This is cool and I hope it'll happen like this. Hopefully I'll live to see the day in which i can transfer my being into cyborgs.
It'd be cool if just before our generation(s) die, they invent a way to keep your memories alive forever, allowing you to stay alive forever, as a machine. [b]EDIT:[/b] Spot the reference to a well known American comedy?

I'm optimistic about the future, we got more people fixing problems than ever before and some scifi tech is coming real on every day. But we only hear news about shit that happens. Because that sells. And because most humans don't think that much.
Lol Playstation 4 and Xbox 720. Wait, I've noticed something weird, it's saying that more and more power stations aren't harming the environment, and that cars are becoming more and more fuel-efficient, but sea levels still rise, super hurricanes, etc?
Remember in Back To The Future when in 2005, there were flying cars, instant food, all that shit? Yeah, no.
It says that computing power will eventually become more powerful then the human brain. I find that, scary.
They put this stuff happening way far before it actually will, if at all. We always imagine we'll be farther ahead than we really will. 50 years ago we imagined we'd have flying cars, 30 we imagined ourselves living in 20-story deep cities. 20, we imagined holograms by now. 10, we imagined water and solar-powered cars. We don't have any of that. They also completely ignored chances of warfare, disease, any disaster really, but it's hard to predict that kind of stuff. My personal opinion- world war over resources or economics by 2040, widespread energy and resource shortages, mass die-off, and then god knows what. At our current rate we aren't going to hit most of this technology and there's no way we'll have the ability or resources to convert from oil by 2040, and we'll be close to dry by then.

So our heads get a lot bigger, we don't need to exercise anymore, we lose all our hair Would that what we think of when we see "alien" is just our future selves?

So even if we become immortal, we will all eventually die? That is, unless we find another universe to colonies. This doesn't take M.A.D into amount.
here is my timeline: 2010-10000: nothing will happen
We're probably all going to die on this rock before we achieve any practical form of space travel. Just my two cents.

This entire timeline is stupid. Some bits are reasonable, but lots of it makes me rage.

[url=http://www.futuretimeline.net/beyond.htm#1000000]I like this one.[/url] Seems a bit too far off though. Also, I've always had this notion that when we get AI assistants, we can have even quicker movements forward. 3100 is when we have Dyson Spheres. Damnit. Also, [img_thumb]http://www.futuretimeline.net/21stcentury/images/religious-trends-future-2100.jpg[/img_thumb] Just 80 more years guys.
Some of those seems pretty far-fetched, it even had a videogame related youtube video to the "Hyper-fast crime scene analysis"
Reminds me of this, [url]http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html[/url]
Actually I think this site is more accurate than the predictions of those blind prophets. It seems they have actually done, to a moderate extent, research.

I hope it doesnt take over a hundred years to get those matter replicators cause they would be the end of scarcity as we know it
[QUOTE=Swebonny;26573147]Then you should read Baba Vanga's timeline. [url]http://www.theastralworld.com/prophecies/babavanga.php[/url][/QUOTE] That one is WORSE.
it's interesting
I don't know about you guys but reading about how humans become insignificant even leaving the biggest decisions to machines is unnerving to me. I think that at the point we become as insignificant as that we cease to be human. Many combine with the machines and basically nobody "human" is left, going by that timeline they should probably say something like "End of Human Era, Entry into Machine timeline". [quote]here is a growing anarcho-primitivist movement. This consists of small underground cults opposed to the increasing dominance of AI in the running of world affairs. They deplore what they see as forced, unnatural changes and technologies sweeping humanity - instead favouring a return to more traditional lifestyles and cultures. They are prepared to resort to whatever means necessary to achieve this.*[/quote] I would probably be one of these guys if I'm still alive...
