According to some futurologists, computers will be able to download the brain content of people in 50 years.
I always thought that a commodore 64 would be good enough for mine

Just three ideas from me:
1- This poll is nonsense, since the very first choice is not a matter of opinion but a fact!!!
2- James, I might be wrong, but my idea is that hydrogen can never be the future: it can be as a method for storing energy and using it on mobile things (cars, plains...) but you have to produce it before... where from? I hate what I'm about to say, but the only future to us is nuclear energy... Solar, wind, whatever, can help but will never produce as much as we'll need.
3- I like Judas Priest!!! I mean, their music, I'll never sleep with any of them!!!

Once nuclear fusion (instead of fission) will be achievable on a wide scale , an athmosphere and ocean will be created , the gravity will rise from 0.7 to 0.9. The rich will move to Mars because this planet will have become so polluted (thanks to W and his oil buddies) , that only the lesser (loosers) will get stuck on this eternal dump.
Can you believe some assholes are selling Mars real estates as of now?

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between the human and the machine. All body parts will be replaceable. A computer will function like the human brain with the ability to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way. They can then produce fake people.We will then be able to create a machine duplicate of ourselves so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. Maybe a few decades later, a way will be found to transfer our spirit to the new body. Then we can choose to live for as long as we want. It might be expensive. Maybe it will cost you an arm and a leg. (Note: here's another change. We will have to change the language we use. By then, arms and legs will be a pound a dozen.) (Note: by then, pounds will probably be obsolete, and we won't have any idea what the word dozen means.) |

As Zager & Evans asked in the early 70's:
'In the year 2525 will mankind still be alive?'.

I'm surprised by how many think there will be a spiritual end to the world. I mean I know we have some religious people among us, but come on, the second coming? I didn't realize jehovah's witnesses were prog fans. Oh and I voted that my cat's breath smells like cat food. But really I see no change for the foreseeable future.
