How well does your single mind get along with itself? If we all hooked up wouldn't like thinking minds hook themselves up and then not want to mix their great big brain with that nasty ugly big brain over there? Or maybe one mind dominates the others and takes control... wouldn't all the others fight back?

I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about this... As we have 2 hemispheres in our brain, there would be 2 hemispheres in the Hive mind, Male and Female, so I see the following happening.

The Male side thinks, "Hey, I wanna have sex!!!" and the Female side thinks "GOD, is that ALL you think about?"..."Yes" the Male side says sheepishly... and the Hive Mind dies because the Female side gets too frustrated with the Male side *chuckle* (like a brain cramp).

The hemispheres of the human mind have nothing to do with gender.

Was just my vision of the hive mind, an analogy if you will, not based on fact, hence why I was laughing when I thought about it.

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...

oh, another possibility - viral infections are getting out of control, things might go real bad very soon (read - accurate to the next millenium)
