We will have met up with an alien race and figured out how to dispose o all our pollution periodically, and thus be able to live many more millennia.
How do you imagine the world by 2050?

Much better than it is now, just like it always has been every 40 years in the future.
edit - Sadly, you're all very, very wrong. People have been predicting very real, very near future doom since the dawn of history. And lots of uneducated and quick-to-scare folks (like all of you) have been all too ready to believe it. Guess what. It never, ever happened. Things just kept getting better.

A lot like it is now in some ways, radically different in others.
For example, people never change. There will be war, there will be poverty, there will be fear, there will be xenophobia and homophobia.
But perhaps we'll also have electric cars who drive themselves. Who knows?

It really depends. If nothing is done in the near future then by 2050 we will have seen massive environmental changes due to the fact that climate change is accelerating exponentially. This will certainly have catastrophic effects on the world economy and resource availability. So yeah, your description may not be too far off the truth.
Besides more advanced technology and higher standards of living, it's impossible to tell.
Although I can safely say that we'll be safe from any over-population because of standards of living in both the Third World(which probably won't exist by that time) and the First World.
More education and prosperity=less babies being born.

Exactly. Would you honestly rather live in the early 20th century where racism was the norm and a shortage of food on the farm could kill you?theevilsanta said:

I think it will be led by evil communist mutants from the planet Xenorph!
