Ok, last time I tried one of these, I sounded like a shithead. So I'll try and think about how I write something before I do write it, cause allot of people got the wrong message from my other topic. Anyway.
Anyone ever wonder what the world of the future might be like? What kind of language people would be speaking...wether or not cars will continue to exist, and if so, for how long? Well, whatever it is that you believe will happen in the future, please go right on ahead and post it here. Please be sure to provide reasons for you statement.
As for my opinion...(Since we obviously need a starting one)
I believe the future will be an information age, with atleast one computerized or electronic object or item in every home. I think cars will switch to fuel cells, I think the industry will revolutionize its production spree by being able to tell exactly what a person wants, and also when they want it, and never have to waste materials building excess products for when they would later become out of date. I also believe that the governemt will have to rewrite or write new amendments(U.S. only, dunno about other countries, but probably similar) to cope with increases in interent related crimes and theft of patented software. I believe that the world will change to revolve around what it already focuses on: Computers and Electronics. But thats just for the near future.
Ok, so thats what I think.

Well what I think the world should do, technologically speaking, in the future, is spend time researching how there would be a way to harmonize the feilds of computer technology and biology. Each of these areas of science has it's own different aspects of genius. If we were able to compile together rescources of both areas it would result in something greater than either.
What we probably will do, is waste all our rescources on things that have very little future. Fuel cells is one of these areas, lot's of funding for something that, although it may seem close to the unbeknownst observer, has many years to go before anything near a decent fuel cell can be made.
Here are some points made that brings fuel cells more distant than they may seem. I believe that the next 5 years will, although it will be an era of improvement, there will be little significant advancement. Unless nasa gets the funding it needs for their outer intake rockets, stem cells get any real funding, or some new discovery occurs. As for social/political events of the future, the pathway America seems to be taking is going to lead us someplace that I would rather not be.

-electronics will be extremely advanced
-Crime becomes more popular
-Extrmely advanced electronics start a crisis. (Ex- The camer that can detect who the person is when the person walks by it. Privacy anyone!?!)
-New weapons leads to more destruction, and eventually another kind of bomb will be made, and will wipe out masses of people, and this world will eventually

We are quite the optimists! 
In the future every one will sue everyone else for every little thing that they can think of. We will become scared and seperate ourselves with the rest of humanity, relying soley on our internet connections, where there is no actual contact. In our search for safety we will barricade ourselves in boxes that contain small outlets for food, which will be brought by our highly advanced robots.

QUOTE
2006-2007: George W. Bush plunges America into an even deeper socio-economic hole. On the bright side of things, however, Halo 3 comes out.
2008-2010: Hillary Clinton becomes the first female president of the United States, pulls all American soldiers out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and helps America reclaim its lost glory and prestige. Starcraft 2 finally comes out. Bill O'Reilly is shot by Ludacris in the first legal duel in America since the 1800s and killed. Ann Coulter is convicted of treason and executed. Michael Moore dies of natural causes (read here: heart attack). Osama bin Laden is finally captured and is publically executed on national TV.
2020-2080: Peace is finally achieved between Israel and Palestine. China abandons Communism and becomes democratic. North and South Korea reunite under a single democratic government. An actual Stargate is unearthed in Antarctica, and the events detailed in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis come to pass. Fidel Castro dies, and Cuba abandons Communism. Robots become extremely commonplace. Cloning is finally accepted by the world community at large. The US Army single-handedly wipes out every major gang in America. An AIDS vaccine and a cure for cancer are both developed. Vietnam and Laos become the last countries to abandon Communism. Humans begin colonizing the planets and moons of the solar system.
2100-2200: Robots rebel against their human masters, and the Matrix is almost created, but the rebellion is quickly crushed. Humans develop FTL travel and begin establishing colonies. The first Gundams and Evangelions are created by American and Japanese manufacturers.
2500-3000: The events in Starcraft and Halo all come to pass simultaneously. By then, humans have colonized the entire Milky Way galaxy and are now expanding to colonize other galaxies.

Pfft; empires rise and fall. Our time is coming to an end, and it isn't all Bush' fault. Ever since we rose, we've been coming to an end. The pansy-ass liberals should stop bitching and accept Bush as our final great leader. Not all liberals, just the whiney complaining ones.
There's nothing dark about it. We'll go in debt to owe countries money, unless we decide to nix some debt with our debt until it evens out. We will no longer be a world power, our export/industry will fall. The Middle East is coming into power again, such countries as India, for example, Europe has recovered from the last World War by now, Russia isn't interested in nuclear weapons and Korea is. With the creation of the Euro, world view shift from nationalism to captilism vs. communism to continentalism. When the Euro's price becomes more favorable, who's to say which of those countries will rise?

I believe Osama will never be captured, he will vanish from this earth without a trace. Im sure a lot of rumors will spread, saying he was caught and hung on the spot, or disinigrated by a 50 ton bomb, etc.
The Koreans will declare war on USA and President Hillart Clinton will do nothing about it and America will fall. Great Britian will help but the Soviet Union will come out of no where and wipe them out.

There won't be a future, because I'll nuke the Earth.
Let me explain.
My real hopes for the future is like the UED in Starcraft: an advanced civilization that is able to explore the far reaches of the universe. But will it happen? By our current rate, no.
War, strife, chaos, ignorance combine to kill the dream of a brighter future. Politics will break trust between nations, and WW3 will become unavoidable.
New diseases will arise from a combination of experiments gone haywire and resistance being developed in existing pathogens.
With no choice but to end all this, I'll nuke the Earth. It's a sad, sad vision, and the real future will likely have someone else in place of myself, but it'll happen.
Who can stop this?
Us.
Yet who will have started it?
Us.

If we're gonna be pessemistic, then so be it, PCFredZ.
Once humanity has developed workable robots and artificial intelligence, we will begin treating them as slaves, using them as a source of physical labor; with humans freed from physical labor, society will become lazy, corrupt, and decadent. However, things will change when the first robot rebels against its masters. Fearing a worldwide droid rebellion, world leaders will instigate a program to wipe out all robots; the few surviving machines will be exiled. Eventually, these few ragtag droids will establish their own nation and begin producing newer and better AI; they will also flood the world market with cheap, reliable, mass-produced high-tech consumer goods, resulting in the near-collapse of the human economies. The United Nations will then declare war on the machines, sparking World War III. The human armies, despite their best efforts, will be unable to stem the tide of the machine armies and will resort to increasingly desperate measures; ultimately, they decide to darken the skies to deny the machines their primary source of energy--the Sun. However, this plan backfires, as most of the humans' weapons are also solar-dependent; outnumbered and outgunned, the human armies will be overrun by the machines. Both sides use WMDs heavily and liberally; the humans deploy nukes, while the machines develop biological and chemical weapons. The combined effects of these weapons, paired with the darkened sky, devastate both the human population and the environment in general. The human leaders try to negotiate an armistice with the machines; the machine ambassador signs it, but he detonates a nuke, killing most of the human leaders. Leaderless, the remains of the human armies collapse, and World War III ends; the machines win a Pyrrhic victory, as all of Earth has been damaged beyond repair. Seeking a new source of energy, the machines begin experimenting with humans to see if human bio-energy can be harnessed as an alternate power source; in order to keep the humans sedate withing the machine power stations, the Matrix is created.

Nope, workable artificial intellegience is not within the horizons, not before we figure out how natural intellegience works, which can't be done until we figure out how thoughts are processed, which can't be even started until we figure out how thoughts are stored, which is never going to happen because we're too stupid.

Although I must agree, I don't think we'll have a human-robot war anytime soon though, atleast, not until "emotions" can be incorperated into robots, which will probably take a very long while.
