When you think of all the whacky future possibilities for the human race what do you hope happens?

I hope that we're able to develop practical sources of energy that will allow us to move away from fossil fuels and work to repair the damaged environment.

I hope that we develop practical methods of travelling in space and spread out into the solar system.

It would be really cool if there were some means of getting around the speed-of-light limit and actually develop craft that can make interstellar journeys in reasonable human periods.

Mostly, I hope that all this new technology creates a prosperous future in which everyone can live meaningful lives, not just enrich a given few.

I think I most look forward to transcending humanity, actually. We're so limited in our current state. I'd like to see what we become next. Can you imagine being digital? Changing bodies as easily as you change a shirt. Or maybe being in more than one body at one time?

Imagine what you could do, if you lived forever. You could do everything. Live every life. Try every job. See every place. And by the time you finish? There are new things. There will always be new things. Right up until there isn't. When the stars grow too far apart, the heat and energy are gone, and even time itself is forced to stop. Death can't be cheated... But oh the adventures you could have until then!

I hope people become more empathic and treat each other better.

Benevolent AI

I've promised to upload my boyfriend to a cloud if he dies before I do. Other than that I'm open for any kind of death that's as far from heaven hell bs as possible (sorry Christians but I've heard that version of death millions of times and it's boring)

My hopes, really don't follow the current direction that things are going.

I am fairly certain though that it won't go to either a Utopian nor a Dystopian types of societies.

Both involve extremes. And I don't believe either is in us a a people. Individually that is different.

Unfortunately I do see a type of aristocratic type of society in the future. It's already showing it's ugly face, where everything is built on wealth.

The technology of the future really doesn't matter. How society is run is what does matter.

Outer space travel I do see as a necessity. This world is already running out of resources as is. Yet it not going to be for the poor.

Elon Musk has already proved that. 😞

Only if government influence out weights the wealthy will space be even for the common person.

That just is not happening.

entropy

Fifty years from now the few remaining humans left on this pitiful broken planet will be living in caves and killing each other for a drink of water.

[c=BF6900][i]none of that will happen i hope, hopefully god returns and takes his people home, and those who pass on before move on to the heavenly realm anyway.[/i][/c]

It is fun or scary to speculate the future.

Back in the 80's there was a ton of things we saw about what the world after the year 2000 would be like. Some of it did kind of happen but a lot of it was just science fiction.

The future isn't what it used to be.

The weird thing though is that even though we knew what was coming in the way of computers and cell phones, it wasn't real often discussed back then.

I kind of like the idea of star trek. A cashless resource based post-scarcity economy where we explore space to have something to do and it appeals to our human nature.

I hope people stop pretending we can leave the earth and let us live here in peace.

Common sense, logic, critical thinking and ability to seek the truth and avoid the illusion and propaganda being spoon fed to them daily.

My hope is that we would all be lifted up into heaven. I'm guessing that's pretty unlikely...

The standard tech bro fantasy replaced my future. I'm having fun.

I see a Revival, a mass coming to "Our Lord & Savior."
