Overpopulation is not an issue. Read about the green revolution, and how that vastly increased the amount of people Earth could sustain. GM crops are going to allow us to do similar things with a predicted 9 billion.
20 years from now, it will be possible to sequence your entire genome for under $100, and within a day or two. Computing power will have continued to increase exponentially and its price drop, meaning computers are absolutely ubiquitous everywhere - drones in particular are going to become a big thing for governments/research. 3D printing will also be more common-place, but still a fringe activity, and mind-to-computer interfaces will be approaching the point where they're available for mass-market use.
Also, Half Life 3 might be released by then.

I love you, Escapist. Most other places where something like this gets posted would have at least some people taking it seriously and believing it. But you guys go straight in with parody and debunking.
20 years from now all the children who watched the Transformers movies and where insired will be directors making horrible, loud, explosion filled, adrenaline junky movies that have no sense of plot, style or structure. Most of these movies will be made entirely out of CG using a hologram of Will Smith, Bruce Willis or Jackie Chan teamed up with popular female celebrity of the time.
i am currantly constructing an underground bunker that will contain enough David lynch, John carpenter, Steven Speilberg and other movies to sustain me.
20 years from now George Lucas will be releasing the enitire Starwars boxset with all new remastered scenes such as now Han Solo and Greedo come to a peaceful resolution, with them calmy discussing the predicament over a cup of tea.

20 years from now, I won't know who you are.
I won't know what you wanted.
If you were looking for ransom, I can tell you I didn't have money... but what I did have were a very particular set of skills.
Skills I have acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
If you let my daughter go back then, that would have been the end of it - I wouldn't have looked for you, I would not have pursued you... but you didn't, so I will look for you, I will find you...
And I will kill you.
Makes sense to me.
Captcha: Taco Tuesday.
...Indeed.

20 years from now you'll be disappointed I feel.
Do you have anything to back up any of this?craftomega said:
But how can you cite nonsense and idiotic statements?Unsilenced said:
Makes me laugh how he thinks asia will collapse, considering china is simply growing and becoming stronger.
Me thinks this be troll, but shall join in
20 years from now, the president of America will be an 8 year old Albanian girl.
Oh my God y'all, OP is an Esper and a Timer Traveler.
Because some of those statements are kinda specific. Of course, the world is pretty much always in a state of "war" on some, small scale. A large scale war though? Ummmmmmm.
And that stuff about Asian, the Middle East(which IS Asia), and Africa destroying themselves is downright farfetched.

20 years from now the world will be much the same, except the rich will have more gadgets, better provisions and higher living standards.
The only solid prediction I would make is that we will all have our own personal 3D printers, and they will be integrated into our daily lives as much as the internet has been.

Say hello to piracy of EVERYTHING.Hero in a half shell said:
And enjoying the irony of the "you wouldn't download a car" videos, in an age where you can.
20 years from now, Square-Enix will still not be making a remake/remastering of Final Fantasy 7
20 years from now, Square-Enix will have released 10 new FF7 spin-off games and 2 movies
20 years from now, Valve will have been teasing Half-Life 4 for at least a decade
20 years from now, tea-cup elephants (elephants that are small)
20 years from now, guinea bears (bears that are small)
20 years from now, mobile suits (at least in R&D)
20 years from now, I'll be 44 and I'll still have to ask my wife for confirmation of that fact whereas 20 years before I've only had to ask my GF my age three times.
This is really fun!

20 years from now i'll be in 42
I will have a fulltime job that pays well enough to support a family and my hobbies, have my own home, a lovely wife and at least one kid , and the world will be peachy enough for my offspring to grow up in...
......wait....not that kinda thread? A man can dream i suppose.

20 years from now people will still be self-centred enough to believe that billions of years of life will come to a halt while they happen to be alive.
Coastal Australia will be New America. The central area will still be equal to being swallowed by a Sarlacc in regards to probability of death.CODE-D said:
Ah, the possibilities:
20 years from now: Advances in technology will cause world leaders to convene resulting in the decision that everyone is now officially living in "The Future". All citizens will be issued a form-fitting silver jumpsuit and laser pistol.
20 years from now: US and Russian forces collide in Washington DC, engaging in a fierce battle with paintball guns as part of the biannual "Reenact 'Call of Duty' Day" (Airport Reenactment skippable).
20 years from now: The technology present in Deus Ex: Human Revolution will either look scarily accurate or incredibly silly.
20 years from now: Thunderdome becomes one of the leading forms of entertainment... and it's awesome!!!
20 years from now: We finally receive a signal from an extraterrestrial intelligence. Unfortunately, rather than being a codex of their civilization and knowledge, it turns out to be a live and unfiltered stream of interstellar Chat Roulette. Scientists are faced with the unenviable task of analyzing 2 hours worth of alien penises. (At least we know where to kick them if they invade.)
20 years from now: An amazing breakthrough in physics makes faster than light travel a real possibility. Construction of starships immediately commences due to speculation by exo-biologists that there might be "hot alien chicks to bang."
20 years from now: I'll be sipping a beer on my expansive Martian estate, yelling at kids to "Get the hell off my perfectly bio-engineered lawn."
A bunch of other cool stuff happens, but I don't feel like throwing down all the spoiler tags.

Me too. Fortunately for guys like us, when Mecha-Hitler arises to form the 4th Reich, he'll be promptly destroyed due to our experience playing Wolfenstein 3D. We'll be heralded as heroes of the world, and showered with money and women.Rawne1980 said:
