Question: Have you ever wondered what life would be like 50 or more years from now!?
For years i been thinking about the future and to say the least i think of the good and the bad things that could happen 50 or more years from now!.
But we all know depending on our age health and other things about the body that wont allow us humans to live for that long!.
We humans have long wanted to see if scientist have discovered or created a new fountain of youth that allows us to live for more then a few hundreds of years and make us look younger then before!.
As humans maybe in the future it will happen but sometime we gotta wonder what are the side effect and how will it work and what to take for it to work!.
We all know that one day we will all die but dont wish to die!.
what do you think!?
Thanks in advance!.

I often wonder the same thing!.
50 years ago computers were a distant reality, and iPod wasn't even on the cards!.
I think it would be amazing to be frozen and come back to life in 500 years time!.!.!.
These are some things I think will happen:
- Establishment of some kind of settlement on Mars, sort of like the ones at Antarctica
- Diseases that effect the spinal cord and brain will be cured or at least managable
- Invention of a bionic eye
- Computers will continue to improve and innovate at an incedible rate
- I also think, on a smaller scale, TV and interent and everything will be developed and all combined TV
- Development of nanotechnology
At the same time, I think the environmental aspect will become worse!. I don't know whether GW is true, and I don't know enough information to know the difference, but I thnk the climate is changing and in some areas, especially where I live in Australia, there are going to be major economic changes due to the change in the environment!. Development all over the world will continue to expand into native wilderness, and eventually I think the only vegetation in habitable areas will be little pockets of protected forest, sort of like central park!.
I also think poverty will become a lot worse!. Less Economically Developed countries will expand exponentionally even though they can't even afford to maintain their current population!. LEDCS like India and Africa will over the next 30 years will experience huge population growth if the current (rising) fertility rates continue- far outstripping whatever China would ever have become!. Drastic action needs to happen in these countries in regards to education of women and the population in general and getting contraception accepted and available for everyone!.
Health is also a concern, as people will be living longer, having to maintain an aging popualtion will put a lot of stress on an aging population!.
I could go on forever, but I don't want to bore you!.
Hope this brings some light to your question
