#2 The World 100 Years from Now I don’t believe the world will necessarily be a better place 100 years from now. Some people think about flying cars, fast trains and bright dominant colors in crowded yet disciplined high-tech cities. I say let’s be more realistic. As the world is leading its way through time, a lot of changes are taking place. We are already facing energy crisis and unless we find other energy sources as sustainable as fossil fuels, we’re doomed. In addition, the growing population requires taking specific measures. There should be enough food and water for everyone as well as a decent place to live. People have to live in small suffocating rooms and eat mostly genetically modified food products rather than organic ones. In this case we face many health issues and maybe new diseases. I can’t help but think that the majority of people will live like robots. There will be much less interactions with wild life and environment that sooth the soul and give it the peace of mind it deserves. Humans will turn into one-dimensional beings whom not only work and think in just one way to benefit companies in need of labor force, but also are incapable of expressing genuine feelings; such as love. Moreover, global warming and environmental issues are also alerting. The way we treat Earth today will leave us without any resources in the future. By wiping out forests and polluting the oceans, many animals and plants will be extinct in 100 years from now which causes serious damage to the life cycle on Earth. In conclusion, unless we manage to find another planet worthy of living or change our life style and behavior towards Earth at the present, I don’t really suppose the world to be a better place to live in 100 years from now. p.s. Can you please tell me if it's correct to use #2 in the title? I just want to keep track of my notes. Is this a common way to use "#" ?

#2 doesn't tell us anything. However, you wrote an excellent title that any reader would be interested in reading. If you need to enumerate your work, put the #2 after your title. That way, there is nothing distracting your readers and at the same time, you included the additional information for yourself. In any case, a lot of people on this platform would like to be able to write the way you do.

You can use #2 to give a number to the titles of your notes, but it would be more clear if you put a colon after it, like #2: The World 100 Years from Now The colon shows that it is just a number and not part of the title
