Remote controls for everything, gadgets that make life easier to satallites that spy on everyone. Robots on Mars to inventions that were dreams 30 years ago. Diseases that have been eradicated to stem cell research that will herald a Genetic age. Old age a thing of the past, Wars fought from desks to votes cast from a P.C.

It doesn't sound that far fetched really, I mean 30 years ago who would have thought that the internet, mobile phones would be about? Computers are being programmed to do more and more and discover more, it's when they start to combine gentics with technology and start doing things like inserting stuff that activates area of your brain like a language programme so you can speak fluent French or somethin that we need to be worried or if they give computers a sense of awareness and independence to much, who knows, and would anybody stop them / be able to stop them if they did?

Yes and no. Scientific fact and technology will only affect what we currently believe, but there are some things that can't be disproven; for instance, no one can prove that there is or isn't a God. You either believe or don't believe it, but it can never be confrimed.
Also, with the new discoveries in technology, our old Star Wars or Star Trek movies may turn into just fantasy, but it also open the door to new ideas.
What we currently take as sci-fi may be proven or disproven, but we'll just take what we currently know and come up with new sci-fi.

In many ways it already has!
Already at the moon landing someone made the statement, that reality had triumphed over the most optimistic science fiction concerning that feat.
No one had imagined, that the first landing on the moon would be witnessed by a large portion of the planet's population on TV.

this is a lot of wishful thinking. .
even as our technology gets more advanced, it's VERY obvious from just looking at the news that, as a society, we are going backwards fast. .
It's foolish to supposed that more and better technology will ever result in a better society or world, without addressing the heart of man (wicked and sinful and foolish)

I agree. The coming days are of science and technology. Faith and dogma will clearly take a back seat.

Wishful thinking, not within our life-time, but with proper education, and a lot less gullibility, the future will be determined by our intelligence, not our arrogance.
