What Will The World Be Like In 50 Years? by Boland(m): 9:34pm On Jul 21, 2014
In our world of both exponential growth and accelerating innovation, systems of repetition are “doomed to collapse.” We need to make radical changes to the frameworks in which we operate.
The world is now an interconnected neural network, where problems are considered shared and where solutions are crowdsourced—we’re no longer living in silos.

This power of connection has begun—and will continue—to reveal what we are capable of. We must work together to redefine what “growth” and “development”.

What will the world look like in 50 years?
Dare to imagine......

The Skoll World Forum reconvened for
another year across Oxford’s cobbled
streets. During the opening plenary, Jeff Skoll, founder and chairman of the Skoll Foundation, Participant Media and the Skoll Global Threats Fund, identified 10 key achievements in social entrepreneurship over the past 10 years—achievements that are a testament to the world’s growing
community of changemakers.

10) Technology drives social, and social drives technology. Skoll cited the increase in mobile phone ownership as having implications on society and the ways in which we design solutions to challenges.

9) We now have global government
commitments to scaling up social
innovation , particularly from leadership in the U.K., Canada and the U.S.

8] Muhammad Yunus (Global Academy
Member) and Grameen Bank were
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to create economic and social development from below.”
Re: What Will The World Be Like In 50 Years? by Boland(m): 9:44pm On Jul 21, 2014
7) Al Gore, Jr. and the IPCC were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.”

6) Deforestation rates are on the decline. Brazil, which was responsible for a third of the world’s carbon emissions, has reduced these by two billion tons—the single greatest reduction in carbon emissions in history.
Re: What Will The World Be Like In 50 Years? by Boland(m): 9:48pm On Jul 21, 2014
5) Billions of people now have access to clean water. “The 2015 goal to halve the number of people without access to safe drinking water had been met in 2010, five years ahead of schedule,” said Skoll.

4) Social Entrepreneurship has turned
mainstream! There are now 40 million
people with careers in social
entrepreneurship, with more than 200
million volunteers lending a helping hand.
Contrast this to 10 years ago, Skoll said, when the leaders of the social entrepreneur movement were “rogue disruptors.” (For more on the evolution of social entrepreneurship over the years, catch Bill Drayton’s conversation with Tim West from Pioneers Post .)

3) Global markets are steadily shifting
towards sustainability. The future of
business is social. Lourenço Bustani, one of Fast Company’s 100 most creative people in business, has said that “ the tipping point was reached in 2012.”
Re: What Will The World Be Like In 50 Years? by Boland(m): 9:51pm On Jul 21, 2014
2) We have made significant progress
against significant killers. Eight million lives had been saved from HIV and AIDS, parasitic guinea worm disease is set to follow smallpox as the next disease to be completely eradicated, and polio is in line to disappear after that.

1) Fewer people are living in poverty than ever before. Skoll says the “disappearance of poverty is tantalizingly close” with the possibility that we could bring extreme poverty to virtually zero in the next generation. For the first time since poverty rates have been monitored, rates are falling in every region.

What do you think the world will be like in 50 years, feel free to add yours.......

But it gives cause for concern. The level of moral decadence, social and violent crime, uprising and killings, increased in government backed antihuman policies such as the LGBT are cases where one doesn't actually can ascertain or predict.

May the Almighty save us.

Nigeria was the country with the highest endemicity for dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease) in the world at the beginning of the global eradication program. The infection was recognized as a specific malady during the Atlantic slave trade (1501-1888) and was confirmed for the first time

This world will hardly reach another 15yrs. Isis and bokoharam are setting the stage for a religious 3rd world war. Which will usher in the antichrist. Who will put an end to all religions. The cashless society is coming up, and one world currency after the ecowas currency is formed in 2020.

If I may borrow a leaf from GEJ, Patrick Sawyer of Seria Leone who brought Ebola to Nigeria was a terrorist.
The current economic crunch on Nigeria and other 3rd world countries are also firms of terrorism.
You may add to the list.
