There are some crazy predictions for how the world will be in 28 years. (http://news.discovery.com/tech/2030-megatrends-megahumans-megacities-121212.html#mkcpgn=rssnws1)

If you had to guess what the future would be like, what would you predict?

I predict a future where the cost of being alive is so little that you can be supplied with food and video games for nearly free for the rest of your life.

War and bloody death.



The more we get, the more we lose.

Dude, I've seen enough Doctor Who to know human immortality and CONTACTS THAT SEND YOU TEXT MESSAGES really aren't a good idea.

Austrian scientist A. Schwarzenegger urges humanity to "get our asses" there, I hear.

I just want to upload my entire mind into an immortal cybernetic brain and I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED.

The US President will be a disabled lesbian Muslim, geese will be extinct, we'll all have cybernetic toes and Sephex will have won 0 Ciddies.

I will be greatly disappointed if Half-Life 2 doesn't occur in my lifetime.

No worries about that!

Unless you mean the world turning into a place like HL2. In which case what are you thinking. I don't want to worry about headcrabs scuttling around outside my apartment.

Space, ubiquitous global communications, cybernetics and biotechnology which will lead to effective immortality, there still won't be a worthy sequel to SMAC, and Sephex will still have no ciddies.

Everyone will have breasts due to the amount of estrogen floating around in our water systems thanks to those slutty slut sluts on birth control.

A generation of current EoFFers' children will be arguing on EoFF 10.0 about Final Fantasy jumping the shark with XXIX.

BoB is merely an AI construct delivering on-demand pie charts after choosing to merge with Helios.
Pike Jr grew up to hate Sid Meier after being forced to worship at his shrine every morning.
Psychotic Jr posts in the football thread about going to Goodison Park every week to watch the champions of Europe Everton with best friend Heath Jr, against the wishes of his father, who is the lone remaining supporter of some non-league club claiming to represent Liverpool.
Iceglow Jr is actually just an aging Iceglow.
Jiro Jr is the first person in his family to ever need to shave.
Christmas Jr is actually Kim Jong Un.

The most disappointing realisation I came to the other day is that the 'future' from Back to the Future II is 2015. We're going to have to make a lot of progress in the next two years.

I was always fascinated by the idea of androids/robots/cyborgs being considered a race (or races, I guess) in the future.

I imagine it will be largely the same, except with greater technological advancements and even bigger bastards running everything.

2030 is actually only 18 years from now... :D

Anyway I think it's all a bunch of trout. Remember what people in the 1980's imagined the 2000's would be like? What about the 50's? Just watch some movies or read some books from that era.


Yeah, none of that really ever happened.
