certain species of animals, conserving enrgy and such that has been going on, i think more people will be aware of all the things that we have on earth that need to be saved.  although, i don't think life will get much better.  there will be a lot more abused children and neglected children, since hardly anyone cares what their children do anymore now, and those kids are going to grow up and do the same thing, because they have never been taught better.  i am curious what will be big in music.  techno maybe? i think if it hadn't happened already by that time, a nuclear war will be coming around then, because of all you hear about terrorism and nuclear weapons and the dangers today.

Outcome 1:\nNo, the world will end before then, especially if North Korea/Iran don't stop it with their nuclear programs.\n\nOutcome 2:\nNow that computers have become such a large part of our lives, I don't see us ever not using them.  They will become much more advanced and the way that we interact with them will change dramatically.\n\nOutcome 3:\nWe will develop computers that become too powerful and we will live in a world much like the Matrix (maybe we already do ;) ).  Come to think of it, what if in the Matrix, people built computers inside the Matrix and these computers made another Matrix, like a Matrix inside a Matrix.  You could call the second one Matrix Jr.

.....is the same goint to happend in yours?\n\nWho are you direction this to? people living in Iraq, England, China, India, or any of the 200 other countries in the world.

Better technology and medicine is a given. Gas prices will probably be higher. People will continue to complain about the economy but no one will do anything about it. We'll have a different president (the way things are going now, probably a Democrat), but we'll still have troops over in Iraq. TV shows like "The Simpsons" and "Friends" will continue to be on reruns every other hour. Americans will continue their dieting craze, but won't stop eating fast food. More doomsayers will emerge, just as people did right before Y2K. And as for resolving the immigration issue, I really have no idea...

I think very soon. Jesus will rule 1000 years. I believe this will be a glorious time. Since the Devil will be locked up, there shouldn't be crime.

Continents will grow and hell will freeze over!~ polar caps will dominate the poles causing the earth to wobble throwing precession off wack pure kaos!!!! terrorism will end though!
