The U.N. estimates that the world population as a whole will peak around 2100 at 11 billion as the last developing countries develop. Then it will start going down. So if current trends continue around the world there would likely be 0 people left by the year 3000.

In the next 1,000 years, the amount of languages spoken on the planet are set to seriously diminish, and all that extra heat and UV radiation could see darker skin become an evolutionary advantage. And we're all set to get a whole lot taller and thinner, if we want to survive, that is.

This is an invitation to engage in shaping a better world for generations to come. Technological Integration: By 2050, technology will likely be seamlessly integrated into everyday life. Augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence will be commonplace, transforming how we work, learn, and interact.

The results are bleak: the supercomputer says 10 percent of all plant and animal species will disappear by 2050, and 27 percent of vertebrate diversity will vanish by 2100. Yeah, that's over a quarter of our animals gone in about 75 years.
