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!!!!

There's a simple explanation for that. Since the future will / might be a space faring nation "The Prime Directive" would kick in which forbids any species to interfer with any other species during time travel hence why no one from the future has come back here but..... I wasn't talking about time travel in the first place !!

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

??

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 ?

Em, the USA and Europe are moving apart. Learn your geography ffs.

Maybe by 10,000AD you or one of your descendants will have an imagination :pac: I kid, I kid....

Anyway, this thread has led me reading these Wikipedia pages again!

Future of the Earth
Timeline of the Far Future

Insert usual criticisms of Wikipedia here, Pat Kenny fights crime etc etc

Serious Answer - Will definitely have had one Apocalyse by then. They'll look back at the 100 years from WW2 ending as the golden age.

After Hours Answer - Men (having become redundant) will have been bred out and Earth will be renamed planet Lesbos

The human race won't survive to 10,000 AD (IMO).

The earth will either be completely destroyed or have an almost uninhabitable climate, with the only surviving species being those which are very small and quick to grow, basically r strategists.

I could list a load of things that could wipe us out by then, but honestly I'd say that if we don't come up with cold fusion pretty soonish, energy-hungry panicked countries are going to just start warring with everyone until there's nothing left.

Before our decline, I imagine the Irish government will go through a series of plans, none of which will work. Things like "eat grain Fridays", "the cold hour", and giving out free iPads (the most recent version of course) to all the politicians to save on paper waste!

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

What an absolute cop-out of a statement. You might as well say that the existence of religion is justified solely on the basis that it provides for humanity's inherent desire to conflict with each other.

No, you'll be either a heap of bones a couple of meters under ground or particles of ash that have been spread out and reused in the environment.

Sir Alex Ferguson will still be in charge at Manchester United

Assuming we do not wipe ourselves out or get destroyed by a natural disaster.

If technological advancements increase at the rate they are currently we will likely have merged with technology to the point of self evolving. Spread out to other worlds with a massive increase in life span and population. We may very well be utilising the energy from the sun or suns to fuel our advanced civilisation.

Religion would be replaced by a united goal of bettering ourselves and understanding the universe.

InReality · 24-10-2011 07:14PM

what did people think the world in 100 years would be like in the 1911 ?
our predictions will have the same accuracy.

Are you saying you think we'll turn into the Borg?

This is fun...

Lets see,... As the divide between the haves and have nots grows, the rich will conspire to reduce demand on "their" resources by intentional depopulation. The masses are no longer required for labour as technology enables fewer people to maintain exponential scientific and technological development. As the rich work together, manual labour becomes more and more obsolete and there is more of everything to go around for all (that is left). A new political, sociological and philosophical framework will develop to make sense of this radical development. People will still be human, but in this new framework much of the motivation we have today will be considered obsolete. competitiveness will of course be cherished but many selfish instincts will be neutralised by conditioning, and drugs. Acknowledging the precariousness of man on earth, mankind will harness technology to send seed ships to thousands of identified inhabitable worlds. Time and distance are not really a consern as these ships will be fully automated, and devoid of life, save the basic material required to produce humans in test tubes. Once deployed, the ships produce humans genetically capable of thriving in an alien world. Many ships my not be successful, but enough will be sent to ensure success. Once we spread to the stars humans from different worlds will develop on radically different directions, depending on the circumstances facing each colony. They will become less like earthlings with each generation. All this travel takes time though, and Earth has it's own problems. Earth cannot sustain human life in the long run, but man could probably rely in his ingenuity to live on. I can't imagine it would be much fun on Earth though, people would probably wonder how their interstellar seed ships are doing on the long voyage into uncertainty. Earth man as we know him must adapt to changing circumstances or perish. We live in a glorious age, and our flamboyant and individualistic lives will not be truly understood by or descendents. They will have radically different values and face challenges we can't imagine. God speed

"...the grim nightmare of

headache..." Pretty accurate i'd say !

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