Many people I'm sure will envision the world as some sort of technologically advanced have where everyone lives to be 150 years old and can fly. I am not one of these people.

I see a much darker future for planet earth. The earth, with all its inhabitants populating out the wazoo, will become grossly overpopulated. Either all countries will develop a "one child only" type of legislation, or many will die hungry at a young age. Unless a new form of energy that is inexpensive and consistent is discovered soon, the energy crisis may end up leading to another world war, where everyone is simply trying to get some oil, so they can use it to blow up someone else so they can't get the oil. Kind of ironic, but it is a viable option of how the world could turn out.

Or maybe I'm just being a pessimist because of other things. But either way, this is how I see the world in a century. A dried up ball of lifeless suck.
