Society & Culture Future Timeline

[Yellow Feathers]

Thought i'd share this with my fellow BigFooty posters.

http://www.futuretimeline.net/

Start at 2012 and progress through the years, decades, centuries etc.

Obviously someones own predictions for what the future holds, but much of it seems plausible and well researched. Very interesting and also frightening in a way... If only half of this stuff eventuates we will lose many of the freedoms we take for granted today.

Thoughts?

Interesting that.

 

[grizzlym]

Cheers for that. That Japanese physicist - who's name always escapes me - has an interesting book out which contains future predictions.

Not Michio Kaku is it ??

 

[Benno_900]

No flying cars until 2079.

Ah, you've just sparked my interest, and now I'm compelled to find and then read the book.

I browsed it when i was in transit somewhere or other a few months back.

It's not in the extreme future speculation of the site above, but more what science/physics can offer now but what isn't in play, or in the next 50 years. But I'm going off jet-lagged memories here.

love this stuff, thanks for the link.

 

[Saint KFC]

Awesome. Looking forward to immortality and god-like abilities.

 

[BarneyBent]

That stuff is so cool....

If I get to the age of 80 or so and I'm given the option of being cryogenically frozen and woken up in the future (doesn't really matter when), I would jump at the chance. To see the future, to see first hand both ends of such a wide span of progression, would be truly magnificent.

Manned mission to Mars by 2031? Hmmm...

Thanks.

The man mission to Mars is probably the only thing that I feel to be a bit erm... far fetched.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Great read, thanks for that.

Looking forward to my immortality.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Thanks.

There's one already in planning isn't there? Not that I think it will happen by then.

Yeah, but by 2031? You never know, I guess

 

[RickSanchez]

All these years and all these events yet no mention of Freo winning a premiership FFS!

Didn't you see the section on virtual reality?

The Chinese will do it. Might take a few tries, they don't mind, you just won't hear about the unsuccessful missions.

 

[powerful girl]

that is an amazing read, so much interesting stuff. thanks for sharing

 

[Leper]

Ditto.

Terraform Mars by 2500? Bring it on!

 

[Poetic Justice]

I like the thinking that for most of us reading this, we're going to be around long enough to halt the aging process and hopefully long enough for immortality.

Sweeeet!

In all seriousness, I got lost in that site for an hour or so, it was a fantastic read.

The only far fetched bit for me was the thought reading by 2019. It will happen but might need another decade or two, especially to create a devise that can be used by the general public.
