interesting topic, i'll give it a read tomorrow (its a damn 2am!)
For my (short) view of future, i agree with the first post by Askan - apathy and distortion would grow. Also i would like to agree with game developers - sooner or later, more likely sooner, somewhere somehow would start a big war where missiles would fly and BOOM. At least something will go BOOM. I think that eventually (read - accurate to the next millenium) people would realize the uselesness of their existance and try to do something about it. Personally i expect at least partial unification in the next 100 years. Not that i'll live that long
.
As for space travel, i think that attemtps to colonize this and that will continue untill at least two countries wouldnt concentrate their combined efforts on. Flights outside solar system, if any at all and if possible, would have to wait a long time unless breaktrough comes (you never know...).
Overall its a bad time to livee in because everything is in the future
And to think i said short...
