What do you think will be here on Earth in the next 20 years?

Asked by Random1324 (356points) April 25th, 2013

I always thought that maybe, just maybe, that we might have cybernetics at least in the next 20 years.

What do you guys think?

20 years from now…
I sure hope we have flying skateboards. Back to the Future was 2015, and time is almost up! C’mon, science!
I have a feeling the entire world will have swung to one political extreme or another in twenty years. I just don’t see us hanging in the middle for much longer.

Not me. I hope. I don’t want to be that old.

@Dutchess_III I spelled more as ’‘moar’’ on purpose. It’s some shitty, long dead meme, but eh…I think it’s funny. XD

A lot of morbidly obese people, I’m afraid.

Troy Bilt Rototillers made in the 70s and early 80s. They were designed to last 100 years.

Did you mean new stuff?
50 PB Petabyte memory crystals
Optical backscatter communication
Highway vehicle herding

Reclamation of landfill sites for useful metals and appliances.

Soylent green, and the scavenging of the dead and buried for minerals and rare nutrients.

ZEPHYRA's avatar

Scientifically just a bit more than now and much more in communications. Other than that, more poverty, depression at its worst, obesity, unemployment and very very sad people on the whole.

Artificial wombs and androids.

Random1324's avatar

A lot of thoughts, guys, thanks!

Sunny2's avatar

Baby dinosaurs by way of a science lab.

CWOTUS's avatar

I started to wonder why we would need artificial wombs if we had androids, but I will hold that wonder.

mattbrowne's avatar

Because androids and humans will live in harmony.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Not if they make Republican androids they won’t.
