Yea sxy, I think totally different, and sooner than we think.
Not that I am a pessimist, but the times they are a changin'
I think that the biggest impact will be felt in the next ten years, as cheap petroleum becomes harder and harder to find. We use oil for a number of things, and I think that we should (like for contact lenses and useful things such as a water gasket for your garden hose), but to consume it as fuel at such a ridiculous rate...
Anyway, I shouldn't get into that right now, but yes, I feel that we are just reaching the beginning of an apex to a very sharp curve...
I like to describe our era as the "Golden Age of All Comforts"
Most of our technologies and the products available to us are simply to make our lives more comfortable; stay inside on a hot day with air cond etc etc...
Do you enjoy camping? I can hack it for a few days...

yeah Oni I hear ya there..
I think there are so many petty things this world worries about such as what kind of salad dressing to have that its gotton to the point of comples rather than the orignal idea of simplicity..lol
and as times go's on, we will make things more complex instead of easeir..
yeah I love camping and I like to do it alot..though when I do it I sure miss electricity..hehe

Hmmm. I fear that we will cause great harm to our world. I fear by means of war, and/or possible genicide. Power and control isn't everything. So many countries are picking up nuclear weapons, and posing threats to our 'civilized' lifestyle. I think that possibly our earth will try to heal itself by great means of destruction, and attempt to eradicate us as a virus. We continue to pave over nature and pollute our airs and somthing has gotta give. I believe that man/woman will survive, and hopefully learn to live in harmony with nature and each other. I want our world to be one nation, connected in arms across the world. May we prosper in spiritually and slow down in technology, so that we can obtain balance. May we also lose our 'self-importance' and our arrogence that our 'knowledge', media and technology has contributed to. I pray that we can learn to use our comminicative technology for enlightenment, education, and evolution as a society, and not for fear, sex, and violence distribution. That is the reason that I do not watch T.V. My apologies if this outlook appears negative, really they are my hopes and fears. God bless us all.

Incubus,
I think that those are cool views. I remember how nice it was not watching TV for about six months.... it opens your mind and allows you not be sucked into all of the illusions of our present society. Somehow I don't think that we will destroy our planet. I think that maybe there is some sort of higher intelligence that would prevent that. I don't know, I hope so anyway!

Thanks brother. Yes society is all about illusions, control, fear, fitting in, and it just has such a negative impact on my life. Even if I'm hanging out at a friends house and they start watching TV I end up talking and buggin people, so usually I just leave. lol. I find without TV in my life I have more time to do the things I enjoy, and form my own opinions without any influence. I read alot too, and of course the internet is such a good tool. I really hope we evolve to point where we can use our technology for good, as in communication, learning, and helping others, and not just gaining money, and exploiting our negative aspects, like violence, drugs, and sex all the time. Of course humans are a sexual race, but get real do we need it every second of the day? lol. It makes me angry to see this, and have our children subject to these influences on a daily basis. The youth of today find it cool to smike, do drugs, drink, fight etc, and because we show them that it is cool to be this way. I was raised on TV growing up and it does teach you alot, but we can do better lol. I'll stop rambling now.

We will either be flying cars above city streets or be gone from this world in 20 years, I think. Technologicaly we could be using computers that no longer require a large array of hardware or be fighting wars with sticks and stones.

Look at it this way, we'll be more psychic and have better OBE's because we'll have extraordinary abilities. The earth will be more polluted and more people will die. We'll be looking to project more and more and finally we'll project forever.

I think something very traumatic will happen. Many people talk about 2012 because it's the end of the Mayan calendar. I wouldn't be surprised if it was that soon because Mankind keeps going the wrong way and it won't wake up without being whacked.
