I think every European country is part of the EC
Many creatures we are now familiar with might be extinct
the Middle-East is fully tied to America
TV is full of terribly disgusting programmes
rapmusic is extinct or complete trap (or it has been revived,wich is also a possibility)
Technology has reached a level we can now only dream of or can't even imagine
People have been to Mars
Bush will be remembered as a bad president
the gap between rich and poor has gotten even worse.

Yall are too pessimistic.  In 80 years, I believe the world will be a much better place.  I think the world is a better place now than it was 80 years ago.  We have problems and aspects of society that are worse, but in general, things are much better now.  

In 80 years, there will have been incredible advances in science and medicine, people will routinely live to be 110 or so, maybe more.  Life is much, much, much easier now than it was 80 years ago, if you were poor then, you were living in the dirt.  If you're poor now, you're living in an apartment with only 2 bedrooms.  Similarly, the future will be better than we are today.  Of course there will always be those who have no perspective and don't realize how good off they are.

Jesus may return before then, then we'll all be here for a long while.  The Mayans tend to point to 2012 as the end of time.  LOL Or actually their calender says that on that date, the world will 'reset' (that's when the calender resets, it's cyclical), and that the earth will be made new again (which is what the bible says will happen when Jesus returns).  Think about that, 2012.  Thats' crazy.  If that is the date, then we'll see some sort of peace treaty signed with Jerusalem and Palestine in 2005.  Man, that's feasible.  This could turn out to be correct, because the Mayans were very advanced and their calendar is far superior to ours.

I personally think people living up to 110 years isn't a good thing. Population increase would be enormous and there are allready to many people on earth and I can only have nightmares of what would have happened to it by then. Our natural resources will have been depleted for the most part and many species will have gone extinct ( we will be from the time that we can say to our grandchildren: Well,son when I was young...it was still possible to see polar bears or rhinos alive and well.")

I'd rather see all species we know today to still be extant and having a bright future then a (even more) terrible overpopulation of humans.

i think the westwern countries in particular will be in trouble just look whats happening we replacing people with machines n shit in manufacturing and we're exporting our service industries to india and i think africa soon too plus cheap manufacturing in east asia looks like we're gonna be shit out of jobs. on the other hand we could all turn communist then it won't just be the big multinationals who benefit and we can all live like kings

Yeah Don Rizzle fact is, we invent ways in wich we need less people to work but at the same time our population keeps increasing.

Jesus isn't coming back unless the Last Day is upon us. I hope I don't have to be alive for that.

Honestly I cant say.  In many ways we are better than before but in many ways we are far worse off than before.  If we continue to murder the planet then we might not even last that long.  

Cant see any of this Jesus stuff happening though.
