Weve all heard of nostradamus and most likely of moores law, but what do YOU think will happen. Whats your opinion on moores law? can processor density really double every 18 months? where will this leave us in 100 years?

Khel this isnt homework - i most probably wont be using any of this in my assignment cause ive already written the last draft ready for final copy. Only reason ive posted this here is cause i kno most forum goers have some degree of imagination (if not ill surel be corrected)

once again, imaginative ideas would be nice :)

lol bantumi if im a little bitch then id hate to see how big/fat you are.

and no - china wont rule us, we will all be ruled by the one commander, a computer which makes non emotional and rational decisions regarding everything. aliens will have made contact with us not vice versa and we will be the advanced race. their storages of fossil fuel are plentiful enough to last us 30 present universal lifetimes (present time on universal time line - time since big bang x 30)

our world will have reached national peace but we will not be satisfied. teleportation will exist but will inevitably fail and cause the collapse of the entire solar system. and this is just the beggining...

coal is expected to last another 200-300 years at current levels of usage, oil has been given something like 50 years. considering if it starts to run out it'll get stupidly expensive it'll probably last a fair bit longer, but be useless for everyone because of costs.

there are plenty of ways to fuel a car, some far more efficient than current petrol, but since theres no real need at the moment, developement is limited and usage is on small scale, once regular petrol becomes ineffectively costly, new fuels will be implemented... dont worry, your automotive fantasies are not under threat

Once cold fusion is done we will have no more energy worries.

Think of laptops with batteries that last 120 year like the Terminator.

Battery companies would get royally pissed off though. They would go out of business.

The world will not be ruled by one person, there will still be heaps of wars, there will still be racism.

Aliens...i don't believe in that mumbo jumbo. Flying cars...there is already a flying car..don't you read the papers, or watch the news.


All in all, i still think the world will still be the same in 100 years, or very close to what it is now. We will be far more advanced in technology. I hope that scientists are wasting time on creating caffeine free coffee, and spending their time on reasearching cures for diseases.

I'd like to see Pete Smith back, but I'm pissed Glenn Ridge has left. Personally, I want Tony Barber to host it again.
