I vote for the first option.
World war II and the plague failed to destroy us so nothing can.
The global warming is more histery than reality so no major climate change will occur.
We will have to restrict our population growth one way or another and improve land fertility but we have the tools to do it even today.
Will our sons be happier than we are ? That's a good question. I hope they'll learn that having a lot does not mean more happiness.

Im sure life on this planet will be divided into two social differences, the very rich and powerful and the poor surfs.  For the poor surfs, I can see many local communities being overrun by gangs and lawless crime lords. While the rich elite keep the poor poorer by continuing to implement communist ideologies.  

As far as other planets are concerned, yes other planets.  I can see those new colonies breaking away from the motherland, i.e. earth, in rebellion.  Fighting for freedom.

If you had asked me in the late '70's if we'd still be around now, I wouldn't have thought so, and therefore I'm not entirely convinced that we are now.  I am also convinced that I won't be around then unless some maniac puts my head in a jar like Futurama.

I have no idea what will happen. But one thing is for sure: there will still be a f**king DFS sale on.

Then choose for the future! I bet you don't need to go as far ahead as 2800 Wink.

Important if you go back in time instead of forward.

You might want to take your own nails - those Roman ones could give you tetanus and that could kill you.

What if you go so far forward you go backward? Kind of like being so far out you're too far in.

Yeah, you're probably right. Videotaping Jesus would probably just piss off God anyway.

According to some hypothesis buy a sciency guy, you could never travel back to a time when the machine you're traveling in didn't exist. No past for u.

2800? Sure we'll be here, in a manner of speaking, though at the very least we won't be very much like we are now. We'll have survived a couple of apocalypses, seen climate change come and go, maybe nuclear winter in some areas, but that passes in time. It's very unlikely humanity will die out anytime soon even from nuclear war. 9As far as I can think the most deadly and fearful human extinction even there is is a genetically engineered virus that can attack and kill various populations of people. This, if not possible now, should be completely possible in less than 100 years). By 2800 we'd have recouped any losses, overcome human population problems with controlled breeding, food problems with effective land management (skyscraper farms etc), and have terraformed the f**k out of Mars to a point where millions or more people are living there. If humanity makes it that far, unless there's a HUGE backlash, we'll all be cybernetic and connected by some sort of wireless Internet system internally (think real-life first-person shooter HUBs and universal knowledge). I imagine there may not even be breeding per se unless there is also forced "retirement" (suicide/murder) after a certain age because in 800 years, we're certainly to have the technology to completely rebuild the human body (if maybe not the brain, completely), thus making us at least somewhat immortal.

Think about it, people. 800 years into the future at this rate of technological advance? To think we wouldn't have terraformed Mars, become cybernetic, and interconnected is not aiming too high.
