Will the world be better 10 years from now?

[gflores]

I've left it pretty vague, so answer at will. Also, I didn't paste this in the Politics forum, because I don't like that place.

 

[Cuda1447]

Bout the same, I think.

 

[Mrvile]

I answered no because I didn't see the "about the same" but wouldn't they mean the same thing anyway?

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

I see a communist uprising and another cold war until 2040

 

[meltdown75]

I'd say about the same.

Maybe more iPods & PSPs.

 

[sixone]

Better in some ways, worse in others.

 

[jst0ney]

Dosen't matter the earth will be destroyed on April, 29th.

 

[dartworth]

i hope so...

 

[surreal1221]

No, will prolly suck more. Considering gas prices, society adjustments, inflation, and how the dollar sucks compared to the rest of the world currencies. . . life in the US, and subsequently in the world will suck more.

Hopefully we will have caught Bin Laden, and we invaded and imperialized the Middle East, hence sending Oil prices down to $0.25/gallon.

I just hope we have flying cars, we were suppose to have them 5 years ago. :disgust:

I'll settle for a hoverboard like the ones in Back to the future II.

 

[So]

I said 'better' call me an otpimist, but people are always the same (political creap from all sides, etc), but technology will improve, so better.

 

The world is ending in 2012, so, it will be rather different.

 

[FoBoT]

if we manage to kill enough terrorists, then yes

 

[Baked]

Either the America Empire will take over the world under emperor GW or the world will end in a nuclear fire storm.

 

[compudog]

'bout the same.

 

[bootymac]

Real life Starcraft

<-- I call dibs on Battle Cruiser

 

[imported_Reck]

exploding population>dwindling natural resources=worse

you'll get used to it and it'll feel like just the same, just like how we got used ot all the security constraints now.

 

[Ulfwald]

Not if the liberals begin to gain control again

Yes the mayan long calendar.

 

[Shawn]

definitely not.

 

[AreaCode7O7]

That would seem to depend on your definition of "better" and your definition of "worse."

For instance, mightn't we see the progression of globalisation, increased openess to alternative lifestyles, the balacing of the majority in the middle class?

Or possibly the lessening of urban sprawl, an upswing in the valuation of the nuclear family, and a preservation of unborn life?

I myself very much doubt the betterment of the world, but it shall be up to the reader which scenario I find more likely to occur.

 

[Mallow]

if not having any fossil fuels and economic collapse is good then....

 

[monk3y]

I think it'll be about the same... But I think there will be an increase in the amount of people suffering.
