    What do you hope humanity will achieve within the next 100 years?

    Im not talking world peace or flying cars and teleportation here, im talking realistic hopes, for what humanity may achieve within the next 100 years, nothing hugely far fetched.

    For me, i hope we finally discover a viable alternate fuel source, with enough of it to go around for the whole planet, i personally think it could do wonders for us, what about you guys?

    What do you hope we can achieve?

    I hope organized religions will be a thing of the past.

    At the risk of getting infracted, I hope this as well.

    I think it's ok to MENTION religion, just not to discuss it.

    I guess we'll find out.

    I want them to perfect stem cell research. Cloned organs and body parts with zero chance of rejection is the holy grail of medicine at the moment.

    Additional gains in eradicating infectious diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS and the like.

    True separation of church and state.

    All else will follow.

    Lets learn how to not get cancer??

    I would like significant advances in medical technology and in energy sources.

    Super cheap abundant alternative energy would probably be my one big realistic hope. Irrefutable proof and contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life within our galaxy.

    Other things that I hope for but won't happen.
    Humanity advancing beyond our technological adolence without self annihilation.
    A method of travel (maybe transportation) to allow people to travel from one side of the globe to the other in mere minutes.

    Have to agree on this one. Even the construction of organs based on tissue taken from the recipient in conjunction with organic scaffolding would do wonders to drastically reduce wait times, assuming that it's quick and not extremely expensive.

    within a 100 years? lets see.

    worldwide famine, hunger and disease
    the gap between poor and wealthy growing to the point of poor being equivalent of slaves
    collapse of basic freedoms

    within 500 years,

    probably near extinction.

    An inexpensive portable high power environmentally friendly renewable fuel source.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I think your pessimism is a bit strong there.
