Some fool will probably have used an atomic device to wipe out half the world... the rest of us will probably be bitching about the remaining resources or slowly dying of radiation poisoning. We'll use our hooverboards to beat each others skulls in...

Or it could be that we start to explore the space more and more and the government system in the entire world will rebuild itself in a new, much better way... Hopefully.

Yeah but what would be the point of making them hover, I'm sure it would just cost extra money to make it hover, when it doesn't need to hover.


Hover is such a cool word. Say it hover. Cool. LOL

are you always complaining?

Are you always taking that offensive?
So what is your opinion of the future?

I don't find it offensive, just whiny

I live my life day by day and only plan my own future as much as I have that under control. Life will go on the way it has been going on for thousands of years. Markets will continue to rise and fall and our planet shall continue its cycle around the sun.

Yeah and in the year 2000 we where all supposed to live in space :D

seriously, I don't think a lot will change. Probably the processors are faster. Games look better. Cars are better. etc

But i don't expect dramatic changes. Don't forget all those nifty things to research cost shitloads of money while they won't be needed that much.

However, they always seem to have enough money to create a new bomb or fighterplane :whistle:

In c.a. 1954, some guys predicted what a computer might look like in 2004.

Here is their result (image)

LOL

I remember I read an extract from an enginneering magazine from the 40s, it saif that right now (ie, in the 40s) calculators weigh 10 tons and have 10,000 vacuum tubes, but in the future they may have as few as 1,500 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1.5 tons LOL
