Topic: What will the world be like in 2050? (Read 111 times)

As the world population is growing, there will definitely be jobs for humans to work. AI has its own part to play. There won't be hunger, take China for instance, they used their numerical strength to their own advantage, because more population means more productivity, so I don't think anybody should panic because of estimated world population to grow at a setting rate years to come.

I don't think moving to Mars is something most person seem to be too excited about, first of all the population of the world today has not even gone one quarter to fill up the space on Earth, we've not been able to inhabit the nooks and cranny of Earth to it's brim, why will there be so much excitement to move out of Earth when there are lots of places we still haven't explored as humans. I feel Elon musk plan to make Mars habitable is to fulfill his long desired passion, so people can easily go out of space and see how another planet outside Earth looks like, but deciding to stay there and start a family, is a decision I don't think humans are ready to take anything soon.

In the next 30years first of all there will be reduction in the human services requirement due to the introduction of AI so many human services no doubt will be needless but the same AI that will tend to dominate the work force will also be needing maintainance hence the need for certain skills to remain relevant in the future
Life will always accumulate and create room for every one and people and tribe because the world has the ability to take as many people as possible it will only open room for discovery and an eye opener to certain ways to adjust to accomodate whatever population that may be

the most important question that you should be asking should be if you will even be alive to witness the year and if you will be Alife, what kind of a life you will have and how the effect of the changes that will happen at the till tell on you.

one thing that is very much certain is that we are not even sure what will become of the world in the next ten years. it can get better, or things can get really bad or nothing much might really change. even if you are among the world policy makers that has what it takes to influence the world in a curtain way, it might just take a pandemic or a devastating crisis for things to change into something that is totally different from what we have all expected to see. leaving the earth and going to the mars is never an achievement for me except if i visits the mars, it has a tendency of giving me the ability of becoming an immortal, then and only then will that look like a big deal or else we leave on the earth for as much as God permits and exit when our time comes.

I don't think the population of the world in the next 30 years is something we should be bothered about. The government and some world elites like Bill Gates are already clamoring for population control. Right now, some countries have already legalised abortion. Some have already put in place measures to ensure that a proper birth control is practiced by all. If for any reason in the future the world's population threatens to be a problem, measures too will be put in place to control it.

As for AI taking over jobs, by 2050, people's thinking, mentality and knowledge will evolve and they will have the ability to earn even in the presence of AI. Humans rule the world,  if AI is going to be a problem to humans, humans alone have the right to regulate the use of AI to create an effective work balance.

Possible that there will be rocket cruises to the Mars not for exploration but for tours. And I remember him say before that on the future, we'll no longer work but people won't work for compensation anymore but everything will be automated as if the majority of it. But I do believe that there will be places, people and countries that are laggards in terms of innovation and can't keep up with technology advancement. AI and automation will bring a lot of benefit to the companies that want to cut their cost of salaries for their people when they have a robot that never complains to work and only needs some few minor repairs and rests.

The is something about the future and it has a way to remain unpredictable to people. No matter how calculative we are, through history or available data, we are not always accurate in predicting. Things might take different shape altogether.

However, I am sure that;
Population will keep increasing;
Inflation will keep killing us;
If BTC will still be in existence, it will be so expensive to afford;
Decision making in government will tilt towards decentralization;
Trustless payment methods will dominate.

I think what matters most is the fact that the earth is big enough to occupy triple of the population we're currently on in this world today. According to estimates, there about 8 billion people on earth today and  the total number of landmass in the world is over 13 billion hectares and out of these numbers and estimates, only 3 percent of the landmass is covered by urban areas according to GRUMPS Where's 40% of the land is covered by agricultural activities according to UW Madison's center. Now when you combined both the 3% and the 40% percent, you will have a total of 43% land space inhabited by humans.

What you can tell as a matter of fact is that there are still a large expanse of uncovered and ungovernable space available on earth for more houses to be established and more agricultural activities to take place. So, I don't think we can really estimate what the size of the world will be in the next 30 to 50 years to come, rather we can only guarantee the space available for human beings to leave.

There are factors such as wars, natural disasters among other force majeuers that could cause a significant decline in the population of the world before then,m and there are equally other factors that could significantly raise the numbers before then. What's more certain is the space available for the world's population to survive and that's absolutely guaranteed.

Things doesn't works in way that you described. It's not that world population double in x number of years. UN estimated that by 2050 world population will reach 9.7 billion and 10.4 by mid 2080s:

I guess that's enough there is enough place on earth for such number of peopole, but we need to slow down a bit with crazy waste. It's question about population density - some places are crazy over populated, people live like sardines in can there and there is places which is basically half empty.
Moving to Mars looks nothing more like utopia. Something similar like in old movies where they talk that in 2030 we will have flying cars .

I believe the governments of the countries like the United States and China have already realized it would not be possible for Earth to harbor as many as 32 billion people in the future, so I think what it is going on nowadays is a long term project or program to discourage people from having children, by increasing the prices of shelter, food and other basic things any family would need. Also, the development of artificial intelligence will be crucial for people to stop having children at the same rate they do today, as the intention of AI development is to kill as many human jobs as possible in the future. No jobs means no sources or income, without income there are no well structured and independant families and with less families and more demands for higher education universities will get even more expensive in the future.

Also, I think we are still very far from colonizing Mars and making it suitable for human colonies there.

In the year 1900, we were 500 million as the global population.
Since then, every 30 years this number has doubled. 1 billion by 1930, 2 billion by 1960, 4 billion by 1990, 8 billion by 2020.

30 years must be a rough estimation for the average couple on earth to have children, and we need more births to remain productive and grow the economy. However, I do not believe that it is sustainable to have another population doubling in 30 years. We would be 16 billion by 2050 and 32 billion by 2080.

What will happen?
I believe that AI will take over most jobs within 10 years, and the global elites will find a way to drastically reduce global population.

Who will be the leading global superpower in the future? I doubt it would be the USA. On the other hand, Israel needs the USA to defend itself and I believe that they are now looking for a way to solve the debt problem and keep the USA as a superpower. They are very aware that without the USA, they are utterly defenseless. So that gives me hope. I believe that crypto will be the gateway to wipe out the 36 trillion dollar debt problem and switch to a new set of rules in which the USA remains dominant.

I do not believe that governments will be able to pay pension funds to anyone in the future, in the monetary system as it is now. Hence why I am not saving money for retirement. I invest and diversify, and intend to be self sufficient by growing my own crops.

Will we move to a different planet? If so, it must be Mars.
I'm excited about Musks dream to make Mars a habitable planet.
