What do you think the world is going to look like in 2070?

Asked by adreamofautumn (3983points) March 23rd, 2009

Will it be a disaster zone of famine and lack of natural resources? Will everyone be wearing neon pink and living on space stations? Will gummy bears be the national currency of the entire western world??

Empty.

I just know that it won’t look like The Jetsons.

A bunch of old, saggy, over the hill jellies ruling the world and laughing it up having a good ol’ time.

Also the world will tremble before the combined might gathered at Fluthercon 2070 and bow before Lord @Blondesjon….

or we’ll all be dead… either way it should be fun no?

Have you read The Road by Cormac McCarthy? Probably something like that. If we keep going the way we’re going…

Okay…i’ll be more honest than I was in the original post. We’re having a 2070 themed party…any input on clothes, music, decor, etc? (Though don’t stop posting your honest opinions I really want to hear those to!).

Wait a minute. Isn’t the world supposed to end some 58 years earlier?

adreamofautumn's avatar

@AstroChuck yes, yes it is. But this is what happens if it doesn’t!!

It will be much less exciting, because I know I’ll be dead, and AC will be too, probably.

Never. I plan on living forever!
