What will the USA look like 50 years from today?
Predictions: … we will have had a 4th estate type of government overhall. We will have universal social programs and higher education will be free. Our president will be a woman of color. The world Bank and federal reserve will no longer be in USD. Hollywood will have a new hot spot. Maybe Calexit will have worked. Many things will be decriminalized. No more mortgage default. Tax increase.Or, the exact opposite of this, where I become a refugee.
Can India be like USA after 50 years?
Can India be like USA after 50 years?India is an entirely different nation than the USA. The only major commonality is the much touted democracy.The American form of consumption based development is simply not suited for India. Where the American dream makes people buy the biggest and baddest of any available choice, Indian dream depends on sustainability and savings, in short known as 'jugaad'.Indian public is largely averse to debt and overconsumption highlighted by the fact that Indians invented the sachet form of packaging which is not as popular in the USA. Indians do not like the credit card as much as the Americans do.USA's infrastructure is getting older and outdated, it is becoming cumbersome to maintain and there is no incentive to modernize it in accordance with the latest Japanese and European technology as well.Whereas India's in infrastructure of going to be brand new, technologies used shall be to of the class, and largely sustainable. Many of Indian metros are better and more efficient than those operating in Europe.American form of capitalism doesn't suit the east properly, that is why Japan has recently seen decline whereas China is rising. Capitalism here has to be tempered with socialism, communism and what not.Some features like high medical expenditure and socio-economic inequality is inescapable in India but this is to be expected in a country having this kind of population. Some significant section of society is bound to be ignored in the race to modernisation.Large section of Indian society (read youth) is connected to their families to a large extent in contrast with the general decline of family values in the West. This will be carried forward like inertia in the next fifty years as well.I believe the newer cities in India will not be designed like American cities, with focus being on the regional identity. Skyscrapers may remain rare in the newer cities under planning.Lastly the USA is not the only gold standard of development and quality of living. We Indians have entirely different notions about being a developed country. These notions will be built upon and such a country will be truly an Indian story.
What will America look like in 50 years?
I won’t go into details but the pace at which China is moving and its increasing ties with Russia, we all know about the Silk Road and Russia’s increasing interest in the CPEC which is basically Chinese investment in Pakistan and a great opportunity for Russia to get access to the Arabian Sea, one of the reasons why Russia the then Soviet Union initially entered into Afghanistan and a reason why Pakistan retaliated with its full force and backing from CIA.Time is not far when we will see the power shift, China is a rising economy and it has already risen too high to become a problem for America. We all know from the past human history, one nation has never ruled for forever. Rulers have been replaced by new rulers and same formula will we see in action once China takes off. To become the next Super power and to truly replace America, China needs to overcome America in every single field. The intentions are clear and China’s solo endeavor of establishing a Space Station is one of the reasons why I am saying this (The current International Space Station is a joint project of America, Russia, EU, Japan and Canada). In order to achieve its goals, China will make sure that America doesn’t come in its way and for that it is very necessary and in accordance with the basic human psyche that America doesn’t remain a problem at all. The kind of leaders the Americans have started to choose (talking about Donald Trump), America is going toward its downfall.The future of America according to me, is very dark. And 30 years from now, it will be a broken economy and a failed military.Note: This is my personal opinion based upon my understanding and knowledge. You may agree or disagree.
What will Western Europe look like in 50 years?
Hopefully in peace. Even if the EU falls apart the western countries have really put their past behind them. French and German love each other. Nobody can tell that they were once at each other’s throats.They will all work on sustainable energy, better environment etc. The countries will simply get more developed in every sense of the word. But they will also extend their foreign influence.As to their physical look I presume nothing much will change. Western Europe refuses to build american-style skyscrapers and modern architecture. But the tendency to build a modern side of a city and isolated it from the old will highly happen.
Which coutury will be the strongest in 50 years ?
Red Sox Nation!!!
What will America be like in 50 years if it stays on the same course?
No country "stays on the same course" for 50 years. Nations constantly adjust. Let's put it this way -- at the very worse (which I don't think will happen) -- if the USA does what Greece did, then we go bankrupt. Did Greece just disappear? No. Greece is in a shitty spot, but Greece will find a way through the mess. If Russia could come through the Soviet era and remain viable and relevant; if Britain could come through the Napoleonic wars and World War II (which bankrupted her) and remain a global player, then you can all breathe a sigh of relief and know that the USA won't just disappear. We cannot predict where we'll be in 50 years. That's a LOT of time for new technologies and new disasters. The USA is sitting on massive natural resources and an enormous breadbasket. These two factors all but ensure that the US will remain a global player. Moreover, the USA isn't just slowing down in creating innovative technologies and our population is growing at a healthy clip.No doubt, there will be good and bad times in the next fifty. But the US is already starting to change the "debt" course. If you look at the numbers, our deficit per capita is shrinking every year. Human rights are still being expanded. We're in a transition phase (well, we always are, but we're in a big one right now); and it's painful. This isn't the end of the USA much less the end of the world.
What will American politics look like in 50 years?
What they will be, I have no idea. I also won’t live long enough to find out.I do think, though, whatever they are, they will be very different from the progressive governing paradigm we now use. I think this because I believe we are changing that paradigm— that’s what all the gridlock and opposition is all about— and whatever may come, it will be different than what we now have.
What do you think America will look like 50 years from now?
50 years ago we thought we would have passenger service to orbit and the moon by now. Flying cars. No pollution. No wars or diseases. Poverty a thing of the past. Robot servants. An African-American president. Oh, wait..So predictions like this are pretty chancy. What actually progressed turned out to be quite a bit different than what was projected but in many ways much more amazing.With that in mind I see a couple of technologically driven changes that most certainly will be seen:Self-driving electric cars will have completely replaced our existing personal transportation model and culture. Conversely, the amount of personal daily travel will on average be reduced from present levels. Telecommuting will become much more universally accepted and group workspaces for business will be reduced. It is possible education will go this way as well with most education happening at home with classes held more for social benefit than lectures.Production of goods will be dramatically different due to the evolution of personal automated systems like 3D printers. Today they are pretty amazing yet still crude compared to what they will be. The economic model where we use low-wage overseas populations to make daily products (consumer goods, toys, etc) will be gone.Cell phones and smart phones will be replaced by implants.There are a few things I think you won't see:Cold fusion.End of economic stratification.The banning of JavaScript.That's my short list.
