World War III

After 24 hours of thinking, I have concluded that after every age of technology/innovation will come a major war. Wars also occur when there is an extreme superpower that rises above everyone else very quickly. The probability also increases when the situation tension between neighbours of the superpower increase.

You might discredit me and say "hey, for the last 2000 years, only 2 have been called world wars"
NO!!! What about the Romans, the Mongolians and many great conquests? They are STILL world wars. it's because Globalisation was quite there yet when the world had these wars. Anyways, what would World War I be called if you realised it was still a bit of a regional campaign?

So, in the technology part, we can put in "Supercomputers and genetic-engineering and space exploration". In the superpower bit, we can put down "China" and "India".

And what do you get? World War III happening somewhere 80 years from now, when humans enter the space age. China & developing countries (Asia) v.s. NATO.

Maybe Battlefield 2142 is a bit more real than I'd thought...

What do you think? Comments please!
