What do you think the world will be like in a hundred years?

I don't want to think about it. Sorry. Scary.

My first instinct is fear -- I'm afraid of all of the environmental issues and struggles the world will face. But then my internal optimist takes over and thinks, WOW look at all we've done, we have so much talent in the world, we'll figure out how to at least temper global climate change, embrace new technologies that will decrease pollution and improve people's wellness and health, and simply find a way to make the world better because it will be a "must do" for humanity.

I think it's scary at first too, but I also get more optimistic when I think about everything we've already accomplished. When my mom was in school they wrote a paper about what they thought the world would be like in the 2000's. They thought that we would have flying cars by now  |

I agree with Renee.
I am scared to think about what things might be with how we are treating our planet and our natural resources as if they are renewable when they either aren't or they are but not at the rate we are using them. But then I think about how far we have come since 1914 (when my grandparents were young): cars, technology (phones, computers, etc) and just everything and I think that maybe things will be even better in 100 years. At least I hope.

I can see certain things going in a bad way... government issues mostly, but I think we are so rich in technology and invention right now, that the future will be bright for our children and grands in that regard. I fear another world war, or civil war *again, government related*
I fear that diseases that have been gone for a long time will make a huge comeback because of so many people not vaccinating... though I'm hoping that it's kind of a "fad" as some doctors are hoping too and will pass with time...
I do have high hopes for a cleaner country... clean energy, and for this country being more self sustaining.. I think were already on the right track.
