How will the world be in 2300?
The United Nations forecasts that by 2300 the global population will be just under 9 billion. World population is expected to rise, peak and then decline slightly between 2050 and 2300. The highest long term population growth is predicted for Africa.
What will the world look like in 2050?
“So a 50\% reduction by 2030, another 50\% by 2040, another 50\% by 2050,” Rivett-Carnac says. If that happens, the world in 2050 will be very different. “If we can decarbonize our economy rapidly down to near zero by mid-century, we can maintain a livable planet and a vibrant economy at the same time,” says Mann.

How will virtual reality change the world in the 23rd century?
By 2150, perfect simulations can be generated in room-sized environments without any requirement for on-person hardware. As virtual reality advances still further, entire worlds are constructed using the smallest quantum units for building blocks. This opens up some profound opportunities in the 23rd century.
