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?

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.

@CestManan we saw a ton of corporate plugs for certain things.

@Roundandroundwego what does that mean? I was a kid back in the 80's so I didn't really know what was going on aside stuff that young people understand.

@CestManan I was a kid too, but I didn't miss the heavy marketing of devices and toys and games or the corporate control of "development" of everything from video games to email until everyone had smartphones.
We knew that wasn't great for us, we knew there was no public interest involved.
