I often wonder if people born now or recently will see the same amount of changes as people who are 100 or more now have seen in their lifetime.

When you realise that 100 years ago people were still riding horses. Outside loos. Most had no mains water. No electricity or gas but coal or log fires for heat. Little in the way of health care etc.

There has certainly never been a century like this before. Will there even be another like it?

I study history and I would argue any 100 year period, to a greater or lesser degree, sees massive innovation.

There are, of course, periods where innovation slowed but generally its alway a forward movement.

People in a hundred years from now will probably look back and think not much happened in our period in much the same way as we look back to the previous 100 year which actually was the age of the Victorian Empire and the Industrial Revolution.

Sorry youve got my nerd coming out!

Well sadly if global warming Carries on the rate it’s going . Still the global greed of fossil fuel & all the wild weather because of it . Reckon there will be a global cataclysm before the powers that be finally realise . Miserable to think like this but greed of the big corporations of oil gas etc have held us back too long . We really should be more advanced by now already

I’m thankful I haven’t got kids as I’d hate to think ever this country will be like in the next 10 years never mind the next 100 years. Even the thought of getting old isn’t something I see myself doing I’ll be making sure I check out way before that……

There are goingto be huge changes as introduction of AI kicks in.It will affect everything that we know.

We are learning so much now about The universe and the laws that govern it

We hopefully will move from fossil fuels and pollution, unfortunately the growing power of China and India and their consumption of fossil fuels may well scupper that .

My own view is unfortunately that the human race will grow and poison the earth, use up its resources and nations will compete through war for those dwindling resources.

I fortunately will not be here but my children will

We only have to look at the flooding issues in our more benign country in last 15 years or so & getting worse . Let alone the more dramatic weather south of the equator. The sad thing about the power of the fossil fuel industry is they control the narrative not our governments & so called free press. No this is not a conspiracy I’m concocting.

Non of us will ever know

I'm sure people in 1924 thought the same, people in 1824 thought the same. We always think we're special but we aren't, progress happens

What an uplifting thread!

The world has had many cycles; this is but one of a - relatively short time period- of many past and indeed the future.

We are mere specs on that journey, so what is the worry?

The percentage of people who had a car 100 years ago is probably similar to the people who attend private schools.

Just because we all now have clean toilets doesn't make us equal

What Reeves has done in this budget is trying and claw a bit of wealth back into the treasury

In 100 years time I personally will likely be brown bread. Won't be around to see sny of it. But it probably be the same. Global politicians still bickering over trivial matters. Their be a conflict going on some where in the world. We might just be starting to colonise Mars. Oh and ant and Dec will still be clogging up the t.v shows

I still think since the existence of humanity the relatively short period of the last 100 years has seen huge advances in tech knowledge and the mind boggles where it will lead in the next 100. What with an over populated planet and the seat of true power being the energy suppliers I can't help but think nature will bite back causing a major reset involving a period of depopulation. Long after I'm gone but what about our kids or grandkids?

The opposite, when you realise how many fewer people now live in poverty than before, thanks to education, healthcare and economic development.

In big handfuls humanity took circa 2000 years to cycle through early subsistence farming, awareness of the world it lives on, medieval society and to enter the industrial age. Since then man has fundamentally developed at an ever increasing pace and in the last circa 300 years has created the world of today. Now and well into the next phase the information revolution frankly visioning 100 years into the future is far too long a timeframe to consider. Technology and innovation are already so advanced man is wrestling with dilemmas never experienced or considered previously, A.I as an example. So suggest you reset your timeframe to maximum of 10 years, and if the planet and society manages to navigate them successfully you may then just be able to think about the next 10 years…..and then only at a push.

100 years is not a long period of time for changes to a planet.

What is though is that 'man' has sadly used science against 'himself'. Thus Last 100 yrs

Nucelar weapons.

Population multiple by 6+ billion

Tech reliance.

land/climate chaos.

Hmmm changes in 100 years time ? ..well think damage already done.

Who can predict the future? Technology has progressed at a rapid rate in the last 20 or 30 years. 50 years ago things were very different to what they are now, especially in country areas. When I was trying to buy my first house, in 1977, I looked at one Victorian house that still had no electricity, bathroom or indoors loo. Doesn't seem so long ago that mobile phones and computers were rare.

The wait for football to come home will have continued with some 'close but no cigar' moments via penalty shootouts...

Futurology sadly consists of a consideration that there will be no end to war,cruelty and despair despite technological innovation.

Sorry youve got my nerd coming out!

I would disagree the rate of change has increased expanentialy since the agricultural revolution. If you look at society it change very little from the end of surfdom until at least the restoration.

My mother would have been 100 today Beethoven would have been 254 most of the change we see is since 1924 not 1770

Change goes on. I thought my grandads generation saw more progress than we would but progress happens, maybe not in such noticeably leaps but in different ways, now in less noticed technology rather than highly visible engineering as 100 years ago
