The Sun is middle aged, I have heard people say that by the time it finishes we will have the technology to travel to another world.
But surely there will be no humans then, we will have evolved into some other life form,but what?

Evolution takes an extremely long amount of time to occur, and a really long time to specialize enough to form a completely new species.
Personally, I have a feeling that if we keep advancing our technology more and more, the chances that we'll see great evolutionary changes will be slight, and take a longer time to happen than other creatures. Technology sort of provides a safety net for people. Like, those of us in the desert don't have to specialize to be water-efficient, since technology allows us to ship water around before natural selection roots out the weaker of us. The only evolutionary changes we may see would be as a result of selective reproduction (people having kids with only tall people, having a preference for buff guys, etc).

We can tailor our environment. I suspect the human of the future will be more smog resistant, with a slightly larger head and a more efficient use of the space in the skull. Female and male size will be closer. The hand will become finer as complex delicate tasks predominate over brute force.

i beleave humans have stoped evolving
we nooo longer need to evolve too suit our enviroments there is noo form of natural selction and anything we may need too adapt for is now resolved through our technology
i beleave that technology will be soo advance to travel outter space but we shall not have changed much

I think that we could be part of the design of "human of the future", in a hundred years, negligible time for evolution, our biotechnology would be developed in order to do that

We are evolving into "Pack Rats" just go to most people's home and you will see the first evidence of this. I know people that have things that are broke and they still keep them.

Will it be nature or will it be man himself that turns his own being into something else, this is the question?

Evolution is a bogus hack, if you believe that you "evolved" from a primoridal goo millions of years ago then you have been brainwashed. I suggest that you study up on it a little.
