200 years

[gcursor]

I was watching the documentary THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 2 hours from History channel and I started thinking about something. Think about how far we've progressed since the colonial times. Tobacco was a popular crop back then because of the soil conditions. Rum was a drink enjoyed by all. Kids passed the time playing outside or playing with inexpensive hand-made toys. This was before the age of modern medicine so people died from infected wounds or from diseases which can be cured with a pill today.

 

So much has changed since that time so long ago..with that thought in mind, what do you think 200 years will be like into our future? What will life be like and what new devices will enrich our lives ?

Post the Singularity, rogue self-replicating robots will roam the rubble, probing for one more living human upon which to spray the horrendous viral particles they carry. Alas, they will probe in vain, for even homo sapien's mutated posterity will be long since extinct.

You mean after 100,000 or 6,000 years, take your choice, we only have 200 to go? Oh, well, so long as it isn't 20-30; I might last that long.
