Yoyo,
No way.
We are the new explorers.
We will be a case study.
A new career will be created
that specializes in analyzing
us, our questions, our answers.
We will make not only the history
books, but every single Psychology,
Anthropology, Social Behavior Studies
books/web pages, and then some.
Some will be awed at our brilliance,
others will beg to differ, and so on,
so on, as it has happened through
the ages.
If nothing else they will come to the
conclusion that:
"During those years, people:
Helped
Provoked
Called attention upon themselves
Used strange languages
Did not understand questions asked to them
Understood not only the questions asked them but
all the in between the lines inferences.
They went for something called 'points' which as of
today we cannot determine what they provided.
If they answered and the asker liked the answer,
they were supposed to dance around
There was a group that made all the decisions for
them, and these people never even got to meet or
to vote for them - there were no primaries, conventions,
nor election day, no spending.
And they were the creators of 24/7
without missing a day, they were there
every single minute of every single day.
Unless, the 'group' had run out of ink -
Indeed, a most unusual but highly inventive and
resourceful people, our predecessors were!
The End.

Yoyo, Our technology is developing very fast, who knows what will be around in 2020. But we, as humans, are not developing our thinking at the same rate, in fact we do it very slowly.
So if you are referring to the questions in the "Philosophy" section of Yahoo answers, I am sure the same questions will be around in 2020, because these questions have been around for hundreds of years, every since man started pondering on his existence.
The questions in the "computers", "Internet", "Car and transportation" have a big chance to sound ridiculous in 2020.

We are not developing as fast as the science fiction books predicted, that is for sure. Modern medicine is still slow in finding cures. Racism is almost worn like a badge of personal choice and I do not see it easing off. Education is still struggling to teach our kids the 3-R's. I would love to be old and gray in 2020 and see great changes for the better..but I am not very optimistic in 2006.

In 2020, PC's (and this site) will probably be the equivalents of 8-track stereo cartridges . . .

No, but some of the rude answers would. I asked a perfectly serious question regarding music and got an answer back "I don't care". If you don't care, get off of here or just don't answer at all thank you very much.

Not in this section.
The philosophy questions like:
What is art?[1]
What is knowledge?[2]
What is the universe?[3]
Were asked for 1000's of years, and it is quite unlikely that another 15 years will solve them,

I think they would.Fifteen years ago there wasn`t many mobile phones and now everyone has them.I think it`s the same with knowledge and these questions.

They are the same questions we asked 20 yrs ago for the most part, only the players have changed!

Some might sound ridiculous but not all. Some questions are timeless......like.....what is the meaning of life, for example.....
