20 years? hmmm... by that time we will probably be so overpopulated that scientists will have to think of building communities on other planets to accommodate the ever growing population of earth...

You are asking a loaded question. In the next ten years there will be 76,000,000 people retiring, that alone will shift much of life as we know it. Real estate may peter out as baby boomers sell their big homes for smaller ones. Stocks may not do so well with less people working. Commerce (GNP) will slow as there are less buying dollars. Foreign powers will gain strength, economic and political.

By 2020 , indian poitics scenario will be different surely, It will be in the hands of young & sensible people. And i am very optimistic about it. U can also become a part of this , coz the first step to bring the change has already been taken..by 4 Ex-IITians . They started a new political party called "Lok Paritran" and left there luxurious jobs, just for INDIA. Atleast it shows that they are more concerned about india than the politicians we have in our country right now who only thinks about there bank balance & prosperity instead of the country.The Era of Mahatma gandhi and Lal bahadur shastri will definetly be back. \nSo i make an appeal to all the youngsters of our country to go thru just once the official site of " Lok Paritran". To know there idealogy.\nJust type in google search "lok paritran" and u will get the official site.\nOr u can directly go to "www.lokparitran.org"\nTo bring a change , first we have to change.

That's a big gap, between 50 and 80. A lot can happen in 30 years, and although I would prefer to die peacefully among friends that can't make up for what I can accomplish in 30 years time. I have to go with 80.

What will happen in the future is anyone's guess. My guess is there will be a lot of panic, much like there was back in 1999.

Probably somewhat different, but not TOO much different than today.\n\nTechnology moves fast, big big things that completely change things (such as a human-computer bio interface) won't probably be around for 50+ years.\n\nOur computers will work faster, be smaller, and do more than they do now, but unfortunately, in 20 years, you probably won't be able to clip your computer to your ear as you're walking out the door.\n\nIf computers changed rapidly like that, the price would also go WAY up, to accommodate the highly changed technology.  So the tech companies will probably phase this technology in slowly.\n\nPretty sad.  But right now, I'd be happy with a 6 hour laptop battery that comes standard.

No regrets what-so-ever.  I did 20 years and would do it all over again.\n\nI got to see the world, met my wife (married for 18 years), partied with some GREAT people, learned new cultures, and have brothers and sisters no matter where I go in the world.  It taught me discipline, gave me focus, allowed me to get a degree.

in the next 5 years there will be a lot of people unable to pay their mortgages, so a lot of repos.  in 10 we will be recovering from the disaster of the "hidden inflation" technique of money management by the Fed.  in 25 years we will be asking China if we can have some input and a share of their base on the Moon.  in 40 years there will be no unions, and no consumer protection.  in 50 there will be a great depression, followed by the rise of a labor movement, and the restoration of consumer protections.  Rinse & repeat.

No. Life would be very boring. I would not miss the joys and sorrows of getting older.\n\ncc

I don't think the people will think it's better or worse than now.  But if one of us were to pop up all of a sudden 100 years from now we'd be in shock.  The change in the world due to technology in the past 100 years is incredible, but the advances that the knowledge we now have are going to enable for the future are going to make the world an entirely different place.  Hopefully it will get better because the alternative is probably destruction.

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.
