Someone will dig up my body, and there will be a story on the news about 2000 year old weed...
Can you imagine the year 3000 or 5000 or even further?

only 4 years?
As much as I look at the current situation, and how America has been a wild train off it's tracks bouncing into things throughout every 10 year periods...I don't see it getting that crazy, people will settle for little before they really settle for 'nothing'....if riots started to happen, they would be pushed down, and people who want to keep living their 9to5 will hold up the social structures to be able to go the grocery store, to keep running water, electricity, heat, 'safety' with police if that even still exists in some peoples heads...we have millions of people living in counties that make up cities, where are they going to drink from the stream? 2 cents

google "time wave zero"..this is the only person that actually has some sort of viable information about the subject..it's the end of an 'age', a change in novelty will occur because it drops off to zero, a spot of time that we float in a section of space...mayans being real into their astronomy noted this on there calendars
I'm a bit amazed nobody suggested lots of flooding / natural phenomona in the next 10 years..

Not to worried about natural phenomona killing off the people. Even if mother nature should have done it long ago.......I think it all goes back to the "Human race". If we dont kill ourselfs and our earth we should see way past 2012. Just my .02 . I would like to see way less then 6 billion people on this rock. Just cant think of a good way to lower the number lol......I would love to hear some ideas on lowering the global population? Lets hear it.

There will be a Rebel Alliance, battling a evil Republic. Set in outer space. Wookies...
It's time to reset the calendar. The theory of numerology is interesting though as mentioned.

-massive overpopulation and decreased standards of living will give rise to global pandemics which will kill millions and millions
-continued dependence on carbon based fuels will bring about the worst consequences of greenhouse global warming. millions will be climate refugees. The landscape as you know it now will be changed.
- continued deforestation and depletion of natural resources in the 3rd world will only make matters worse. When were dealing with environmental issues, things that transpire in the congo of africa affects us here in the united states
like others have mentioned, we are naturally deselecting our own species. As we further trash the planet, pollute, and overpopulate, we can not expect to survive in the way we do now.
Also there might be asteroid impacts or nuclear war which would decimate our population.
While noone can be certain about the future, i would be absolutely shocked if our society and species survived another 500 years.

Global warming is a farce.

In some ways maybe it's counterproductive to imagine the future because it shifts the focus and power of the moment to a place that no one can affect. I wish more people realized the power of the moment and invested it with as much imagination and hope as they do the future. From a practical standpoint the future, whatever that future may be, is contingent upon our present actions. If current trends continue as they are we're on course for a disaster of global proportions that may manifest itself in any manner of horrific ways. We're nurturing what's worst in us and appealing to instincts that are self-destructive.
It's hard for me to think about the year 3000 or 5000 when 2009 is filled with such doubt.
Peace.

I honestly dont see anything good in the future. The huge,vast majority are really good for nothing. Ya they work day jobs, but that doesnt contribute to the well being of the race.
We need more farmers and teachers. We dont really NEED most of the trades today. Advertising, social workers, entertainment. None of this is needed to sustain life.
Too many people are useless and wouldnt be able to cope with life minus TV and A/C.

If we survive to the year 2100 I'm buying everybody on icmag a beer. However I highly doubt that we will.

True, true but what usually limits people are their imaginations and what does society really do to encourage those? There's alot of untapped potential out there that's gotten awfully used to the status quo, maybe it wouldn't hurt if we tried thinking outside of the box and started seriously challenging each other. No matter how bad things get as long as we're alive we have an opportunity to think about solutions.

Do we have enough time is the question. For so long humans have viewed themselves as more important than the world they came from thats why we abuse mother nature so badly. The truth is that the land owns us, all life forms come and go but the land is still here. So right now humans have to decide if we want our species to continue on or not. I think we got carried away by our technology and all the advancements that improved life in the short run but know we see that there isnt going to be a future based solely on technology. There wont be some space age future because in order for that to happen you have to change the whole frame work of life. We have all the ecological ideas but thats not enough we NEED an ecological IDENTITY. It all very complicated and everything is crashing together at once try and remain un-struggled in the struggling world.
