as what media and other science fiction movies set in the future shows, technology conquers almost everything, maybe many more advancements will arise and who knows, those built for lessening human work loads will be used as deadly and dangerous weapons. maybe gadgets and computers will generate almost everything, this was i think because of human's nature of too much curiosity.

I believe we will continue to progress slowly.............everyone says we are always advancing. Which we are, but not at the rate that was imagined back in the 90's

I remember being in High School and reading about cars that have wings to fly, and a ton of other crap that was supposed to be available by 2002. You would have thought that we would have cured cancer and HIV by 2006. But then again, maybe we have but most of us can not afford the cure. Although the internet has progressed quickly, but could be slowed in the near future by the government turning our information super highway into a dirt road.

I personally hope for medical advances but could care less about technological advances that only make us lazier as a country.

I believe that we will get to a point where powerful computers, or hardware of equivalent computing capability, will be miniaturized to the point where it could be implanted in our heads to aid in our own logic. With this profound aid, man could see further down the cause and effect rabbit hole and comprehend it. Like a chess novice suddenly becoming a grandmaster simply because he can see the evolution of great complexity from simple rules. If we can get to this point without killing ourselves, I believe that Man could employ more rationality in his dealings then he does today. And if we could comprehend enough complexity, perhaps we would finally see just how interdependent we are with each other in all phenomena, to the point of choosing to, rationally, finding the most optimum solution for everyone's well being.

People have always been at war with Nature.
Technology is the weapon that escalates the battle evermore.
When people learn to live in peace with Death, then the war will end and survival of the Human Race will become a possibility.

I think that social advancements from the Enlightenment onward (democracy, free enterprise, exchange of scientific ideas) have allowed technology to grow, flourish, and change our lives. If we keep this up, I think it will continue to improve almost exponentially.

Think of what we've accomplished in the past century: Penicillin, DNA, gene therapy, birth control, lasers, the Hubble telescope, human on the moon, space probes, discovery of other planetary systems, better treatments for cancer, doubling in average U.S. lifespan (around 1900 it was in the mid 40s), pesticides, sharp reduction in childhood mortality, Silicon chips, fiber optic cables, organ transplantation, and the Internet, just to name a few.

But don't forget the awful stuff, either: Hundreds of millions killed through senseless violence, the wanton destruction of life through the use of technology without due consideration of ethics (atom bomb), the threat of MAD during the Cold War, the alteration of global environment, anti-individualist Communist philosophy, fundamental religious tyranny (Sharia Law).

There are two possibilities for the future:

If most humans are reasonable enough to reject violence and advance Science with a strong understanding of contemporary ethics, then I expect we will eventually do things that match our wildest dreams: Slow or suspend biological aging through nanotechnology or genetic manipulation, find cures to major diseases (I'd particularly like to see Progeria, Cancer, and AIDS go), find new ways to cope with increasing populations, improve standards of living for the world's poorest, travel to other star systems, refine our study to find Earth-like planets with similar chemical compositions, terraform heavenly bodies, reverse some cases of death, separate the human mind from the frailties of the physical body, vastly improve communication (we see this now in the Internet), change the human genome with selections from other species (dangerous), seek extraterrestrial intelligent life, preserve culture and history through virtual reality, or any other number of possibilities.

The second option is obvious: If tomorrow's children are as stupid and shortsighted as our forefathers, then we may experience global catastrophe and destroy ourselves in new, depraved ways, either succumbing to fundamentalist fantasies, remaining passive to real social and/or environmental problems (we already see this in the U.S.), through continued nuclear proliferation, or some form of biological weapon. It could also be ended by a natural disaster that causes mass extinction.

Fortunately, I'm optimistic, but maybe this is because I live in the U.S. where I am free to hold my non-religious opinions and benefit from scientific improvements, unlike a woman in Afghanistan under Sharia law.

So I guess the future could either be stunning and beautiful, or disturbing and grotesque. Considering human nature, the one constant, I suspect it will be both.

No one honestly knows what will exactly happen. Unless your a fortune teller. You can definitely get an idea though. Flying cars, robots, Holograms. All that stuff.

Catch ya later.

conditions will probably be worse unless we clean our acts up in many perspectives.we need to try to make the aerth better instead of wasting all non renewable natural resources. we also need to end all these senseless wars.
