- ghc 16y agoI believe you'd have to turn to science fiction writing these days. Well, that or the futurist movement. But for the most part, I think the public has lost its thirst for knowledge about the far off future. We're much more of a "want it now!" culture. I find it very sad.
- JonnieCache 16y agoI think this is because people have gotten so used to rapid innovation that they no longer look to the far future for the arrival of new tech, because it now arrives week on week. As a consumer, why speculate on the next 100 years when you know from experience that you will have some undreamed of tech next year? I don't see this as a bad thing. As long as those in society that actually do the innovating don't completely succumb to a similar myopia.
- tjmaxal 16y agohow about the singularity.
- lallysingh 16y agoIt's fun to watch the evolution of Star Trek series.
- coffeeaddicted 16y agoSure - technology will advance to a point where it will be indistinguishable from magic. So the world will look exactly like World of Warcraft. Everyone monotonously doing the same stuff over and over every day while dragons (and any other kind of genetic mutations) will roam the landscape (carrying ads most likely).
