What will life be like in the year 3000

TRY imagining what the world will be like in the year 3000. How will we work, play, propagate, communicate, worship, wonder? What forms of bodies will we have? What will our cities look like? How many nations will there be? How long will we live? What technologies will be available to us? What about family, business,…

TRY imagining what the world will be like in the year 3000.

How will we work, play, propagate, communicate, worship, wonder? What forms of bodies will we have? What will our cities look like? How many nations will there be? How long will we live? What technologies will be available to us? What about family, business, government, education? How deep into space will humans have ventured? How many people will live on Earth? will the M50 be finished ??

The M50 was finished many years ago. In fact, it's there right now I'm sure of it.

The world will be super politically correct. Breathing in the wrong direction will earn you a fine and you'll be put on some register.

Also, jetpacks and simian overlords.

We'll all wear silver one piece suits, we will have holiday homes on the moon, dinner will be a little pill, and we'll have darlek-style robots to do our housework while we fly around in our hover cars.

I have, and it's definitely there.
Unless of course you mean the upgrade works which are already well underway. I shouldn't think it'll take them 93 years to build a bit of road.

By then we will have discovered that we are, in fact, each an intricate part in a huge galactic machine. The earth will become the universes largest manufacturer of desktop fans, and the other sentient creatures in the universe will rejoice that our planet finally became good for something, while enjoying a cooling breeze from their fine new fan.

At that point, the human phrase "global warming" will become the most celebrated piece of irony in history.

Sometimes it actually makes me a little sad that I won't be around to see the future, unless I freeze myself, futurama style.

Although, I don't think the world will be a nice place in 1000 years time. It'll probably be like 1984, or 3084. I'd still like to see though!

Really impossible to answer.

Go back and ask a Viking what he thinks the world will be like in 2007? The changes that happen in a THOUSAND years are vast and un-nameable.

Go back to the start of the 20th Century. 1907.

Things were so much different even then, and that's only a hundred years ago. No body then could have predicted the Internet, commercial passanger flight that would have you on the other side of the world in less than a day. Televisions showing live action from sports games taking place on another continent, in full colour? Unheard of a mere forty years ago.

Although, I will say this.

Look at Back to the Future II. The video phones that they had in that in 2015, we aren't very far from every home having that kind of thing in them, so I still hold out hope for Hover Boards.

The person who started this thread does.

Personally I think the human race will be wiped out.

I'd love to go back to the 60s when it wasn't commonplace to have either a telephone or a television in your home and ask people what they think it will be like in 40 years.....I wonder would they have imagined internet/email/mobiles/not walking to school etc etc...I'm sure they would have thought by 2007 we'd all be driving cars that coudl fly etc.....

I can't wait for tomorrow, nevermind the future byond that but I'd imagine, life, for me won't exist in the year 3000!

I'm surprised people haven't started wearing two ties into work yet

Taking a mighty wild stab in the dark on this one, maybe the same way we did 1000, 2000(aside from a slight anomaly by a woman called Mary in Bethlehem) and 10000 years ago;)

There will be no need for cars as we will just "beam" ourselves around the place. And we wont need to go to the toilet anymore cos we can just "beam" it out into space. This is why there is no toilet on star trek. Space is pretty big so we wont mind poluting it but we would have sh1t floating all over the place. You could have a close encounter of the turd kind if you're not carefull.
