The Future

[KaydeeKrunk]

all i really hope is that nikola tesla's wireless energy idea would become a reality so we wouldnt have to have all these gross wires everywhere tbh. edison was an idiot k

And we've got to bring back the death ray! I have a cute little poster I got for donating towards a museum for him. =D Such a beautiful genius!

Well, its 2015...

We still don't have hoverboards....

Like seen in Back to the Future II? What don't they have that we have today? Internet, iPhones, and iPads. Google and Microsoft are extinct in BTTF 2, but big in reality.

One thing that we're going to see in the future is autonomous cars (or Global Positioning Satellite driven cars). You see, cars now have GPS navigators to locate destinations. Self-driving cars are now in production. In 10 to 20 years, autonomous cars will be all over the roads. I thought this would be a good idea since it can prevent car accidents, but jobs like truck drivers will be gone.

For your entertainment, my English teacher in college shown us a list of jobs that would be completely replaced by a computer in the next 10 to 20 years based on the evolution of Siri. At the bottom of the list, we start out with unpopular jobs. But as we go up, we start seeing some more popular jobs. Basically, most of the production jobs and transportation jobs will be gone. Going up even higher, we start getting to the jobs that are more unlikely to be replaced, and at the top, we get to the jobs that are least likely to be replaced. Even if some jobs will still be occupied by humans, others are already gone.

We seen horror films where robots destroy humanity, but in real life, we see what's really scary about robots becoming more common.

Yes! I hope that leaders see some sense and start urging this to happen soon.

I really don't think that being vegan is something that should be enforced by world leaders.

If you make it illegal to eat animals, the only thing you're going to have is a huge increase in prison population which at the end of the day, even if we're in a state where we don't need to eat animals, it's something we were 'built' to do and many people will defend defend their right to do it.

I agree with you. Also, I hear that labs are growing meat. With lab grown meat and GMOs in production, we can prevent the hunger problem while we can stop killing animals and non GMO plants.

Growing meat? That's unnatural and creepy. Not to mention wrong... xD It's as wrong as killing animals imo.

It's more complicated than what I'm saying.

So I can tell that you're really against meat eating. You can't force me to believing in your opinions.

What? I'm not trying to... .-. I was just sharing my opinion... I eat meat. I'm just against scientists playing with nature like that, and hunting since it isn't fair to the other animal, since hunters have weapons. I'm sorry if you misunderstood. ^-^

The future is the sun turning redder. But that's a long ways to go.

It is a bit unnatural and creepy but if it gives real meat that is 100% the real deal without actually killing anything it's a good thing.

I would probably have to get over the fact that it's 'lab grown meat' myself to be honest but if/when it becomes a viable source of meat, I would probably take that over slaughtered meat assuming it's just as good. Aside from it being 'weird', there's not really anything morally wrong with it as far as I'm concerned.

At any rate, I don't see how it's as wrong as killing an animal. The meat isn't prevented from living a normal life if it was never 'alive' to begin with, unless strips of bacon and steak have now become sentient and roam the wilderness. It's arguably the same as taking the life of a carrot at that stage.

Bigger iPhones for sure!

Or we could all just start eating those processed poo patties that Japan made.

Yea...I think I would rather eat test tube gammon than poop burgers

SEE? There is worse things out there.

As for me I have no problem not eating meat, but the second we ruin the ocean to the point where I can't have fish I will probably die.

It's necessary for animals, though. We, in the modern world, can survive without meat. I and many other vegans are proof of that! I truly believe that while it's unnecessary to eat meat, it shouldn't be a thing. We should only do it if we have to, and we just don't have to. In a natural environment, it's out of our hands, but in society, there's no need for it.

I don't think we can get everyone to go vegan by then. It's a part of nature for humans, like many primates, to be omnivorous. I don't think it's wrong to kill another animal. However it is wrong for all the abuse and inhumane methods in slaughterhouses and the mass production in the meat industry. I think it's better to promote, local farms and butchers, free range chickens, and "happy" cows. As well as fighting against cruelty in slaughterhouses and mass meat producing companies. To me it seems more realistic than everyone going vegan.

I would totally buy a grow your own meat kit.

Most of us are going to be alive by 2050 (35 years) and I can tell you now that I'm not going to stop eating eggs and drinking milk for breakfast if a world leader told me to lol.

 

[Cazqui]

Why the **** is everyone on this thread so cynical? If you think the future is gonna be so bad then it will be if you accept the world as it is or you could do the best solution, work to build a better one instead of *****ing about how ****ty everything is now. It's that kind of lazy blind acceptance attitude that the world is the way it is now!

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

Oh damn man, throwing some straight truth our way! I agree, we are overly negative. I do have hope that the world will get our **** together, like the whole world switching to solar and everything, and I know we'll only get things better in technology and stuff too. I am sure in the future, possibly distant, that we will advance as a species and get past all this yuck in the world, bettering ourselves, but there is a long way to go.

That's disgusting. Don't touch that

Would you care if your fruits or vegetables are genetically modified? We're going to see more GMOs in the future.
