99% of the species of living things that have ever lived on Earth have been erased from her face without a trace. The same fate can befall people, because there are top-7 real threats to humanity, in which today many refuse to believe.
1) Nanotechnology - in the 21st century, it can become a revolutionary science that will greatly simplify people's lives. But there will also be those who want to use its capabilities to create diseases or terrible weapons, unknown now.
2) Artificial Intelligence - Stephen Hawking believes that in the next 100 years, computers will surpass human intelligence. If we start using the knowledge of machines, where it is more reasonable to rely on humans, then disasters cannot be avoided. For example, unmanned vehicles that have already been in accidents, fortunately, without casualties.
3) Robotics - today there are already humanoid robots that execute a number of specific commands. In the future, they will be able to become indispensable in production or help people with disabilities. But when the machine realizes that it has surpassed the person and that it is in the capacity of a slave, then an uprising can occur in which the person will win with a small degree of probability.
4) Global pandemic - nature can no longer create a disease that can kill millions of people, but the latter are capable of such discoveries. Cities will allow new viruses to spread widely, and known drugs may be useless. It is known that biological weapons are much cheaper and more effective than missiles and bombs.
5) Nuclear Holocaust - Nine countries in the world have nuclear weapons. Its explosion burns everything around it, and enters the atmosphere in the form of soot and smoke, which do not let the sun's rays through.

6) Depletion of resources - when oil reserves are at a low level, stronger states will begin to take "black gold" from the weaker ones. As a result, wars and economic and social problems can break out.
7) Geomagnetic storms - it is almost impossible to predict their appearance. During the year, storms on the Sun occur about a hundred times, and the strongest - superstorms - can disable all electrical devices on the planet.
