Call me a naïve optimist, but star trek. Sure maybe not warp drives, but cheap safe nuclear energy, instant fabrication, life extension, portable universal health diagnosis, post scarcity economies, holodecks. While these seem like fantasy, just look at the advancements made in technology in the last half 40 years since it was made, the web, diagnostics on a chip, 5th gen self contained nuclear reactors, 3d printing, Watson for doctors, increased global living standards, the list goes on. Sure it can be easy to moan and speculate on all manner is distopian futures with things like gfcs and terrorism plastering our news. But you only need to go back 100 years and our world would look like star trek to people of that time. Who knows much better things will get with another 100 years of technologic advancement.
