The average life expectancy is 150 years, thanks to genetic engineering, the eradication of infectitious diseases and cancer.
Cars as we know them are extinct - no way fuel and energy can be used to transport a 70-kilo human using a 2-tonne machine. This is very inefficient. Using vehicular entities that use a centrally-located power source (electricity, magnetism?) travel corridors now consist of very light-weight modules that are self-aware and are connected to the human mind.
Communications: The Iphone is like smoke signals - something from the distant past. Now, humans communicate directly through thought transfer, thanks to implants in the brain. Implants in the eyes allow you to take pictures at will, and also to transmit them.
Crime: Virtually nonexistent. Because of total mind inter-connectivity, it si virtually impossible for deviants to commit crime without being detected.
Contraception: Getting children through heterosexual sex is no longer the norm. To maximise genetic potential, all children are conceived through genetic selection and engineering.
Nutrition: Two tablets a day will do, although this will only suffice for people who have undergone genetic manipulation to rid them of the gastro-intestinal tract. This people will not need to shit or pee for weeks on end.
Colonies: Humans will now have sizable colonies on Mars and the moon. Robotic spacecraft will have reached other planets outside our solar system. We would have made contact with extra-terrestial beings.
Art: A lost skill. The algorithms for making aesthetically pleasing sights and sounds have been decoded and machines are manufacturing their own (superior) art. However, this posed a problem since the algorithm deemed art too predictable and formulaic, leading to it’s abandonment and subsequent obscurity.
Most of the population lives on floating cities as all the polar ice caps have disappeared…kids in school learn of a now extinct race of black skinned primitive humans…after the invention of genetically modified children, all of the black race decided to have light skinned babies, all major scientists are focused on preventing an asteroid the size of the moon, heading our way, which has the possibility of destroying the harmony in our solar system
And then raira will finally be president peacefully bira kuibio …after the world becomes a global village and all the presidential posts declared obsolete
Heheh and maybe just maybe… Nairobi will finally have a tramway lines yo reduce congestion…matatus will be a thing of the past…buses will have a timetable and will arrive on time… sewerage systems will work and every house will have running water…
Not to deviate but I want to make two observations:
First, it is not possible for a human being to live for 150 years. A lot of tear and wear accumulate in your body that it is impossible to attain that age. The average age of death will always remain sub100.
Secondly, technology does not change as fast as you put it. The efficiency of how technology is deployed can change but the pace is usually slow. For example, the shape, mechanics and speed of aeroplanes has not changed in any noticeable way since 1960s. Think about gun powder that was invented in China about 900 AD and it is still in use today, though it has been replaced mostly by more powerful explosives.
200 years is not much by the way.
Lastly, this is the prime time to live on planet earth. For our descendants, the future is bleak: diminishing resources, pollution and population growth. Some countries have recognised this and set the year 2040 as the deadline for using fossil fuels.
the new mineral for energy is sea water mixed with saharan sand. the iron curtain runs through the middle of sahara. salva kiir’s alleged great great grandson, Rekenet malong lo kiir(fake mercenary name) is the new furher und reichsprasident of the southern superpower, an economic and technological giant that had stolen most of its wealth from the north and the sahara. He is from burundi , but has finally united his motherland burundi(austria) with his fatherland south sudan(new age germany) after burning the parliament of the southern dominant superpower centered on subsaharan africa and exiling rivals, namely, rolhlilala malema a warlord from southern africa and roumored to be the great great greatest grandson of the cousin of uncle to the famed economic freedom fighter julius malema and Raila kenyatta a dissident that has terrorized eastern africa claiming to be the child of a marriage between two ancient warring tribes.
In the northern parts of the world, a great great greatest grandcousin of josef stalin but apparently from hawaii(new age georgia), Ratzinger Hidler Tse tung, runs a great but poor communist nation of all fair skinned peoples, who are the majority and the former rulers of the world. there is constant unending war sustained by guerilla tactics of the north. rekenet is about to drop a plasma bomb, the new superweapon, on north’s capital. will he DO IT!!??
This is disturbingly possible. It’s high probable. '[SIZE=1]times I am certain you most likely have a brain, hehehe. I hope you lost your bifocals because if you can read This, am in trouble. [/SIZE]
