I would like to take a look into the future, perhaps 100-200 years from now... No one can say for sure what it will actually be like. People have always imagined it based on the present – embellishing it, adding fantastical details, and making predictions – just like we are doing now:smile42:
As for the pessimistic versions of the future, well, that is also a quite possible scenario, although not without its caveats (this refers to the end of life in 2013... by the way, in our country, in the 16th century, during the time of Ivan the Terrible, people quite realistically expected the End of the World and the Last Judgment...)):)
And I partially agree with Tengro – yes, technology is indeed developing very rapidly. Back in the 1950s, a highly respected American scientific journal made the fantastic prediction that computers by the end of the 20th century would weigh no more than 2 tons (!!!):smile07: – and now reality has surpassed even the wildest fantasies...:)
....Personally, I would like to see with my own eyes how people build a Space Elevator and land somewhere on Mars or Ganymede – it is quite possible that I will live to see that...:smile42:
...And I would also like people to sit down at the same table, put aside all personal issues, and start solving common problems – wars, poverty, hunger, ecology... – if we don't solve them now, we may not have any future at all...
