What will the world be like in 300 years?

Question

I personally don't think it will last that long.

But if it does, I know for sure that if we don't change our attitude there will be no photosynthesis, no life, just so much rubbish that we can't see the floor.

Answer 1

I feel optimistic.

I feel we will all be fine...

Good changes are happening. They seem slow, but it's happening.

Life will be a lot more automated, and yet at the same time, people might be wanting to return back to the simplicity of life.

I don't believe we will have any major wars that will destroy mankind as a whole.

Strife will continue, poverty will continue..

but we will survive.

Answer 2

I dread to think what it will be like in 30.

Answer 3

I don't think the world is going to last that long. Look at all the stuff we're doing to it know. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we managed to destroy the world in the next 50 years.

Answer 4

I doubt the doomsday scenario  will happen that soon. However, things will have to change and change they will. Just look back at the massive changes that have occurred since 1708. Similarly, changes of the same order of magnitude will happen over the next 3 centuries.

Also, I am afraid I think that when things start getting really tough for countries to survive there will be another major or world, war.  We will be fighting to survive and only the best will!!

I am just pleased I will not be here to see the world order change as completely as it is bound so to do.

Answer 5

I don't think we'll have a planet left. Mankind is destroying it - I agree with you all we'll have left is rubbish.

Answer 6

let us be hopeful, nothing  is going to happen to it. we will be having more fast life  because of better and fast transportations,- longitivity in life because of better medical facilities etc etc.

Answer 7

I cannot predict right now what will the world be like in 300 years but I will tell you what method I would follow to make short-term predictions in order to prevent incidents we all would like to avoid because, I think this is the point of your question: save the planet and our society!

Well at first I would try to act collectively, try to find people who share the same interests with me and make somehow a research group. Then for a certain period of time we would try to gather information about the most critical factor that influences the future of the world! This is why we would need to share a common theory that would explain the influence of factors like economy, society, physical environment, religions, family on the development or processes of the world and moreover what this theory predicts in the end so we can do this or that to manipulate the result.

So starting by reading the news, searching the internet, reading books in a next level we would have to have some outputs since a layout of stuff like projects, policies etc were ready!

I think that's enough so far! My point is that philosophy and philosophers were never some kind of people who only read and wrote books. Most of them were active members of society and many of them paid that with the threat even the death penalty of their life.

Practical Philosophy and Practical Reason are anything than Ethics, that is to say Advices of how people should organize their lives in order to be better!

Answer 8

it will be very nice, very pretty. mankind adapts, so therefore the pollution problem and littering problem will be solved, maybe the damage has alredi been dun but not enough for the world to end in 300 years.

Answer 9

Why not look on the bright side of life.  In three hundred years from now, none of us on here are gonna be around.

What will the differences be like in three hundred years.

Just go back to when my grand father was born in the 19thC and when he joined the British Army at 16 in 1898 to go off and fight in the Boer War in South Africa.

No radio, no TV, no movies, no planes, no automobiles and no to a great deal more besides.

That's only a little over 100 years ago.

Now go back to 1808 (two hundred years ago) - the Battle of Trafalgar has been won in 1805 but the battle of Waterloo has yet to be fought, 1815.

HMS Victory was top of the range Georgian Battleship.  Forget all the rest, this was the real thing back then.

Now leap forward to WW2 and the mighty Iowa Class Battleships of the United States Navy - wham!

Go back to c1776 and this was the most advanced infantry weapon of the day. . . .

So, looking forward into the future for 300 years is going to be extremely difficult.

Some scientists now believe that mankind is at the end of normal scientific discovery and that we are on the threashold of something quite new which they have simply dubbed as 'magic'.  If you like, beyond science that as we know it today - physical science.  

The next step for mankind is into the 4th dimention.

To some extent we're just beginning to do that our here in Cyperspace - - - - -

Answer 11

If we keep it up with wars pollutions and all that I don't think we have to worry about 300, 200 . or 100 years from now.

Take care

Answer 12

Still be here, but you wont recognize it.  Or if you re-incarnate in exactly 300 years you might experience it.  What would you like people to say:  It is so and so and not so??  It will be so far removed from today, that you might think you are in heaven or h**l.

Peace.

science rule on our planet only pub and club left there no place for church and temple we can say only rubbish left on our plant and then god destroyed every thing for recreation

Answer 15

Well, 1 thing would be if the magnetic fielded reversed itself ( which it is overdue for ), I guess that would be considered pretty " catastrophic " and may really change the scenario.  Other than that, I cannot calculate the variables, it could swing either way.  It really will all hinge on a large event or disaster, that may or may not bring greater understanding of our interactions with the planet and it's environment.  I believe this event will take place after my life cycle has concluded, but before the return of the Vilnak.
