Does anyone think any movies accurately portray the future (from what you've read and guess it will be like)?
I'm kind of glad I'm alive during the last wave of real happiness. I don't like to much crazy technology. Even cell phones get to me since so much info can be acquired with your number.
Every time you see the future portrayed in movies it's always this dystopian world like Blade Runner, Avatar or Madmax.
I actually think the future will be awesome. I think people will work less, travel more, have more lifestyle options, more diseases will be curable, advances in understanding the human genome will allow us to live longer, we'll be able to take vacations to mars or a hotel at the bottom of the ocean. In my opinion there will be fewer wars and conflicts, many of the poor countries now will be better developed,causing population growth to stabilize. More nations will be democratic. You will have fewer people that are violently religious as the world becomes more secularized.
My main worry though is energy and resources. If we can get past that hurdle I think we'll be set. I also worry that women everywhere will basically turn into men with Skrillex haircuts. Overall though I look forward to the future.
