Thanks! Give me a story of what you think! Like long answers Please.

In 500 years;
Space travel will be common and economical in the inner part of the Solar System via fusion engines. Outside of Saturn's orbit, only scientific outposts, explorers and some comet miners will exist.
Earth will be filled to capacity with human beings. 300 billion.
Mars will be partially terraformed and the farthest along. Atmospheric pressure and temperatures on Mars will be high enough to allow domed cities on the surface, with oxygen pumped in to keep the dome inflated. There will be several billion people living there already; Mars will be an independent (of Earth) confederacy of nations.
Terraforming will have started on Venus, with the construction of a sun shade; the shade being a ring similar to that of Saturn's formed from destroyed asteroids that we moved out of Venus grazing orbits. We will be also (gently as possible!) crashing comets onto Venus to create oceans of water and add other volatiles. There will be small scale floating research stations in the atmposhere, but no attempts to colonize the surface yet. Temperatures will be down to 200 degrees, F and most of the cloud cover will be gone.
We will be starting the process of terrforming Jupiter's moon Callisto by melting and vaporizing her water ice into an atmosphere. There will be a handful of colonists there living below ground.

No flying cars or Teleporters, but there is already Cloning. Cloning for animals that is. Human Cloning is illegal in the US, but not in all countries, and I think there is a 50/50 chance that there will be at least one human Clone born by 2017. Suborbital space flight for regular people will be commonplace by then, but it will still be pretty expensive. We will not have yet sent any more people to the Moon.

In the future we will build machines that can think, reason, understand and will be self aware. There will be machines that can fit into the small blood vessels of your body. Some machines will be replacements for the cells of your body. In time, so many biological cells will be replaced by machine cells that people will become more machine than biological organism. Eventually we will all be totally machines. We won't die. Our conciousness, memory, experiences will all be digitally recorded and preserved. If you want to find out more about what the future will be like get Ray Kurzweil's book, "The Singularity is Near". Say interested and keep on thinking free.

Well, the future isn't what it used to be.
I thought landing men on the moon in the '70's would be as far behind in 30 years (2000) as that was to 30 years previous (1940).
But those 60 years has been mostly a disappointment.
Where is the room temperature superconductor?
Where is cancer cure?
Where is AIDS cure?
Where is rocket propulsion?
Where is the $1 trillion Bush got us into debt ?
Where is the $3 trillion budget deficit going?
It hard to make advances when the country is in economic collapse.

At the rate technology is going we will ultimately become more dependent and merger with it. As the medical aspect we will end up curing most of our health problems now but in the end we will create new health problems we will not be able to stop most likely on the genetic level. Either way we will need to advance faster in space travel and colonization to advance our species let alone save it.

Everyone will have massive, shiny metal robots to do mundane things like type letters on the typewriter, wash dishes, and change the channel knob on your TV.
Electronic scavenger dogs will clear out the constant rain of burning wreckage from all the flying cars that crash and fall out of the sky during rush hour.
The world will have SEVEN computers, owned by the seven richest kings in Europe.
And Big Brother will be watching you.

You will cease to be a human possessing independent thought processess but rather become, by insertion of Digital Angel, a mindless drone, in short a democrat?
Welcome, to the machine: Technological enslavement of the massess, I saw it on the Terminator!

Judging from the technological advances of the last 10 years, I would say that there won't be much improvement in technology. Toilet paper has been the same for 100 years.

Computers using massive parallel processing will eventually become self aware, and be able to create their own software to complete tasks asked for by their owners.
Using such, totally automated factories will be built, which without human intervention will produce anything asked for.
Utopia!

...the rich will take advantage of new technology to clone new uber-bodies which will live for 1000 years, the poor will die off in a generation, and natural procreation will be outlawed...
...the world will be populated by an increasingly sociopsychotic populus until armageddon...
the end
