Answer 1

The world will revert back to the stone age.  Oil will run out and disease will be rampant.  Humans will almost die out.  Nature will recover from our damage.

Answer 2

1984-- George Orwell.

Answer 3

dont wanna know, hopefully no starwars

Answer 4

i don't think mankind will survive the next 200 years.

we're headed downhill.

everything has just gotten so vicious and violent.

Answer 5

Your guess is as good as mine.  But I think things happens in circles..What goes around comes around.  Personally I think man will go back to the horse and buggy.  I mean look at the price of gasoline!  It is getting too expensive to run a motor vehicle these days.  Or maybe Jesus will return within a 100 years!  Who knows.

Answer 6

f***d up!!!!!!!

Answer 7

In 100 years my remains will be leather-like within the cave

I alone have managed to discover.  Year around the humidity is near one hundred percent as global warming brings more

rain to my coastal region.  The karst I'm amid has a vadose

extension into water table so I escape emersion.  I've been discovering caves since 1964 but don't expect to be always

luckly in underground explorations.  

Few life forms reside in the depth I'd gone, certainly not more than a temporary maggot infestation, that itself was eaten in turn by hungry spiders or the like.  Bats might fly past to and from surface landscape feedings during nightfall hours.  But, mankind and all his works probably won't intrude into my part of planet.  Not even as a distant jolt in cavern bedrock.

200 years later mineralized water droplets from overhead will have started to entomb me in a pure white calacite shroud.  It will require several thousand years before I become like  nearby remains of sabre-toothed tigers; now clad in hard glittering stone crystals I'll become reason enough to reward future cavern exploration don't you think?

Answer 8

the world will end by 2012............so there wont be a 2100 or 2200 for us

Answer 9

Honestly, do you even believe that the world will still exist until 2100? With the rapidly increasing rate of human greed, violence and lust for money and glory, soon enough there'll be annihilating for Earth wars.

I personally enjoy every moment at its maximum, don't care if the world ends I'm not the one who destroyed it.

Answer 10

That's an absolutely fascinating question.

In 100 years, I think human kind will have either remedied global warming, or adapted to it - we're remarkably adaptable, as a species.  In 200 years, wow, even harder.  I was part of the Bicentennial celebration in 1976 and I think about that sometimes.  What I think history shows us is this:

Human nature doesn't change radically from year to year, but the ability to communicate our thoughts, feelings, and opinions has increased exponentially.  I look at political campaigns past and present, and they're very, very similar, except for the media.  

If there are intelligent aliens, they are way behind in understanding our history, because of the speed of light and all...they're seeing things that happened here hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.  If we contact them, we first have to bring them up to date.

I think my biggest fear for the future is that humans will lose "in-person" social abilities to interpret body language and tone of voice because they're online too much. I also think that there are some things that can't be "brought into line" with modern time concepts because they will always be slow...wine-making, for example.  There are some things you just can't hurry.

Finally, I worry about the tyranny of democracy -- that we'll all be brought down to one, pitiful level by reality shows and so forth.  I worry that the quirky and artistic among us will not be "approved" by society and they will be discarded.  I also worry that hate crimes legislation is really the first step to "Thought Crimes" legislation.

But this is just me.   I could be wrong.

Answer 11

I don't think we'll make it to any of those centuries especially with the world the way it is now.
