Things will change and i think for good. Human beings will stop playing with nature.\n\nIn next 25 years the whole world come very close and there would not be any problems of race, cultures and terrorism as people will slowly realise that these things dont help a community to grow. \n\nScience will open new doors and we cant even think what all new things we'll see in next 25 years.

Decline in some areas, maybe (manufacturing comes to mind)...but in terms of research, development, and especially services...these are what will buoy the US over the next fifty years.\n\nThis is what happens during the development of a one-world economy. The idea of the nation is, in some ways, obsolete.

We probably will not change very much from our current form. The biggest changes will be our ability to live much longer by means of artificial organ transplants and numerous other advances in medicine.

I don't think the world is coming to an end any time soon.  However, the culture and politics of the world is rapidly changing so much so that if one were to be suddenly dropped 25 years into the future, I don't think they would recognize the place.   Some of the change is for the good.  Most isn't.  The values of a "what's-in-it-for-me?" society are quickly degenerating to the point that even a human life, if it interferes with someone's agenda, is becoming expendable.

The reversal could happen with our generation.  It is seeing and understanding the threat to our environment that will eventually spur people to change their ways.

Better technology and medicine is a given. Gas prices will probably be higher. People will continue to complain about the economy but no one will do anything about it. We'll have a different president (the way things are going now, probably a Democrat), but we'll still have troops over in Iraq. TV shows like "The Simpsons" and "Friends" will continue to be on reruns every other hour. Americans will continue their dieting craze, but won't stop eating fast food. More doomsayers will emerge, just as people did right before Y2K. And as for resolving the immigration issue, I really have no idea...

One major problem in the USA that I think will be resolved within the next 25 years would be the discrimination against gay ppl and the giving of special rights to heterosexual couples.\n\nWe are beginning to see the first steps in correcting this inequality now. Eventually, the courts will have no choice but to recognise that it is unconstitutional to give heterosexual couples special gains by their states based on their unions while at the same time, denying gay couples those privileges.\n\nIt will come down to either heterosexual couples get married in their churches,etc... but receive no special recognition by the government or gay marriages will be given the same recognition.\n\nEither way, the issue will be resolved.

Sadly, the world is regressing.  The use of the internet, cell phones, DVD players in cars, etc. has caused us to become much more detached from our friends and family.  There is much less personal interaction anymore.  I don't think technology is ALL bad...of course you can meet new people online, or find out new info in an instant.  But, overall, the cons are outweighing the pros at this point.\n\nWe are soooo reliant on oil and electricity that we are going back to making enemies with MOST of the world.  More countries (Iran, N. Korea) have nuclear capabilities and are much more likely to use them than any countries in the past.  There are more extreme terrorists who can't be caught, less human intelligence to stop the terrorists, and our own coutnry's military is very diminished at this point.\n\nDespite MOSTLY overcoming years of racism and racial tension, things seem to be getting worse in that area again, with all the immigration debates/protests.  \n\nMost of the world's population live in 3rd world countries...diseases are widespread.  Despite working on the AIDS problem for 20+ years, we still do not have a cure or vaccine.  \n\nPeople don't think there's anything wrong with deteriorating morals...swearing is commonplace now, nudity on TV/movies is no big deal...violence is everywhere.  More than 50% of marriages end in divorce.  We are quickly depleting our natural resources.  the polar ice caps are melting.  Nature is becoming more extreme thanks to global warming.  Certain animals are dying out.  \n\nI have an advanced degree, have worked hard all my life, and still cannot afford to buy my own house.  In the 50s, most families owned houses and that was without the wife working!  Now I can't own my own house despite all my hard work and education.  This country...and the world are going to hell in a handbasket, and anyone who doesn't think so, hasn't lived long enough or looked around!

The way we're living now??\n\nGiven the hostilities in the Middle East, the War in Iraq, the fighting all around the globe....I'd be surprised if the world will be here in 20 years...someone's bound to nuke.

Depends what timescale your talking about.  In our life times the universe's existence will be constant, but far in the future it will be likely to end.  Everything's relative, including change.
