The twentieth century has become a turning point for the fate of mankind: faith in immortality has shaken, and the desire to dominate nature threatens people with death, especially since the demographic indicator has broken all record marks. The likelihood of a wonderful future for humanity with the acquisition of a recipe for getting rid of most problems is decreasing every day, and modern achievements risk becoming a deadly weapon.
Combat vehicles
Robocops and Terminators are not only cult Hollywood characters, but also war machines that bring death and can replace people. The result of the "automation" of wars will invariably be massive losses among civilians and panic among those who survived, because drones and drones can make mistakes.
Total surveillance
In the future, mankind is threatened by spy mania. For special services, unmanned devices are not only a means of fighting terrorists (surveillance and destruction), but also a tool for monitoring civilians. Especially after the testimony of Edward Snowden.
It's easy to guess how the surveillance will turn out in the future, but today the development of drones of especially small dimensions (like a bee) is in full swing. The population will be under the round-the-clock control of such "bees" without even knowing it. Until the next information leak.

Oil resource
As you know, oil reserves on the planet are coming to an end, now the world is at the top of the production of "black gold". The use of hydrocarbons has a negative effect on the ecosystem, but for the ruling circles, the economic benefit in this case is more important than the ecological situation. Nobody is in a hurry to jump off the oil "needle". The resource will soon be exhausted and this process cannot be stopped, as well as its impact on the climate.
Climate threat
Due to the rapid changes in the weather, the future of humanity is threatened by a climatic apocalypse. Already today, the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has exceeded the permissible threshold, and the greenhouse effect is only increasing. As a result, glaciers are rapidly melting and sea levels are rising at a dangerous rate, posing a deadly threat to coastal populations. You can imagine what will happen if the World Ocean overflows its shores!
Diseases and germs
The fragile peace in the world can be disrupted by pandemics that will not only destroy part of the world's population, but also destroy the economy. Moreover, swine and bird flu is already a reality, and in the future, humanity may not be able to cope with new pandemics.
The deadly weapon will be microbes that have learned to develop resistance to antibiotics. Even if a "super tablet" is created, it will not become a panacea. microorganisms in the course of development will also be resistant to it, which will result in death for humanity.
The threat of extremism
Humanity of the future may face an epidemic of hatred that grips the world, infecting the population with extremist ideas. The number of rallies, demonstrations and protests is growing against the background of deteriorating living conditions of the population and infection with terrorist ideas, which threatens mass extermination of people.
Robotization
The introduction of automation will lead to the dominance of robots. After 2025, humanity will have full-fledged artificial intelligence, which will destroy the labor market, and people with sick leave, vacations and breaks will become unclaimed.
Hungry future of humanity
With a growing population, against the backdrop of a capricious climate and a weakening economy, a chronic shortage of food is inevitable due to the rise in food prices, which happened quite recently (2008) due to a jump in grain prices. It is difficult to cope with a hungry population, hunger pushes on protests and riots, leads to revolutions and terror, of which there are vivid examples in history.
Consumer civilization
The market constantly cultivates consumer attitudes in the minds of people. Today society is atomized and mainly consists of those who think only about their individual needs, and not about global problems in the common House - planet Earth. Mammon destroys everything that is sacred in a person, turning him into a selfish and predatory animal. Rampant consumption constantly spins the flywheel of the economy and progress, which in turn work even more for the “good” of man, mercilessly destroying everyone and everything on Earth.
Outcome
The result is one. With such "development", the future of humanity is seen as deplorable and disastrous. We ourselves dug our own grave, into which we are already falling and this fall is unlikely to stop.
