Some of the predictions below are interesting:

What are yours?

Very interesting....

I predict that the future will not be as anyone predicts it will be. A couple of years ago, I found the centre few pages of a Daily Mirror I'd forgotten I'd saved. It was from the early 1960's and was full of predictions about life in the year 2000. What our homes would be like, transport, work, etc. None of it bore any resemblance to the reality of 2000.

I predict that everything will be controlled by numbers, things like human tastes, abilities will be genetically implemented in newborn babies to satisfy quota etc..

I predict a huge change in LQ... the king is dead long live the king. ???

1) An asteroid will hit the earth and humans will go like the dinos may have.

2) Sauron will be ruling middle-Earth (or just Earth) with an iron fist.

3) An endless nuclear winter where mutant freak zombies search for brains.

... you know, I can't think of anything positive.

Homo sapiens has ~5,000 years remaining. "Intelligence" proves not to be an advantage and just another genetic aberration that, sort of, peters out.

i pretty much want none of those things to happen.

Some thing that you wear and makes you control technology, or some electronic thingy that can give us telekinetic powers, those would be awesome.

And they must create some CuringRoom that when you get there inside would get you a fast health analysis and you'd have the option to get cured fast and painlessly. Yea, that would be the best invention of the world.


Also the space elevator would be awesome

But having nanobots in you that would be all over the body , and knowing that some greedy a*s company could secretly be having control over every damn nanobot that's in my , and that they could kill me at one thought , and find me everywhere in the world , that scares me alot. and it could even become a standard. That would be the worst move ever to get some of those inside u.

Depressing as it is, this. Ditto "consciousness", whatever that is.

Also depressing, but IMO extremely likely (since we can't be collectively kept in the dark about it forever ): "the justice system will be based entirely on rehabilitation". The "free will" del^H^H^Hillusion can't be kept up forever…

Actually, I can't see much good coming from the future, either, but for different reasons than H_TeXMeX_H. My concerns have to do with scientific progress/knowledge eating away at what makes us "human" (whatever the hell that means), rather than some grand orchestrated conspiracy to rule the world or some such…

/me gets the hell outta dodge before he goes off on a big long depressing rant about evolution and the nature of "intelligence"/"consciousness"/etc. and how it differs from our instinctive perceptions

Ah, I thought of another one:

World War 3 = Amerika + EU vs China + Russia

Only just saw this, sorry but Homo Sapiens (Neadertal and GroMagnon) haven't existed for about 30000 years. Modern Humans are Homo Sapien Sapien. Any other predictions?

Due to the fact that the world will 'come to an end' on December 21, 2012, I predict:

1. Most people will wear clean underwear that day.
2. People will take advantage of furniture stores offering: 'no payments until 2013!'
3. There will finally be 'peace in the middle-east'.
4. People will mail their Christmas cards early.
5. The price of oil will drop.

... and best of all, read my lips, 'No more taxes!"

Add me to the list of pessimists. I have little hope human civilization as we now know it can sustain another hundred years. War, famine, and disease can be overcome, but not the way things are now.

Talk about a discussion that brings people down

People have been saying similar things for hundred of years, if not longer, and we always seem to pull ourselves out of the mire. The issue is what are we classing as civilisation? Do we really want to continue along the path we are now where approximately 1/3 of the worlds population takes 95% of the resources? Is that civilisation?

the future ??

let's see there was a "cold war" movie
"Colossus:the forbin project "

so the prediction is this
" There is another "
" There is another "
" There is another "
" There is another "
" There is another "
