How will things be differen't in 10 years from now?

Post Reply New Topic

I am just thinking about how differen't my life will be in ten years. I hope to have a decent paying job to do with computer networking and a decent car. I am also wondering what sort of technology will be around in 10 years time. How far will Gentic Engineering advance with in this time? Will people be having designer babys? and drug compainys making all there drugs by engineering plant genes. What will computer technology be like then? Im guessing small and wireless and maybe a new type of internet will be developed that shares informations really fast. Fast enough to even share processor power between computers over the net.

I wonder if cars will be using biodiesel or hydragin cell technology or some thing else differen't. Wheither there will be a replacement for petrol cars yet and how high petrol prices will rise.

I wonder what wars will be started and what global problems will arise.

Not sure....I wonder too when I'm not worring about work or something.

Personally, I'd like to see more diesels on the road.
Diesel technology a improved greatly in the last couple decades and is continuing to improve at the same rate. They are not the slow, smokey, smelly, and loud things they used to be.

I drive a Jetta TDi wagon, great car. I have yet to run biodiesel in it but the prospect of making my own biodiesel is something I find very attractive.

Ten years from now I will have opened a boarding house for people on the AS spectrum as well as a retreat center for people in the helping profession.
I will have a job where people understand me and are not threatened or awed by my intelligence and creativity.
I will have enough money to help sites like WP not have to have any advertising.
I will have a part time career in public speaking.
I will live in a place with enough room to accomodate the paraphernalia of a creative mind.
And crumby people and bullies won't get me down.

Heres some thing about some hippy running a car on vegatable oil.

Ok it probably isn't closly related but oh well.

my kitty will want to cuddle more because he will be old and sickly and dying.

I will rule the world, or at least most of Europe....

There will be a surge of investment in alternative energy technologies as we Hubbert peak oil is backdated to 2001. The remaining stock supplies in USA alone are calculated to run out in 2035, much soon that predicted. Many of those other technologies are still way off from being developed, there is a large stock market correction. Hoarding begins. Oil companies intensify their ogliopoly on the market. The nature of transport dynamics worldwide is affected. A sudden shift back to regionalization. Numerous countries go to old fashioned war. Little is gained. National states declare a partial marshalling of remaining supplies in order to ensure a stabilized market shortly before the Olduvai cliff is reached. A major worldwide disaster is narrowly averted. The nature of resource economics is rewritten.

I will become the kittah king.

Then I'll just need to find a potential cat-bitch to be mah queen.

Am I taking this thread seriously? Yes.

I will have two teenaged daughters (18 & 16)
my wife will have hit menopause
i will find new places to hide

America will be an Aristocracy

Sophist will have 61,000 posts
Neuroman will remain consistent, besides the ever changing face of his avatar
MoOC will wonder

Everybody will know 10 years less what they know now

Freedom will reign supreme, behind closed doors where no-one can see

The peaguy will require bifocals, only to read, though.

This is so frustrating maybe I will have to repost this thread with a differen't title. Maybe people aren't geting this. This is the most interesting topic pretty much possible and there is not friggin post on it.

Does no one care what the future holds? Out side of how old there cat maybe?

I can't even fathom what my life will be like ten years from now, but I will be really old (28 years old ).

Sorry to anyone 28 years or older for my rude statement. It's just when you're 18, 28 seems like a long way off.

My favourite film is Bladerunner because it dispelled the myth
that the future is shiney and utopian and new

The future is old, older than now.
Everything will be more decrepid, tarnished and poluted.

(But on the bright side computers will be
s**t hot and really cheap)

...Oh all right, we'll all live in shiney cities in the sky
and we'll never have to work because robots
will do it all for us, and beer will be free.

I will have 4 cats 3 dogs 4 bearded dragons 5 hamsters 3 gerbils 4 giney pigs and 2 geckos and 2 frogs.
