What will the world look like by 2040?

I won't be here our society is killing itself to live.  More houses more buildings. More people

If people would build up rather than out, (same population density as Hong Kong) the world population today could fit in an area twice the size of Texas. Estimated population of 2050 would need only three times the size of Texas. That leaves the rest of the world for growing food and industry. Lots of room for more :)

No  trees , no animals !!! Only buildings factories would be there I think so , we are destroying the things which helps us. It's the fate of this world but one thing nature would destroy us in seconds ....

Pretty much the same as it does now. That's only 25 years from now.

It will be a little more crowded and the water level of the oceans will be a little higher, though not yet enough to cause problems.

There will be more mosques and fewer churches and the roads will be used by computer-directed, driverless cars which may no longer be running on petrol.

Farmlands will have diminished slightly as the cities grow larger and the landscapes will be dotted with wind farms and solar energy generators.

Even more (as one IBM executive quipped in the 1980s) if they make the same advances in aeronautics that have been made in computers, it will be possible to fly around the world in 20 minutes at a cost of $10 in an aircraft six inches long.

A world with a lot of robots!! People won't do anything at that time !

If we wanna clean up the home, a robot does it.

If we wanna make food, a robot does it and etc

I think people will be fatter and the population of the world will be around 10 billion and off course there will be a lot of crime and the third world war happens ha ha !! Atomic war!

Many islands will be submerged under high sea levels because of an increase in polar ice caps melting as a knock on effect of global warming. For example, Venice will be full submerged underwater and many other islands and countries as well.

The world will be fully populated and there will be virtually no room left on the planet meaning we'll have to come up with ways to create cities in the sky and underwater (like Bioshock) so that we can live in as many places as possible. Space technology will have advanced insanely meaning we'll have probably discovered a lot more of the universe, visited most of the planets in our galaxy and maybe discovered lifeforms and maybe an inhabitable planet in the universe.

Our lives will depend on technology-completely. We'll end up like the movie Wall-e and be reliant on robots and machines to do simple activities like movement and feeding. Cars will be robot controlled and there'll be millions of lives saved because of advances in technology meaning we can avoid accidents which will mean increases in population.

Farming will probably not exist because we'll have some kind of pill or something which we can take to satisfy our hunger meaning food production will not need to exist. Most animals used for farming will probably be endangered, in a special zoo trying to repopulate the species or will be full extinct. Many species will be the same however, we'll discover new species of animals as well and many other species of plants etc. Meaning we'll be able to create medicines and cures for major diseases equally increases in population. Life expectancy will increase heavily meaning the population will increase even more.

In conclusion, our world will be a totally different place and it will be a bad world to live in. The new generation, which I am part of, are the only hope we have of changing this world.

Hope that music will still be good to listen to...
