How do you imagine the world by 2050?

I imagine people will be protesting everything left and right, one choice is immediately has someone against it even if they were for it. For example video games people hate them in .he future but once they are outlawed everyone loves them. The governments of the world will create fake social networkers to keep people in check and use their stats and "likes" against them in courts. People will think they are incredibility smart when the aren't. :\ I just have a feeling this will happen by 2020.
Bring it! I'll rip their throats out with my bare hands!The Ambrosian said:
Seriously though, a great story, just a shame the game fell a bit short in delivery. Like Logan Westbrook said, a more of a free roaming, exploratory factor would greatly improve the game, as the stations are really atmospheric, but zip by really fast.
And I will never have enough fun stabbing nosaliases through the throat!
Even so, very under-rated. The shooting isn't too bad, the only bad thing is the occasional glitch, well too me anyway.The Cheezy One said:
Me as president presiding over a utopia of united continents as I lead us into war with the galoptews a barbaric people who blew up new york before getting blasted by our space defense system at the end of the war I shall behead their emperor taking his place. Once I take the place of the emperor I will order a mass suicide making the galoptews extinxt.
In 2100 earth Will be a mix of many different aliens and humans racism will be heavy and well history repeats itself.

2050 not gonna happen I'm afraid. In 2043 an inventor named George Albarn is going to perfect the very first, fully working, paradox solving time machine. Then, it will be highjacked by a secret organisation who will send a Hitman style assassin through, back to the garden of Eden where he will snipe out Adam and Eve; effectively solving all of humanities problems.
Roll on 2043!

This is the more optimistic route. Hopefully this will happen, but there are many things, like nukes that could go off, and if the opposite of what you said happens, well, just go watch Idiocracy.Ham_authority95 said:

Next to modern day console shooters, it is definitely an experience to be had. Especially as in-depth console games such as this and bioshock are few and far between.The Ambrosian said:
Is that game any good? I've got some leftover Microsoft Points and I really don't have any idea what it's about.
To be honest, I just want to see what video games are going to look like in 2050.
Exactly. I mean... take a look at 1984... George Orwell predicted that would be what 1984 would look like. And he certainly wasn't the first to try and say that the future would be terrible.theevilsanta said:

Didn't they call it "the world of tomorrow"?Scarim Coral said:
I think the future by that point will either be awesome (from new technology, sorting out the environmental stuff and possible colonization of other worlds) or something suicidally depressing. Yay.
Though even if we get the good future, the world(s) will always have problems, conflicts and disasters.
How does the Assassin know when or where Adam and Eve are? And assuming you believe in creation theory, how would he then have been born X centuries later to go snipe aforementioned ancestors? You have created the ultimate grandfather parapdox! (Physicists theory about the Grandfather Paradox is that it would be impossible, because there would be nothing you could do in the past to prevent your birth. Nature will protect itself from being time-space-continuum fucked.Joshroom said:
Reminds me of how under-rated singularity is. It's not the best but I really enjoyed it...The Cheezy One said:
You know, i'm gonna go play Metro, i'm only like four hours in.
I am the leader of the one of groups of humans on earth. The human race has been annihilated by the aliens from the planet Zernut. They are bulky with huge claws and fangs that can tear through metal and they have octopus like tentacles with thorns the size of a child's arm coming of their backs. They used an airbourne virus that only humans with a small genetic abnormality could survive for any longer than a few hours. We were able to send out to send out a distress signal calling for aid and warning them to use air masks to our fleet halfway across our solar system while the aliens were looking for survivors. We hide now in an abandoned government safe house. All we can do is wait, a hope that our fleet gets here soon.
Or maybe it'll be the same, who knows. Here's hoping for personal hovercrafts.

It will probably be quite different in either a technological or political way. Not sure about much beyond that
the sad part is, your 1st prediction is probably true.pyrosaw said:
I believe the world would be BORDERLINE cyberpunk, with certain technologies very high tech, but others still retained.
something like the Neon Genesis Evangelion/Rebuild of Evangelion universe... with less giant biohumans and alien angels trying to kill us.
Time for the mandatory Doktor Sleepless quote about how we're living in 'the future' now and need to stop bitching about not having jetpacks:
I predict vat-grown meat and AR constructs intergraded into society.

Speaking of moon colonies, I believe Japan is already working on plans to construct a facility there to mine helium-3, which is a fusion by-product that... aw hell, if you want to learn about it you can wiki it. Suffice to say it's a tremendous source of power and if it can be mined and transferred safely then it could solve a lot of problems on Earth. I'm actually doing a literature review at uni right now on methods for using bacteria to generate hydrogen from sewage- there's some amazing work going on right now on enzymes, photocatalysis, nanotech and customised life-forms coming down the pipe (sometimes literally) that could well revolutionise the energy industry in the coming decades.
If we can restrain the supervillain-esque urges of Monsanto and their ilk we may be able to turn genetic modification of food crops into something that can keep everybody alive and healthy while we sort out our population issues. According to David Attenborough (who got his information from reliable anthropologists) the best ways to reduce the number of children a couple have are:
1) Reduce poverty- if you have more cash you don't need as many kids to support you in old age
2) Provide education for girls, encouraging them to find work and marry later (if at all)
3) Barrier contraceptives, baby (no pun intended)
It's going to require some big changes in attitude, but it can be done. It'll have to be done.
On the more techy side of things, we're fast approaching the technological singularity- in the next 5-10 years artificial intelligence will supercede natural intelligence and we may find that our creations and their truly "outsider" perspectives will help us to take a better look at ourselves. Sharing the planet with something smarter than us might inject some much needed humility into our assorted leaders and CEOs. Or it'll be war against the machines, but peace would be so much more interesting
On a personal level... I dunno. Cranial implants? Babelfish 2.0 installed in children to let them understand and (sort of) speak all languages? Brain mods to make us hyper-intelligent? The internet 3.0 and beyond redefining the concepts of 'intelligence' and 'education' to reflect the limitless knowledge available online to anyone who knows how to find it? If the internet has taught us anything, it's that whatever's coming will be moe amazing and more bizarre than anything we've come up with so far.
And, of course, we'll all be old duffers by then and whatever the future does bring we'll look upon it with disdain and tell our grandkids that it was so much better in our day when if you wanted to beat a virtual hooker to death you had to at least pick up a controller...
