What Do you think it will be like in the year 10,000 AD

Stiffler2 · 24-10-2011 03:14PM #1

So as the title suggest what do you think the world will look like in the year 10,000 AD ?

Will we have star trek / the jetsons type cars floating around or will there be teleporters ?

Will continental drift have brought the USA / Europe together etc
??

Do you think the human race will even be around in 7989 years, what will the population be like - at the mo it's at 7 Billion

will we have populated other planets or just build skywards like New York

These are the questions that keep me up at night and if you look at the technological revolution which has skyrocketed since the industrial revolution in only the last 100 - 150 years it would be amazing to see the year 10,000

So what technology do you think will be around, do you think humans will still be around and what will the place look like ?

Hopefully we'll have copped on that there's no fairy-creator man in the sky and stop killing each other for the sake of a book. Then again, perhaps some massive catastrophe will occur and bury us all, only for future archaeologists will find the Harry Potter series.........

It'll be the exact same as it is now except worser and far badder.

Humans will always find something to differ on and fight over

This idea that mass-atheism/ denouncement of religion would solve such problems is as silly as religion itself

It will be even more wrinkly than it is now.:eek:

i dont we will survive that long....i know it's pessimistic but what can ya do.

im invisible · 24-10-2011 03:29PM

I went to the year 10,000.
Not much had changed, but we live under water

Cee-Jay-Cee · 24-10-2011 03:29PM

....I've been to the year 10,000
not much has changed but they live underwater
and your great-great-great-granddaughter
is pretty fine!

I think we'll be rutting like animals in the ashes of our fallen civilisation. The potato will evolve to be the dominant life form.

humanity will either become a space faring race, or will eventually perish in one way or another. life on earth will always persist and continue to evolve though.

What it means to be human will change in time also as we develop new tools and machines to extend our physical limitations. this will accelerate as early as in the next few decades. when I was a kid it was unaffordable to make a 10 minute overseas call, now the worlds poorest people can talk to anyone for next to nothing.

I don't believe the speed of light can be surpassed for fragile physical matter such as a person. but if a signal can be transmitted faster than light, we can transmit our DNA, genetic code across the universe with instructions on a suitable environment and atmosphere.

who knows, If you like thinking about this kind of stuff, check out anything by Arthur C Clarke,, the ascent of man, and cosmos.

I don't see how? At least not as widespread and pointless.

Fighting for resources isn't *really* pointless...

The world will be a violence-free utopia except you won't be allowed to have sex with Sandra Bullock and you'll have to wipe your arse with seashells.

robbie_998 · 24-10-2011 03:34PM

Everybody will be Chinese. Mark my word.

Arseholes will probably have been superceded by then, and people will have antique ones on display in glass jars on their shelves.

They'll probably still be showing Reeling in the Years.

There'll be a long, bitter interplanetary war between humans and thinking machines. Humans will make martyrs out of those who died under the robots' evil regime.

So yeah, religion might not die out if Frank Herbert is anything to go by.

I heard recently that cern "believe" they have broken the speed of light, hence broke Einstein's theory on the fastest thing in the universe.
If we had the ability to travel at the speed of light & had a ship I don't see why we couldn't travel at that speed. Obvioulsy our fragile bodies would be put under stress but what if you slowly built up the speed in the ship so you wouldn't "feel it" similiar to how the TGV / bullet trains slowly build up to top speed.

The same would have to be said for the breaking / slowing the ship down of course

id be inclined to agree with this

there might be less people around in 10000ad though

WindSock · 24-10-2011 04:05PM

I don't know.

Some say I lack imagination.

Others....?

Shiner11 · 24-10-2011 04:06PM

We'll have to have colonized other habitable planets by then. According to some guy I heard say this once, "By 25th of September 2010, the human race had used up 100% of the natural resources the planet produces in a year". If we keep going at this rate we'll have destroyed the planet and the human race if we don't venture out.

The whole time travel thing, if you think about it why hasn't anyone in the future come back to our time right now to warn us if we eventually destroy the planet by what we are doing with it now?

*queue dramatic music......*

DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!!

We will all speak chinese and will possess and extra finger.
