"No-one knows exactly what the current extinction rate is, but recent calculations by leading scientists put it at between 1,000 and 10,000 times greater than it would naturally be. The rate of extinction also appears to be increasing. Species are threatened in every habitat on every continent, though the severity of threat varies from place to place." [from] http://www.iucn.org/info_and_news/press/species2000.html "If present trends continue one half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years." [from] http://www.well.com/user/davidu/extinction.html I know the extinction isn't our biggest problem (the biggest ones are probably are pollution, depletion of natural resources, diseases such as AIDS in our society, in that order), but it's just scary to think about. I remember reading some figures that several species become extinct every day. Did you know that there are about 5000 siberian tigers left in the world? ![[image loading]](http://www.hal-pc.org/~jsb/tiger2.jpg) Same probably goes for Pandas. The reason is continuous economic expansion and invasian of animals habitats in natural forests as opposed to producing our own materials (i.e. growing forests or finding alternative building materials). An insignificant percentage of the world's money goes to its own betterment ergo insignificant betterment, we'll see. | ||

Oh yeah, and 100 years from now maybe we will have technology similar to the Matrix where you can upload your brain into a computer world or better yet a a super powerful cybernetic body... | ||

I think humans will find others ways to operate machines. | ||

Adapating will occur, and some solutions may be found, but to restate my orignal point, things wont have changed as much as we think. Robocop comes to mind. Except instead of being 2020 like they intially projected (time compressed), that dirty- narcisitc-comsumeristic-industrialistic world wont be seen until 2100's. So basically everything the world stands for now, just a little older, uglier and with more meaningless technological successes. | ||

We'll never colonize any moon or planet, because people will always use the same logic for spending money on more important things until circumstances will completely make the concept out of the question. | ||

http://www.mkaku.org/articles/physics_of_alien_civs.shtml This guy gives a really good description of what the world will be like. He talks about type I, II, and III civilizations. How we are still type 0 and type 1 civilization is only like a few hundred years. This guy is really good at explaining physics. I have read like 2 of his books which are very simple to read and explain a lot compared to the other physics books which are extremely complicated to understand. | ||

A barren wasteland. But I think it will be much sooner than 100 years. | ||

At the rate this is going a lot of people and environments will suffer in the next 50 years. Ice caps will melt, we will lose a lot of valuable ecological systems, and A LOT of third world countries will die cuz of that. But in the next 50 years after 2050 or so we will be technologically stable enough to survive. Technology doubles every 10 (?) years or so? We've only had technology for like 60 years and look how far we've gone. Imagine what id be like in 2100. http://www.mkaku.org/articles/physics_of_alien_civs.shtml This guy gives a really good description of what the world will be like.
