MIT Computer Model Predicts Dramatic Drop In Quality Of Life Around 2020 And The \u201cEnd Of Civilization\u201d Around 2040<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/a>Is humanity approaching a major turning point?\u00a0 A computer model that was originally developed in 1973 by a group of scientists at MIT is warning that things are about to dramatically change.\u00a0 If the computer predictions are accurate, our standard of living will start to decline dramatically around the year 2020, and we will witness the \u201cend of civilization\u201d around the year 2040.\u00a0 Of course this is not the first time ominous predictions such as this have been made about our future.\u00a0 For years, experts have been warning that we are heading for severe shortages of water, food and oil<\/a> as our limited natural resources begin to run out.\u00a0 For years, experts have been warning that our economic model is not sustainable and that we are heading for a historic collapse.\u00a0 For years, experts have been warning about the alarming increase in seismic activity all over the planet and about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.\u00a0 Society is crumbling all around us, and the elements for a \u201cperfect storm\u201d are definitely coming together.<\/p>\n

So maybe this computer model is on to something.<\/p>\n

The name of the computer program is \u201cWorld One\u201d, and it was originally created by Jay Forrester<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The prediction came from a programme nicknamed World One, which was developed by a team of MIT researchers and processed by Australia\u2019s largest computer.<\/p>\n

It was originally devised by computer pioneer Jay Forrester, after he was tasked by the Club of Rome to develop a model of global sustainability.<\/p>\n

However, the shocking result of the computer calculations showed that the level of pollution and population would cause a global collapse by 2040.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
