What do you see as the future holding for us? Will we ever have flying cars or a clean renewable energy source? Replicators in the home or will machines do everything for us and we just vegetate? And what about space - we will ever travel to other galaxies and explore their planets, meet aliens or invent warp speed/transporter technology? What do you see the future holding for us? What's your vision of the future?

I have visions of a dark and gloomy future. I don't think it will be something glorious with space exploring and flying cars, but rather a decimated human race trying to survive on a nearly dead planet.

That does raise another good question, whether we all end up nuking each other long before any ice age or global cooling/heating takes care of us.
I can see this whole thing of big brother tracker our ever move going OTT. In the UK we're getting the controversial Identity Cards, what in the future? Cameras everywhere? Fingerprint ID this, retina scan that..

I must be one of the few people here in the UK who isnt freaked out by the idea of identity cards and CCTV camera's.... people HAD to have identity cards during the war, my Mam still has the ones her parents got during the war, a lot of countries already have them. I can see a future were we all get a genetic bar code tattoo the second we are born and that is our identity card/passport to the world. The west will be gobbled up by the east and holy wars will errupt....

I'm not freaked out by them I just "Do not want!!11." I don't see why I should have to pay for something I don't want, and quite frankly I'm not comfortable having all my details on there, it's opression.

There are some good things about ID chips/cards, but I don't like the idea of someone knowing where I am at all times. Am I really that dangerous!?

Sounds to me like the movie Time Machine except for the flying cars. I think the future will not have flying cars or robots that will listen to our comands. I think we will have some type of machinery chip that will go into our heads so we know how to survive better in this world. It would help us unite instead of war. Of course everything that is built always has something backfiring it.

If it doesn't make the rich richer, it wont happen.
