"Yup, its a barmy thing ain't it ;D
My own thoughts looking at the future is to do with thinking outside of the box. Forget where we are now and where we will be in 20 years time. Think about the enormous challengies, difficulties and decisions that our future generations in 50 decades time are goiing to have to take. Our current situation, thoughts and politics will be a long time dead by then.
500 years is 2 1/2 times the length of time since the industrial revolution started. Current thinking will be extinct. I'm not suggesting for one minute this is what I want to happen and would support. Its one of many different ways the world may change looking at it in 20 generations time."
Snowy, we won’t make your timescale – if we can beat global warming, :P I think we are heading for unprecedented global disorder within the next hundred years. There will not be enough food on the planet to feed the ever increasing population and more and more people will be living in poverty as a small minority get richer and richer.
A local Historian of the future, who survived the self-destruction of the planet, will find an old hard drive buried in the rubble somewhere on the outskirts of Trowbridge. Krzysztof will dust it down rig it up, get it working and unable to contain his excitement, he will shout, “Olenka, Olenka, ve mast cum cwickly and see dis, de WB mods banned redken1 for doom and gloom on dis tred, but his prophecy predicted all o dis!!!!! :P;D
