In 100 years, the world will likely be transformed by extreme climate change, with more intense weather, rising sea levels submerging coastal cities, and mass migration, while simultaneously experiencing incredible technological leaps like advanced AI, gene editing, and mind-machine interfaces, creating a future of potential ecological devastation alongside transhumanist advancements, depending heavily on actions taken now. Expect advanced AI integration, personalized medicine via nanobots, shifts in food production (ocean farming), virtual reality reshaping work, and new geoengineering efforts, but also severe water shortages and resource conflicts.
In 100 years, each country will become 6-8 degrees warmer, and this means that all areas will experience water shortages. Due to the scarce resources, like water and habituation, it is inferred that many conflicts and possible wars can start.
“The average man of 2025 will wear a synthetic felt one-piece suit and a hat—baldness being almost universal by then.” Oh, 1925. You really thought 2025 would be the year everyone embraced full-blown baldness like it was a fashion trend.
Humans Could Live For 1,000 Years by 2050—Ushering in the Dawn of 'Practical Immortality,' Futurists Say. Some experts warn that this radical change may remain out of reach for many, due to societal and economic challenges. Technology futurists foresee advances that will enable humans to live up to 1,000 years.
And by the year 2075 the growth rate will reach almost 0%, meaning the human population will no longer expand any further. This will also lead to slowing economic growth as we approach 2075. This also indicates that we might see the world economy shrinking during the last few decades of this century.
In 1 sextillion years (10²¹ years), the universe will be a vastly different, dark place: the era of star formation will have ended, all stars will have burned out into white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes, planets will be cold and lifeless, and even protons might begin to decay, leading towards the "Big Freeze" or heat death, with only black holes slowly evaporating via Hawking radiation over unimaginable timescales. All familiar structures, including galaxies, will have long dissolved as the universe expands, leaving behind a cold, dark, and nearly empty expanse.
Which jobs will disappear by 2040? The development of AI and robotics could lead to a decline in labor-intensive jobs by 2040, including machine assemblers, postal workers, and even agricultural laborers.
Most people expect to work to 65. That varies by generation, however: Gen Z expects to retire at age 60, Boomers at 72, Millennials at 64 and Gen X at 67. 32% of Millennials and 30% of Gen Z expect to live to 100 – higher than the 22% of Gen X and 21% of Boomers who expect to become a centenarian.
Animals that WILL be Extinct by 2050 Unless We Change Our Ways
8) New homes in 2050 will be highly energy-efficient – featuring several ways of capturing, storing, and distributing energy. 9) Due to climate change, homes will need to be more responsive to weather events. In addition, better cooling systems will ensure homes don't overheat in the potentially warmer summers.
The Argument: The G-Zero lack of international leadership, the report forecast, would create vacuums that allow for greater geopolitical conflict, disruption, instability, while emboldening rogue-state and non-state actors to create new risks in outer space, under the sea, and in international airspace.

A powerful solar flare, solar superstorm or a solar micronova, which is a drastic and unusual decrease or increase in the Sun's power output, could have severe consequences for life on Earth. The Earth will naturally become uninhabitable due to the Sun's stellar evolution, within about a billion years.
On the day that Christ returns (i.e., “the last day”), all of the dead will be raised at the same time (John 5:28-29) and all people will be removed from the earth (1 Thess. 4:16-17). At that time, the Bible plainly teaches that this material planet, and everything in it, will be destroyed by fire.

The species that made the move to the Extinct category includes: the Christmas Island shrew (Crocidura trichura), a species of cone snail (Conus lugubris), the slender-billed curlew, and three Australian mammals — the marl (Perameles myosuros), the south-eastern striped bandicoot (Perameles notina), and the Nullarbor ...
Nobody can predict exactly when humans will go extinct. However, humans will go extinct at some point, because extinction is what happens to all species, and there are signs that humans will go extinct soon, in geological terms.
How can I help prevent species from going extinct and aid in their recovery?
Whilst boomers and millennials may use the 😂 emoji, this has long since been deemed 'uncool' (or 'cheugy') by Gen Z. Instead, this has been replaced by the skull (💀) or the crying emoji (😭), dramatising the idea of 'dying with laughter'.
That said, the study shows while Gen Z may want to retire in their 50s, they understand that may not happen. The report shows Gen Z expects to retire eight years later than they'd hope, at age 67, while millennials, Gen X, and baby boomers all expect 69 as their retirement age.
Boomers are the longest-living generation in history so far and increasing life expectancy makes it likely that they'll spend more time in retirement than their parents did, raising concerns about the ongoing viability of the Social Security system.
