I wonder what do you think the future will look like from 2011 onwards? I hope it will be like back to the future or Star Trek. I want it to be like that. I wonder what 2057 will look like after I wach the documentary. I hope it will look like that. I wonder that though.
Also no 2012 answers I don't belive in 2012 because remember when everyone thought the world was going to end in the year 2000 for Y2K?
2011+? Depends on the era. As for the near future, I predict the collapse of the US into a megacorporate interest somewhere around the 2080-2120 mark. Past that, massive economic collapse of Europe with Germany essentially buying up new territory, a revitalization of Russia, China getting a space station (or something), the rebirth of a British Empire, mass unification in Africa.
3000s+, dunno.
5000s+? Well, in grim darkness of the far future there is only war, to steal a quote from a favored SF setting of mine.
