<p>I like justinian's idea of looking back to 1956 for comparison. He forgot to mention, though, the huge role that computers started to play in our everyday lives... how much easier they've made communication, shopping, finding information, etc. I think that very little will be different in terms of issues that have always been on the table, such as urban poverty, and therefore, racial tension. However, homosexuality won't be much of an issue anymore, and gay marriage will probably be legal. There will probably be more limits on abortions, and more gun control. Newspapers will not play as big a role in society as they once did, and society will not be as politically active...</p>

<p>Yeah I basically have no idea. Those are just my guesses.</p>

<p>1) The US will still be in Iraq. :)</p>

<p>2) The US has lost its superiority over other nations long ago after the peaking of world oil production.</p>

<p>3) The US is in shambles and only has access to 2.5% the oil it has now and even less natural gas. Nuclear and coal power continue to wane in their availability and abilitiy. </p>

<p>4) China and India are very hard hit by the lowering of energy availability. Their populations have experienced massive decreases as well as those in the Middle East and Africa. </p>

<p>5) Isra'el is no more.</p>
