“Researchers are confident that within 20 years they can design a vaccine to stop the spread of HIV,”
Unfortunately I saw this same exact prediction in print twenty years ago.
I’m only 54 but ailing. Otherwise, yeah, pretty much. I was an intelligence analyst in the Army and later on and one thing we do is write reports, briefings, summaries, executive white papers and the rest for high level officers and officials. I’m trying to replicate that here, to a certain extent. As an 18 year old private I wrote the twice-daily DMZ Report for President Carter, the JCS, Director of Central Intelligence and the NSC. That was just the beginning.
I’ll be 99 years old.....and...not sure I believe all this, especially if the world is morally corrupt
I was also born in 1951 and am glad I’ll miss 2050. At the rate we’re going, I don’t want to see 2020.
At the rate we’re going, I don’t want to see 2020.
At the rate we’re going, we won’t have to worry about it.
Exactly. Stop having anal sex, IV drug abuse, raping babies, and donating HIV blood.
How simple is that to stop AIDS?
Lost of pie-in-the-sky nonsense in there. The world will run on “renewable (green) energy”? Ridiculous. Solar and wind are sparse energy sources. And Hydro? Did this guy miss where some US bureaucrat proudly announced that we would “never see another Federal dam again”?
What a preposterous article. No mention of radical islam and the spreading global caliphate. Or emerging serious health threats like the ebola virus which is going to slip out of Africa and potentially lead to massive global deaths. Then we have again-ascendant radical marxism and communism on a global conquest to enslave the entire globe. And the author’s remarks about “renewable” energy are entirely in lala land. All we need is a million floating windmills! That, plus covering 100% of the southwest USA in solar panels.
“By 2035, there will be no more poor countries,” Bill Gates wrote earlier this year.”
There would have to be some sort of massive genomic alteration to actually change human nature for poor people not to exist. Unless he meant ‘no more poor governments of countries’ which probably exists now. I mean have any governmental leaders of a country in the modern era starved to death?

What? No flying cars? That’s been a staple of “Whither the Future?” articles for decades. Somehow, automated driverless cars lack pizzazz.
Amen
I’ll be 102 years young! So much to look forward to!
Being synthesized & regloofered to about age 25 & given a mission to repopulate the brave new world like Dr. Strangelove predicted in the final scene, is just like, so awesome, man!
Reading all those novels by Isaac Asimov & Robert A. Heinlein when I should have been studying, it’s all suddenly so...so...worthwhile!
Unless they invent an IQ and character pill it’ll never happen.
In 2050, I’ll be 89.
I’m gonna have my head frozen like Ted Williams and when I’m put back together in 2080, I’m going to kick some serious @ss!
You have been warned, Whipper-Snappers!
Thanks.
The anti-Christ will be welcomed by many as a savior because the world will be in a terrible mess. Obama is putting everything in place for the anti-Christ to come upon the scene.
I see mostly mind numbed robots glued to their smart phones or whatever devices they use. It’s sickening.
Well, that’s the nightmare scenario. Someone lets loose an agent that genetically alters human nature for its own supposed benefit. We end up living in fields trying to eat grass or something, all rich as lords.

What about the year 2525?
>We’ll have vaccines and cures for many diseases<
.
I very much doubt it.
The pharmaceutical industry wants you to be sick so that they can make a buck.
What good is it for them to heal the world of its illnesses?
Of course, all bets are off if the Good Lord returns before then... +{8^)
