What will happen over the next 50 years, or what human life will be like in 50 years. I guess it all depends on whether one is a pessimist or an optimist. Whether one is an environmentalist, or otherwise. Any predictions will be as much fantasy as having any element of truth.

Computers will continue to gain in power.

In the near future, there will be huge bandwidth problems as technology and goals outstretch the infrastructure that we have in place. For example, people will desire blu-ray quality downloads, and the infrastructure to distribute them will begin to be put in place. However, there will be a lag with the ISPs to provide the access. However, these immediate problems will be resolved over the next 5 decades, perhaps to be replaced by new desires or needs for more computer resources.

Dedicated "Entertainment Rooms" will likely become more popular, with people choosing ungodly large wall sized TVs, or perhaps even surround TV's.

There will be some rebounds between store-bought food vs good old fashioned home cooking, home canning. And perhaps this will be a symbol of large segments of the population looking back towards the "old ways".

There will be a gradual shift to more efficient automobiles, and to Electric Automobiles. But, it will be a slow and tough process. It will come in leaps and bounds and will also include some brownouts, power rate hikes, electricity commodity trading, and construction of new Nuclear Power Plants.

Despite better computers and increased safety standards, there will be increased pressure to keep old nuke plants active and pushing for peak production. The power crunches may lead to at least one major event at a nuclear power plant.

The first Fusion Power Plant will probably come online. But we have yet to see the full ramifications of this technology.

There will be a reawakening in Space Exploration. The first permanent Lunar settlement will be in place. The first Mars and Venus settlements will be in the planning stages.

There will be a better understanding of Gravity and the "fabric of space", but there will not be any FTL or Warp Technology coming out of it in the near future. Perhaps a "Generation Ship" to the Centauri Star Cluster will be in the planning with a goal of arrival in a few centuries.

There will be more technology to extend life, including cultured organs. However, it will be impossible to fully prevent the deterioration of the mind in conjunction with he rest of the body.

Economic Crises will continue to rock the world. There will be repercussions of advancing automation vs "Jobs" and "Job Satisfaction". We will reach a stage where, say half the world population "doesn't need to work". And the economic consequences of this will not be ripples, but more like a tidal wave through our society.

The Global Human Population Growth will reach a crisis. Especially with respect to differences between the "developed world" and the "developing world", distinctions that will continue for many decades to come. Economic repercussions due to the automation as well as continued population growth will hit the developing nations heavily.

The Woolly Mammoth will be cloned. But, there will continue to be pressure of the imminent extinction of species. As the human population continues to grow, there will be continued battles between conservationists, poachers, and just needs for more housing and arable land.

Next 500 YearsWe can't predict the future. Would anyone in 1747 predict the atomic bomb? No.

This question is impossible to answer, both in according with physics and common sense.

Alternative answerDeterminism will be disproved.i thought the world was coming to and end. So its the reason i kept bothering people if the worl is coming to an end

you may think "no one can predict what will happen in that long period of time" but the answer is simple if your like me and belive in god you will know because the world is so crazy and there is lots of cayoss that some time in the long stretch between now and in 100 years god will come rescue the belivers(who belive in god) and take them to heaven but non belivers and people that are bad will burn in hell.

Some people says there are some chances that the Sun might run out of fuel, expand until it becomes a red giant (Which swallows the Earth, and including Mercury, Venus, and Moon) and then after it expands, its shell will collapse, explode, and leave a planetary nebula

-According to some people, like scientists

Most scientists predicted that fossil fuels could ran out by the end of the century. There will be inventions like forever ethanol, unbreakable eraser, building farce and dead methane. The world's population could reach to 12 to 15 billion.

The future is what you make of it. There is no way to know what is going to happen. I'm still waiting for my flying car!

Oh come on, five billion isn't a large number, 5,000,000,000. It is only 10 digits long, as my calculator can solve 10,000. There are a few Doctor Who episodes set in five billion...

Actually what many estimate is that the earth would be roasted by the sun's increasing luminosity. By one billion years, multicellular life would have already died as temperatures exceed 117 F. This is because of the permanent depletion of the ozone layer as well as the dropping carbon levels. Much of the earth will be a hot dry barren desert and the only water will be at the poles. In 1.3 billion years, all eukaryotic organisms will perish as toxic water vapor clouds shroud the planet. As soon as the temperature reaches 296 F, all organisms die period. The oceans have clearly evaporated. Around 4 billion years, the Andromeda Galaxy will merge with our galaxy, tossing stars up and about as a new elliptical galaxy forms.

And in 5 billion years, the sun will turn into a red giant, the final stage of its existence, the luminosity has increased by 55%, as Mercury and Venus have already been engulfed in flames and destroyed. In 7.59 billion years, the earth's surface temperature would've risen to 4780 F. The moon will fall into debris and rain on our molten surface. Saturn's moon Titan will only be the most habitable planet, but in 8 billion years, the sun would have cast a planetary nebula and become a white dwarf. The whole solar system freezes for trillions of years until the sun cools into a dark degenerate black dwarf, and the frozen planets are ejected from the system due to orbital energy decay or close stellar encounters. By that time perhaps quadrillions or even quintillions of year would've passed, and there will be no more stars in the universe. The skies have fallen into endless darkness.

Don't discount me, these predictions are based off measurements of speed and time and astrophysics. It was confirmed that the sun was 10% dimmer 100 million years ago; as well as today, the HST recording and tracking Andromeda's movements.
