2052 is the new 2012

Are you a "tech-y" person, a person who loves technology so much? Do you know the latest trends in the world of technology?
Well, if I were to answer those questions, my answer for the first question would be...no, not really. I mean, yes...I can't deny the fact that the birth of technology is a lot of help but I am not that engrossed in the products of technology.
Thus, I don't know that much of the new versions of gadgets or the new gadgets out in the market.

But what surprise me most is this invention of MIT, called World3, predicted a major collapse of civilization. Based on a number of factors from climate change to overusing our resources, the findings revealed that the planetary stress placed on our planet was so strong that there was no way to undo what had been started unless drastic changes were made. It is actually debated by some experts.
Now, some of the original modelers from the World3 project are plugging new scenarios into a similar simulation explored in a new book 2052: A Global Forecast for the Next 40 Years. While the various possibilities differ in many ways, the ultimate outcome is the same… and it seems unavoidable.
Moreover, even the updated World3 computer model is saying the same thing it was saying back in the 70s:  we are on a fast-track to the total collapse of civilization but this time there’s no way to stop it because the “sustainable pathways” the original simulation foresaw are no longer available to us. In effect, we have gone too far. This new model is predicting that once the population peaks at 8-9 billion, it will crash rapidly down taking much of civilization-as-we-know-it with it, heralding the arrival of its newest apocalyptic scenario on or around 2052.

Looks like another prediction was build again not from the Mayan calendar but from a "tech-y" thing like World3.
