OT: Optimistic Outlook.

[Puke]

Yeah, they're all possible except that Last one. Its just not going to happen. We have the resources to end hunger now, without significant investment. Its just too profitable to keep people hungry.

I'd be curious to see 6: The rise of another world superpower. Interesting times, indeed.

oh yeah, and 7: true artificial inteligence.

and 8: widespread and commonly accepted use of genetically tailored organisms, up to and including people.

and 9: significantly more advanced developments in the field of cybernetics

maybe 10: flying cars.

definitly 11: advances in battlefield technology, akin to the powered exoskeletons and man portable laser rifles currently on the drawing Boards.

re: 11 - expect nanotech sooner

[Cyrien]

yah... those little nanotech exo muscle enhancers look killer.

No time for a link. Maybe do a search and post one later.
