There will always be wars, though. It's human nature to blow the crap out of the guy we don't like. We have killed each other for thousands of years and we will continue to do that until a bigger enemy appears or we all nuke each other.

New energy sources and nanotechnology are very plausible though.

A lot more people, or less, but almost definitely not the exact same amount, almost definitely.

Most (if not all) computers will be way more intelligent than a human. Not only that but they will have figured out how to provide analogue computing methods as well as digital.. I mean, our synapses are way slower than electrons in a chip, but, we have countless numbers of them going on at once while a chip is dealing with everything one bit at a time.

Once you combine our brains' analogue power + the speed of a chip.. shit will get unbelievable. Machines will be able to postulate and conduct scientific experiments way faster and more accurately than humans do today. In fact machines will pretty much run everything we want by then.. people will start to wonder though, what is the point of organic humans when our machines are just fucking better at everything? Real cyberization would probably start to hit the masses by this point; people whose consciousness (or at least copies of it) are embedded in the Internet (or whatever it evolves into), into machine carrier-bodies etc.

the empathic bubble of societies' consciousness expands as technology, specifically communications, shrinks time and space

when is the last time your local municipality declared war on the next town over? yeah, thats what i thought.

we might fight alien species in the future, but once we solve energy and manufacturing (nanotechnology) there isn't much left to fight over.

and remember, as our technology grows more powerful, the consequences of war become heavier and more serious to consider. it isn't a direct drive to fight, we also take flight. if the weapons/technology of destruction are powerful enough, flighting farther and farther becomes a more reasonable proposition.

for some reason we don't have enough land space on earth? if technology is powerful enough, flighting to another planet or something like a space tube colony become a reasonable alternative. and this isn't even taking in the new third option cooperate/assimilate

instead of cell phones people will just sit in bed all day, telecommuting their fat asses while a few dorks spoon feed them syrup covered tomatoes, enriched and fortified with 400 newly discovered elements. Also the lame ass mole concept is gone, instead replaced with a flamingo, which is 19g of fluorine at at 7:19pm.

Cause fluorine is one badass motherfucker that doesnt take shit from anyone, except 30 of the new elements, which have a pauling scale of over 4 billion. They will oxidize your brain if you even think about them

Do you realize just how many asteroids are out there?

Also, the elements for sustaining carbon lifeform processes are NOT out there to support the same scale in biological growth.

You do realize that there are some asteroids out there with estimated worth in the trillions, composed mostly of nickel, iron etc? Just waiting for someone to come mine them or tow them off?

Not only that but in the vastness of space, once space travel becomes something more accessible to the public then you can sure as hell bet that eventually there will be space pirates/raiders out there jacking the better asteroids, with governments from Earth and/or mining coalition militias trying to fend them off.

This kind of thing would happen once it became easy for the public to travel past Mars and back reliably, and we are like 20+ years from even being able to set foot on the red planet. So within 100 years depending on space tech advancement, it might still be mostly government or private-corporation run. Once the public can get into space is when things could start getting nutty. In a few hundred years you might see larger colonies declaring independence from Earth;s government etc. Yes, just like Zeon. It's practically inevitable that Earth government will lose its grip on colonies that are practically self-sufficient and able to profit/function much more if they weren't tied down by Earth politics. Only, I don't think they'll use mobile suits to fight off the Earth militaries.
