      Overpopulation. Already now it is the cause of most of the world’s problems, and it is getting worse very fast. We clearly must use all available technology to make sure that the Earth can support all the people, but that on its own is not enough unless the population growth can be stopped somehow.

      Yeah, I’m not sure how stable our pleasant little planet is. I’m worried about when 8 or 10 billion people all want 24/7 internet access and quick convenient transportation from anywhere to anywhere on the globe, whilst simultaneously keeping 3 or for electronic gadgets charged up.

      I absolutely agree with the others on this one, it really is a genuine concern

      I worry that democracy may not be robust in the face of globalisation.
