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

Eg, terminator/in time/various space stuff/a world where people are uploaded to AI instead of dieing.

Personally I find it all depressing other than the idea that there's life on other planets to explore and maybe time travel.

I think the invention of hover scooters are the start of spaceships that can go long distances and people need to invest and work on that - that and holiday trips to the moon. There needs to be holiday trips to the moon.

What would you like to see in the future of humans?

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.

@DunningKruger We already have. We just don't do it.
