In the later half of the twentieth century, the civilization of the human beings has been elevated much supported by the large amount of energy consumption. Energy is the source of negative entropy. Negative entropy leads the human beings to the paradise full of happiness. Information decreases entropy of the society, too. To create information, however, electric power (energy) must be supplied to the computer. Without energy consumption, no information is created. Among energies consumed in advanced countries, oil occupies 50%. Oil supports the present civilization of the human beings. The time duration when the oil can be mined is 40 years. After the end of oil consumption in 2035, can the humas beings return back to primitive lives without fossil energy ? The answer is no. The population in the world before the industrial revolution was 500 million. Now the population is approaching 6 billion. Primitive agriculture cannot feed this great many number of people. The human beings in the prosperous society will collapse in 2035 with the end of oil consumption.
