<p>Or, at least, what is one thing you think might be relevant for future, or a part of it, etc.</p>
<p>I have spent a few nights alone in the dark thinking as deeply as my brain will allow me about this question. I am curious to hear people's ideas :). Even if you think your insight is completely false, please share whatever it is you think of. I hope this is an eye-opening discussion!</p>
<p>In the year 3011 people will be so out of touch with society. Look at what the digital age has done to many people. Things will be very impersonal.</p>
<p>We could make this 100 years even. I have been suddenly hit with a wave discouragement, suddenly it sounds very futile to speculate so far into the future.</p>
<p>If things do become much more impersonal, do you think that would be bad? If people didn’t like impersonalization things wouldn’t get so impersonal, right? </p>
<p>Personally, I do not see this to be an issue. Maybe right now we are in a bit of a disequilibrium with the rapid proliferation of technological devices, but soon enough I think they (the devices) will provide a more personal experience maybe; or maybe we will become more accustomed to them. Kids won’t grow up communicating personally as much, so they won’t be nostalgic for that mode of communication.</p>
<p>[Most</a> realistic prediction, I’ve seen.](<a href=“Busted - Year 3000 - YouTube”>Busted - Year 3000 - YouTube)</p>
<p>My sanguine hopes are that we’ll actually would have realized the importance of our forests, and natural resources (although I’m not sure if they would be existing) and if we do it in time, would have brought back our animal and forest diversity to it’s somewhat pristine form. Usage of conventional resources with respect to the unconventional ones will reduce dramatically, and we’ll have a more harmonious world (a big question mark?).</p>
<p>And hopefully, Asian people will have undergone a tremendous change in their mentality, and Indians (am one myself) will stop acting as tools.</p>
<p>That’s actually my prediction for 100 years, rather than 1000 years. 1000 years is way too far-fetched to imagine in current scenario of the world methinks.</p>
<p>Yeah, i’m not sure what the odds are of us ruining the planet, making it inhospitable. Or what damage could be done, and how reversible it would be.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m exited for the revival of the mammoths (which is being worked on now, and scheduled to happen in a few years). I hope they are as soft and kind and wise as my stuff animal one, and as in the movies (Ice Age).</p>
<p>Even 100 years is even way too far to even speculate. 50 years is probably too far. Check out this time article:</p>

<p>just the next 25-50 maybe 100 years will be such a massive change in technology thats its hard to comprehend. But 1000 years in the future is silly to think about. My question for 1000 years is whether we’ll still exist. will we have stopped before we harm the earth enough to kill ourselves and other species? this is actually more of a 25-50 year question. But for 1000 years i guess that either we kill ourselves, or we have a near perfect society on earth, inhabit other planets and are exploring farther.</p>
<p>I mean just think about what’s changed in the last TEN years. 9/11 happened, and then we killed the guy who did it. Apple invented iPods. Now you have one in your pocket. So does everyone else. Mark Zuckerberg invented facebook. Now it’s open in your other window. We had a President cheat on his wife. We had a President go into two wars. We now have a black President. Laptops have gotten ten times lighter and ten times cheaper. We have 3D televisions. There was a lost year in the NHL. There will be one in the NFL and NBA. We went through the greatest housing boom ever, only to see the greatest housing catastrophe ever. The internet is available everywhere, on everything. The stock market crashed (a couple of times). Hell this is off the top of my head. Now think about your life. You are a completely different person now than you were ten years ago. What’s it gonna be like even ten years down the road? It’s probably even a little premature to speculate on that.</p>
