Our Future in the 21st Century

The future of humanity is far more uncertain than the future of earth. Earth, being an inanimate object, can be predicted quite easily by the laws of the universe. With conscious and volatile beings like humans, attempting to predict exactly what will happen in their future is almost completely impossible. Though, of course being curious, wondrous human beings, we love to attempt at predicting that future. In this episode, we will delve into a few of the many possible futures we may have this century.
