What a great world we get to live in!

I feel like this is going to come faster. Remember that the computer was made in 1936 and the first smartphone was made in 1992. Look how far we have gotten in just a few years.

There will be no middle class. Only rich and poor. Most of the area on earth will be violent and crime ridden places, and a small portion will be labeled “green zones” where people with enough money will be able to live can already start to see it happening

Edit: and seriously people are replying calling me crazy. Lmao. You can literally see it happening in major cities. Los Angeles, the middle class is leaving. Chicago, the middle class is leaving. So who is left? The super rich, and the ultra poor, who the super rich use as cheap labor. It’s not hard to realize this.

And no, I’m not a progressive, and no I’m not poor. 🙄

I am 65 years old. 50 years ago I was 15 and at 15 I remember imagining what the world will be like in 50 years, knowing one day if I survive that I would see it. I survived. I have seen it. I want to go back. Will todays people be like me in 50 years? Will they long for the days of old?

[VinoVeritas_]

These people are considered experts? You should've just asked some 7 year old kids the question and you would've received more imaginative ideas.

[suds]

Yeah right, look what they said in the 1950s “In 50 years time we will have flying cars”.
