Religion will be extinct, and sea otters will have evolved to the point where they can talk. The humans and sea otters will wage war over atheism.

Heres what will hapen

Population of world as of 2090. 25.97 Billion
2091 Cyber space is made.

Population of world as of 2100. 28.58 Billion
2110 Cyber space is perfected.

Population of world as of 2120. 31.25 Billion
2210 Cyber Sex is Made (this lets you feel like you are having real sex)

Population of world as of 2125. 27.21 Billion
2235 Cyber Sex Is completely Perfected. And everyone can have sex however/and with whomever they imagine.

Population of world as of 2150 15.21 Billion
2237 Cyber pod (these let you enter cyber space) become extremely cheap.

Population of world as of 2151 2 Men 3 Women.
2251.2 months and 2 days More cyber sex!

Population of world as of 2251 and 2 months and 3 days 00000

Thats fairly accurate

I, for one, hope to God the world doesn't last that long.

The Earth by my estimates is about 14,000 years old and when Jesus was crucified (33 AD) he said multiple times that the end is coming very soon. Chances are nigh that the world will last even 300 years more in my book.
By that time we might get a human beyond Mars, probably will not build anything on the moon (But if there is somethnig, it's a private affair completed by Lockheed Martin and General Electric), computers will have gotten much faster and oil and gas will have long been depleted and instead of adopting greener systems, we just lazily fall into sub-anarchy.

I think in 1000 years we will have robots doing our "jobs" for us better than we ever could. With this ideas will be the goal in life, which will be transfered over the internet system of that time. This will ofcourse cause the whole worlds barriers to break down leading to no more religion, country, color, ect. . In time we will have virtual machines that connect us through beems of light entering our eyes (much like lasers) and we will truly be immersed in the virtual enviroment (brain doesn't know the diference between what is real and what is perceived).

When you take this to the evolutionary level.... the physical structure of the body will disipate making room for more advanced evolutions of the body/mind. The hands will elongate in order to more easily use the "controller/KB". The eyes pupils will expand to allow more info to enter the cerebral cortex. The ears will withdrawl for no need to amplify sounds (earphones). And with all the information at our fingertips (evolved fingertips) our brains size will expand in order to absorb as much as possible....

Think about it, then think about the image that is best known as "aliens".... and no I'm not crasy. :P

We'll be shorter, there will be no blonde haired/red haired/blue eyed/green eyed people, Everything will either be Archaic as everyone eventually snapped and started a galactic civil war or everything will be pretty much the same.

Everyone will be either hugely intelligent or legally retarded.

I hope there will still be blonds or my race will be extinct. and i like the galatic civil war idea

It's a fact that as black/dark brown hair and brown eyes are more dominant all other eye/hair colors will, so to speak "die off".

It'd be nice to think humans would still be around in a thousand years but given how things are going at the moment, I'm not so sure. Anyway if there is still a human race and we've got possibly interstellar travel nailed then well, we'd probably work on colonizing other planets or at least terraform them. Although I expect other planets would be stripped bare, or have to be used for extra living space and Earth will be something reminiscent of Coruscant.

500 years from now Idiocracy will happen, mostly. The intelligent people will still exist but in low numbers while the stupid people exist in hordes.

After another 500 years the intelligent people will have an uprising using their superior technology and begin a program with genetic engineering to prevent Idiocracy from becoming a reality again.

I just hope it doesn't turn out like the plot of A Canticle For Leibowitz. God, that book's depressing at the end.

A brief summa (warning: spoilers):

Nuclear war destroys the infrastructure of the planet, destroying civilisation. After the fallout stops, well, falling, mobs turn against the people who made that war possible, i.e. the intelligentsia. Soon, it turns into outright barbarism, with book burnings and mass murder of scientists, doctors, technicians, anyone with an education. But a chap called Isaac Leibowitz managed to salvage some of the books, as was his charge by the Pope. He was a monk, you see. This is an instance of religion doing good, rare enough in real life but positively nonexistant in sci-fi. His body is found hundreds of years later by a chap called Francis who is later killed for his illuminated blueprint. And his flesh.

Fast forward about a millenium and we have act two: secular organisations for the advancement of knowledge have been set up, and literacy rates are steadily improving. Of course, another war breaks out between the Holy See and Texarkana, a city-state under despotic and mind-numbingly barbaric rule. In the midst of all this, a monk and a scholar create electric light.

In the final act, eight hundred years after the second act, humans have progressed beyond the level they had when the nuclear war started, to the point where space colonisation and faster-than-light ship travel are, whilst not exactly commonplace, certainly viable. Nuclear arms are now illegal, but it doesn't stop what is now America blooding up most of Eastern Asia with a test warhead. The Asians respond in kind, dropping a space-based warhead on the Yank capital, Texarkana. The monks of Sacred Order of Leibowitz have to open up their doors to irradiated victims of fallout clouds, and their abbot sends them off to a colony. They can't com back, and as they watch the mushroom clouds rise beneath their ship, they probably have no wish to.

And, because it is the way of all things, the events prior to the start of the the book happen all over again...

Only worse.

OK, it wasn't exactly brief, but it needed to be said.

in about 1000 years, i'd say the world will be so hot(around 250ºF) it will be un-inhabitable. It would also be awesome if it was somewhat like the mass effect universe (Living on other planets, quick space travel)

Everything is possible(will we destroy the world by burning it, or hugging it death(damn hippy's)). But one thing is sure, there will still be a Bush in charge, to undermine the economical system.

I really hope for huge advances in space travel, I absolutely want to one day go into outer space whilst still alive.

Is this post from 600 years ago?

Also, there will be a point in making it so kids can't play GTA .........some city. Since all games will come in virtual reality helmets, and in games you feel what your character feels, it looks as real as anything could. And all the people will feel genuine. So , you're 5 year old brother will have sex with a prostitute and really feel everything the way a 20-something year old man does (meaning that even if he can't orgasm, he will in the game and it'll feel the same way it does for a 20-year old man who just had sex).

And we will have won a war with god.

Stephen Hawking has said that the only feasible way to completely overcome global warming at this point is to expand into space colonies. Plus, I'm such an Alastair Reynolds geek (great author, check him out) that I can't imagine the future progressing any other way. Money will become digitized, and due to hackers, information will become the new currency. The "new frontier" of space will create a rush into the stars, with the lucky ones ending up with entire systems under their control and the less lucky subjugated to the rule of others. It'll be fun.

How fun...most of the people we know and care about will be dead including ourselves. As we got rid of natural selection when we decided that everything around us was ours to control the human race will gradually become more stupid until we devolve into ignorant couch potato that makes up the bulk of the earths population today. Whatever technological advancements we gain between now and when everyone with any common sense dies one by one will be used as weapons by those who they should not be given to. All in all we are doomed so enjoy it while it lasts eh?

Well assuming society doesn't collapse between now and then, and we still advance technologically... i would guess some bleak dystopian future with cool gadgets, rampant extremism, overpopulation(and the problems that come with it) and maybe extra-planetary colonies.

I think we'll be fucked in 100 years let alone 1000.

that involves such a miniscule knowledge of global warming that it isn't even funny, the world isn't just going to get hotter and hotter, global warming will cause an environmental backlash, maybe not apocolyptically, that will change the way humans power their civilization, or if civilization ends, then the survivors will likely become tribal groups living on the coasts of of the larger oceans, either way im psyched.

The Bible estimates the world to be about 14, 000 years old.
I think...

ThePoodonkis:

The Bible estimates the world to be about 14, 000 years old.

Where?

If you count the years from Adam to Jesus it a little more then 4000 years. Then add 2000 from Jesus to 2007, and you have total 6000 and a few years.

There is two problems with this: 1. Jewish geneaolgy count those who has contributed, and is worth mentioning. Therefor the years between Jesus and Adam is not quite reliable. 2. The Bible does not say how long Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden. 3. Between verse 1 and verse 2 in Genesis chapter 1, there could be a enormus time gap.

In terms of the original meaning of the original Hebrew, scholars acknowledge that the days of Genesis 1 can only of 24 hours duration. This is simply because the Hebrew word yom is qualified by the word evening and morning. There is also no justification in the Hebrew for inserting a gap between Genesis 1 and 2 to accomodate the millions of years required for the evolutionary theory.

Thus, the age of around 6000 years is about it as far as the Bible itself goes.

Okay. Where did you come up with 14,000 years?

I don't recall it saying how old the Earth is in my NIV Bible. >.> There have been some folks that have traced the genealogies back to give an estimate of something like 4000 years, which I'll admit is a bit madder than a guess of 14,000. I digress.

Back to the Original Post for me. In 1,000 years any sort of crazy stuff could happen. Jesus might well turn up, and prove all those 'when Jesus gets back this will happen' theories wrong. Or he might not. Theology is fun. Oops, digressing again.

We could live in a 'utopia' much like the one in The Time Machine by HG Wells. As for us, we might end up like Wells' Martians, big brains with a face that rely on our machines to do everything for us. Or life may just go on as it has these past millennia, people going to work, coming home to the wife, moaning about the government.. but doing it with whizzier gadgets than we have now.

I hope you're joking. I seriously hope you're joking.. what you're just going to ignore all the evidence that the earth is billions of years old? Over an old book?! On a brighter note, i'll review my earlier post and add a good probability of anarchy in there.

Oh yeah. My foreseeing of the future.

We will obtain interstellar travel. Moon, Mars and the system around Sirius.
Anti-gravity shoes, 3D Holograms, and Laser-ears! Disease will be a thing of the past.
Downside: music and film will be so terrible around 2600 that it will collapse upon itself and go back to classical and black-white silent movies.

We will have Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, actually happening, in 3008.

I have my fingers crossed.

BigKingBob:
Well 1000 years ago, all we had was iron, stone, wood and earth. We then used combinations of these to kill each other. There weren't even simple devices (the wheel barrow had not been invented) and significant parts of the world were no more advanced then they were 1000 years before due to various collapses and dark ages.

This seems to be a pattern throughout history. Powerful culture rises and spreads peace, cheerios and mathematics throughout the world only to collapse and regress the world back a handfull of centuries.

As it is we are overdue for a dark age so I think in 1000 years time the world won't be that different from what it will be in 200 years time.

So I'm thinking bases on the moon and mars, hyper efficient computer thingy mababobies pretty much doing away with governments, an industry that captures asteroids for materials, people genetically engineered in the womb to be healthier, stronger smarter and more resistant than we are now.

This is similar to what i believe, i mean, if you look at how many advances the Romans did, then when they failed, how long it took for any of that to come back, I believe this will happen to us some day, probably in the near future, but on a larger scale.
In the year 3008 i think we'll either be where we are now, or only a little more advanced, but we'll still be destroying the planet.
