The world and human civilisation will end in 2040, as pollution and over-population choke the world...
That’s the fairly grim warning from a computer programme called 'World One' which was developed by MIT researchers.
Sounds alarming, right?
Well don't get too panicked... because this prediction was made well back in 1973, and while it may have made headlines at the time, the scary prediction has since remained buried for almost 50-years.
However, it's recently reemerged thanks to an article about the risk of an imminent apocalypse by the Australian Broadcasting Company.
The computer made it's dire prediction by analysing trends such as pollution levels, population growth and the depletion of natural resources. “At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical,'’ the report said.
'‘If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so seriously it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. ‘At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilised life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist.'’
Don't know about you... but we have all our fingers and toes crossed that this so called 'super computer' was just talking sh*te trying to impress it's mates... And in no way will it's predictions come true.
