The World in 2030?

[Civ001]

I would like to know, what do you think the world is going to be like in 20 some odd years? What will technology be like in that amount of time? What will you be doing in 2030?

flying cars and robots

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Hopefully the singularity is here by then.

Personally, I'm going to be 42 and so clearly I'll have a brief encounter with the sublime sometime that year.

Bosnia will rule the Balkans under Glorious Leader Nedim I of the Socialist Peoples Republic of Bosnia

Pretty similar to the world now if I had to guess, 18 years isnt much of a jump forward. Technology will be better of course, but I figure overall society will be pretty much the same.

 

[Cato the Elder]

Superpower China will be a definite, undeniable fact. What effect this will have on the world is open for discussion.

 

[Godwynn]

Superpower China will be a definite, undeniable fact.

That's not how facts work.

 

[Tufio]

Uh... some kind of wasteland.

 

[Joecoolyo]

2030? It will definitely exist.

[dIZZyBlIZZy]

Sweet cow of Moscow! Not option one; the future will look exactly like 1966!

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest the fervour to bring Kony to justice may have waned .

 

[Save_Ferris]

I'll be the governor of Canada.

 

[NickyJ]

I'll be living in Canada.

 

[Civ'ed]

I'll be somewhere. I hope in the office of Paradox Interactive.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

America will continue to decline, China will collapse, Russia will run out of resources.
Europe will rule the world.
Germany will rule Europe.
I will rule Germany.

There's also gonna be a new video game crash within the next five years.

Quite unlikely (un)fortunately.

Superpower China will be a definite, undeniable fact. What effect this will have on the world is open for discussion.

The eighties called, they ask how superpower Japan is doing.

Still only has about one third of of America's and less then one tenth of China's population.
The assumption that China will be a superpower is far less stupid than the Japan craze during the eighties.

It has become really hip to say China will be #1, but I think people are overselling it. China has plenty of internal problems that will come home to roost in the next decades.

all the girls being born this year will be legal then.
