YugoRocketsFan Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The adults who grew up as kids 30 years ago are a LOT different than today's kids and teenagers. Teenagers use a LOT more technology, we have ipods, hdtvs, etc, different idealogies, more support for marijuana, etc. Will the world be a LOT differen't 30 years from now? Yes or no.

Flash Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yes and hopefully for the better. Hopefully relations between countries will be improved and the quality of life will be better as well but I'm not counting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm pretty sure it will be totally different... maybe not as much as it did in the past 30 years but I'm sure technology and life will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 When we're old we'll be fairly good with technology, but I'm sure new and even more higher tech [expletive] will be around. It's pretty crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty crazy. Technology? Obviously, we have new technology everyday. Im talking about the world as a whole, will life be different? Will life expectancy go up? Will irreligion be a majority in some countries? Will marijuana be legalized? I could go on but these are some questions that spawn up.

JYD Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yes, marijuana will be legalized within the next 30 years. As far as anything else, I can't really predict. Who the [expletive] knows man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNextBestThing Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 The world is not a LOT different than it was a thousand years ago. Just because you have an ipod and smoke pot does not make you smarter than people from years past. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you have an ipod and smoke pot does not make you smarter than people from years past. Sorry.You kidding me? We've advanced as human's in several ways. One huge example is through Science and Medicine. We can cure or have vaccines for many deadly diseases in years past, so yeah, we are smarter now than back then.

trutrojan8 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 We are smarter, 1000 years ago, we believed the Earth was flat, lol.But we still have religion, so in some aspects he's right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtTheDriveIn Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 We are smarter, 1000 years ago, we believed the Earth was flat, lol. Well first of 'we' didn't believe anything because 'we' were still one thousand years away from being alive. Second of all, the world didn't believe the Earth was flat, in fact after there was a lot of optimism in that field at about 400-300BCE with Aristotle noting how the stars set, and putting forth his theory of a spherical Earth. Of course, the year is 300BCE so the message got across to roughly eight people at the time within his own family. Then there was another ancient Greek, I've forgotten his name, who figured out in 200 or so BCE that in order for the Earth to be flat, the sun's rays would have to be parallel to the Earth, which they weren't. There were many mathematician, scientists and the like coming out with these claims until the first century BCE. Then there was the whole Church controversy with the Roman Catholics silencing anyone who didn't believe in St. Augustine's view of antipodes, citing religious theories dating back to Adam to prove his point. Then there was nothing until Copernicus and Gallileo in the 1400-1600s and even then, this was still a very new subject. The different between us now and them was that this was groundbreaking stuff they had to really work toward, now we can Google search the circumference of the globe in less than a .14 seconds (that's how long it took my computer, apparently). But if you ask someone to actually figure it out without a computer now, I'm betting aside from obvious professional, many of us wouldn't know how and where to start. So just because some people believed the world was flat, doesn't mean they weren't smart. The works of Aristotle and the Greeks, of the Early Middle Age philosophers was highly thoughtful and quite solid material. I don't think there are many nowadays who can match that sort of intellect in context to the age they live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus: If someone has no idea how a cell phone works (I don't mean how to use it; I mean how it works), can he really use it to support his claim of people being more intelligent?
