Where will the world be in 200 years?

Thats a very probable scenario. In fact, i believe there are hover cars out now. They are just insainly expensive, and loud from what i have heard. I saw this on tv, i think the discovery channel a while ago. So what you said has a very very good chance of happening.

Lol, just look at the 70's movies and how they pictured the world in the year 2000... Since in 15 years, pc's have gone from, playing pong to fully detailed flight simulation(gaming wise).

Let's see, compound freon gas makes it possible to alter the martian atmosphere in about a hundred years, freeing oxygen that can be sustained by something similar to our geosphere. I'd have to expect about 50 years before we actually send missions like this to Mars though, so we'll have to wait and see.

What else? Hmm, I'm sure we will have found out the truth about dark matter, and why the glaxies of the universe move away from each other with an accelerated speed. Looking back at the past evolution of earth, where we've gone from Chinese rapid fire crossbows in the 11th century, to sub-machineguns 10 centuries later, or Greek flamethrowers before christ to... Modern flamethrowers without much of a difference, I don't think our technological evolution might be so exponential as we think.

We'll most definitely be out of raffined, carbonized fuel in about 70 years, leading to a requirement of finding better sources of energy. Solar power is a waste of power so far, so it could be developed greatly. Fusion or singularity related energy would be ideal, but of course, lots of energy can be used to develop horrendous weapons of mass destruction.
Considering roughly 66.8 milligrams of mass (6.7*10^-5 kg) gives slightly more than the equivalent power of what an average, modern nuclear reactor produces in an entire year, I'm sure you can imagine what the future might hold at bay for us. On top of this, back in 2001, the entire world consumed a total energy equivalent to roughly 553 kilograms of mass. Care to sacrifice your car to power the entire world for 2-3 years of time?

I feel like I'm in the bastard child combination of an Advanced Math class and an Economics class...

1. Hamsters will be overlords, and use their pellet guns to enforce the rules of a pure etopian society!
2. Computers will be hand-held with speeds up to 1,000,000 GHZ! and Hard Drives with up to 1,000,000 T-Bytes of SPACE and COUNTER-STRIKE WILL BE THE SUPREME OVERLORD OF ALL GAMES AND ALL STUDENTS (pre-skool to collaj) WILL HAVE A CLASS THAT WILL TEACH THEM THE BASICS OF THIS CLASS *laff*

Im sure the human race will destroy itself by that time.

Actually, if we aren't exterminated, I have a feeling neural integration will be everywhere. As in, you can do anything electronic with your mind, and much more than we can contemplate doing now.

Im really hoping that WW3 is fought in my lifetime.......I'd be the first person to grab a fucking rifle!!!

I also hope that it is fought in American continent.......no more of that euro battlefield crap...time to show americans what its really like!

True, American's have never experience anything like real war. Imagine Iraq troops come to your small town and murder everyone like the U.S. troops did in Vietnam.

I sure hope it isn't in America. I'd be the first fucking town to get taken over, since I'm in Rhode Island.

Good thing I live in Florida...there's absolutely nothing in Florida of use to anyone. Except nuclear power...NASA...Disney World...

Yep, if war ever breaks out, we're pretty safe.

There isn't much in Michigan to bomb....Well. Except maybe the (previously) Upjohn HQ right here in my town. ;;>.>

There's a nuclear power plant about 10 miles from my house.

Yipes. I'll cry for you if it's bombed. And then I promise to dance naked on your grave.

Cry for south carolina, virginia, tennessee, west virginia, and most of georgia too.(I don't think I forgot anyone.)

That's a lot of places for me to go and dance naked around...

If it does blow-up, maybe you'll just be a mutant freak and be discriminated the rest of your life.

Or maybe you won't even be in the state at that time. Or maybe Jesus will kill Santa. These are all probable situations.

Anywho, I'll be dead long before 200 years comes by. So I don't care what's happening around then.


...Unless I'm reincarnated. Which in that case, it would probably suck to be alive.

You cou7ld be re-incarnated as a cockroach. Nasty, but you'll be alive during the nuclear destruction.

How pleasant...
