So as most of us are probably aware predicting the future is a very difficult business to be involved in unanticipated
Events can always change what we thought would happen
But we're still free to make our best educated guesses with the means that are available to us
With that in mind here are the events that will most likely happen before the year
2050 for you to look forward to happening starting out just next year in
2018 two new countries may emerge in the form of New Caledonia and
Bougainville in the Pacific as they hold independence referendums from France and Papua
New Guinea respectively the FIFA World Cup will be held in Russia and NASA will deploy the James Webb Space
Telescope which will be significantly more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope in
2019 the United Kingdom will officially leave the European Union and the FIFA Women's World Cup will be held in France
The next year in 2020 will probably be quite eventful the Jeddah tower in Saudi Arabia
Is scheduled to be completed which will become the new tallest structure in the world at a full
Kilometer tall the Summer Olympics will be held in Tokyo and Bigelow Aerospace
Plans on beginning construction of the first ever space hotel that will be able to accommodate six very wealthy guests at a time in
2021 India is expected to launch their first ever manned space mission and the following year in 2022
China plans on constructing their first very own Space Station in
addition the FIFA World Cup will be hosted once again in Qatar and the Winter Olympics will be hosted in Beijing China in
2023 the copyrights on the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons will expire under current US copyright law but
2024 will be much more eventful the company SpaceX ostensibly has plans on launching their first
rocket carrying cargo to Mars this year in preparation of a future manned mission at the same time the
International Space Station will probably run out of funding in this year and be decommissioned as a result although this may be delayed until
2028
Finally this year the Fenmarn Belt Fixed Link will be completed which will provide a direct rail and highway link between
northern Germany and Copenhagen in Denmark in
2025 the giant Magellan telescope is scheduled to be completed it will be the largest
Observatory in the world at this point and have ten times the resolution power of the Hubble Space
Telescope in addition the UK will have completely phased out all of their coal power plants the next year in
2026 will possibly see SpaceX launch the first-ever manned mission to Mars if everything goes according
to their current schedule NASA
Also has plans to send a manned mission to visit an asteroid this year and construction on the Catalan Cathedral
Sagrada família will also be finally completed construction on this epic church began all the way back in
1882 which means that it will have taken
144 years to finally complete it this year in
2027 ten years from the current year if you are watching this in
2017 the SpaceX crew that launched the year previously will finally arrive at their
Destination meaning that we might witness the first-ever humans to set foot on Mars this year
Also the full autopsy report on Elvis Presley
Which was agreed to be sealed for 50 years following his death will finally be made publicly available this year in
2028 the Summer Olympics will be hosted in Los Angeles
California at near the end of the decade in
2029 the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles will be connected by a high-speed
Rail line that can transport people from one to the other in just two hours and 20 minutes
But when the 2030s finally arrive
We'll all be in for a very interesting
Decade at some point this decade NASA plans on launching their own manned mission to Mars
So if SpaceX failed to accomplish this in 2027 then NASA will probably land the first humans on the Red Planet
Sometime around now China further has plans on launching their own manned mission to the moon
Sometime during this decade as well and Russia has plans on landing their own cosmonauts on the moon in the year 2031
skipping ahead to
2036 however and we arrived at perhaps the most ambitious upcoming space project called Breakthrough Starshot
Without going into too much
Details the plan should be able to send tiny spacecraft to the Alpha Centauri star system
The nearest other star to Earth a planet inside the system
Proxima Centauri B is located inside of the habitable zone here and could possibly be home to some form of alien life
When the tiny ships are hopefully launched in
2036 they will arrive in the system 20 to 30 years later and can take detailed photographs of this mysterious planet in
2037 we may see the first summer where there won't be any ice in the Arctic and by
2040 France will have completely banned the sale of all gasoline and diesel vehicles in the country in
2042 the world population will have probably reached 9 billion people
while Americans of European
Ancestry will become a minority group inside of the United States for the first time this year
We'll also probably see the advent of the world's first trillionaire as well and in 2044 the works of JRR
Tolkien including the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit will enter into the public domain
2045 is the estimated year of the technological singularity
According to the famed futurist Ray Kurzweil meaning that this may be the year where artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence
Which could lead to enormous and unforeseen changes in society in
2048 the Antarctic Treaty will come up for review which could lead to
mining and oil industries opening up on the continent for the first time and finally we will arrive at the year of
2050 by this point half of the Amazon rainforest will likely be deforested about
70% of the world population will be living in cities about half of the global population may not have access to clean drinking water
The average global life expectancy may be 76 years old there will be
Super-smart artificial intelligences that will be even smarter than humans
Self-driving cars will likely be normal and a new new world of possibly hundreds or even
Thousands of people will be living and working on Mars there are things to be both afraid of and excited for in the future
So let's make sure to work as hard as we can in the present to make our
future the best one that we can possibly imagine
So this number right here is how much these last few images would have cost if I had bought them from a traditional stock image
Provider, but thankfully I get my images and videos from story blocks with a story blocks membership
You can download and use as many images as you want from their enormous library of over
400,000 photos
Vectors icons and more since I started using story blocks for real life lore about two months ago
I've used 81 different images from their library and best of all once you download an image. It's yours forever
Even if you decide to end your membership without story blocks it would have cost me one thousand one hundred
Seventy-five dollars and fifty cents to have used all of these images, but with them. I've only spent
$99 so far there's truly no way that my videos would look as professional as they do without them
So whether you already have a youtube channel
Or you are looking to get started with a channel then story blocks will help you out tremendously with your production value
I can genuinely say that it's one of the best purchases that I've ever made since I started real life lore
And I've used images from story blocks in all of my videos ever since you can try out story blocks and download whatever
Images you want from their unlimited
library for seven free days using the link below or by clicking the link in the description
This is not a publicly available trial, so please go and check them out
Not only is this a great way to help support real life lore make more videos
But you'll also get to download incredible images for your next project entirely for free for seven days
