7. Pandemics – Any Day



Diseases can pop up from nowhere and spread very quickly, so who is to say that tomorrow wont be that day?. Within densly populated cities the potential for a disease to spread is high. This coupled with the fact that over recent years we have started to develop a resitstance to anti-biotics which would normally be able to fight certain diseases, it doesn’t make for such a bright future. Scientists recently developed a strain of Spanish Flu in a lab which killed an estimated 50 million people in 1918. Who knows what could happen if it were to escape the lab.

8. Degenerating DNA – 6,000 Years



DNA is the blueprint for all human life. So when that blueprint starts to falter it causes a lot of problems. We go extinct. This process is actually happening right now. Our bodies have becomes significantly weaker and more prone disease, and we have become increasingly reliant on medical technology to keep us in good health and alive. We are currently carrying a lot of genetic mutations in our DNA, and every generation we create more. Sadly these mutations wont give you the ability to climb walls like Spiderman, they will just give you negative side effects such as being more prone to disease.

9. Nanotechnology – 10-500 Years



Nanotechnology might be the next biggest thing in modern medicine. On the flip side however, it could result in humanities downfall. If, like the artificial intelligence, the nanotechnology decides to rid the world of the human race they could destroy us from the inside. Would you want these little guys floating around inside you? hmmm didn’t think so.

10. Overpopulation – 100 Years



It is widely agreed that this is probably one of our biggest problems. Overpopulation may cause the extinction of humanity within the next 100 years. An overpopulated world could be seen as the leading cause for many of the problems mentioned above. With so many people living on earth, the worlds resources become even more strained. Conflict could arise over food, water and land in the future.

If, like us, you are scared for the future of the human race then share this article with friends. Perhaps if enough people see this we could help avoid some of these doomsday scenarios.
