Maybe we are. They are very trigger-happy and love to destroy all resources. Anyway, if Palin ever gets elected, make it 2080, not 2800.

I'm thinking WALL-E.

Thanks to the global warning naysayers, we're probably going to have to be someplace else. The question is whether in 800 years we can develop technologies to travel and colonize other locations... 

Subtract a few years of human existence for every 4 that the GOP holds power in the US. (though, if that happens, we'll all be owned by 5 guys who will have so much power that actually will manage to flee the planet... therefore, sentient beings will remain... Now if I want to call them human I'm not sure... Wink )

Whether global climate change is true or not, the human race will have killed itself off in wars by then.

I voted for the second option. 
I think in the future the natural sources that are in reach will be gone and our world is ruined by war and conflict on the last natural sources that are in reach. 
To make things worse, we have spilled lots of money by several failed attempts to make life on Mars possible.
Also,  the financial crisis will never end and global warning will still be a point of discussion.

Damn, I meant to say toasted... Anyway, I think temp levels will be much higher than today (and not only from man-made global warming) so I guess life will be very hard, or even impossible

How do you define "pretty"? I don't see any reason for us to collapse significantly. Cities have existed for 10,000 years, I don't see why they won't last another 800.

One show provides all the evidence:  Futurama.  They showed civilization dying off several times between now and the year 3000, so I'm going to say Yes, but it won't be pretty.

Life will become a cliched apocalyptic movie. Not pretty at all.

I'm tempted to say "It won't be pretty 'cause I'll be dead by then."

For fun.  See question and choose the closest to your prediction.  Feel free to say what you think will be the state of us in 800 years.  If we're here what will be different?  If we're not, why?
