Hey, I love futurology, so I thought it might be fun imagining what life would be like in the year 3006, the fourth millenium. Inventions, daily life, technology, society, and whatnot..

We can't stick to any topic.....it's impossible....cyberally impossible

yeah, I guess..

Yeah, why do you think this is called offtopic?..=) Geez, you sure expect a lot from simple Caedesians!..=P

Gee..sounds like you are one of those simple caedesians..lol

Ok Noor..just think about this...this discussion board is called "offtopic" does ur brain think of anything? basically one thread could have the topic changed w/one comment...@least that's how I see it and anyway that happens a lot :D

yeah, that's true.. I myself sorta changed the topic with the comment on simple caedesians..lol.

Yeah, so what about the future? It'll be just like the Jetsons! LOL! I can hardly wait for flying cars and automatic dogwalkers. D'oh!! I won't be around then..never mind=P

Yeah, but in Back to the Future II, all those happened in only 9 years from now..
I would love telekinetic powers..

I dunno, I think flying around with a jetpack would be pretty cool!!..=D

yeah, until you fall off.. :D

Fall off what?..=P

ur jetpack lol that's b kinda messy wen ur high

It'd be kinda messy even if you weren't high, don'tcha think?..=P

yeah..what about no more heavy books to carry around..just a laptop with CDs, and e-books, emailing the teacher the HW,..IMing friends

well, that sounds a heck of alot like modern day life.... 8 year olds in school with laptops, and calculators are OK in math class now... boggles the mind....

Now when I was in school... you had your pencil bag, and your rubber strap to bind your books together so you could walk to school (backpacks wern't in back then). Winter was kind of rough though, when your friends would convince you to put your tongue on the metal light post. And don't forget the 10 mile walk through 5 feet of snow, going uphill (Both ways I might add), that was a killer too..:oP

In June !

Grrrrr. You guys are trying to sound as old as me.. I did have to walk to school, half a mile.. One room school, grades K through 8.. One teacher.. I really don't care about the future.. It's all I can do to make it through today..

I spent half my school years in a school where no calcs, no backpacks were needed, and really hard examinations..lots of memorizing and writing....guess where that school was.

*sings* 'We all live, in Future World, one that's full of joy! A future life will be glorious.....'

Yea right, heard that song before.. Think it was the prez that sang it the other night..

actually its by Helloween

yeah, the prez of the "We Love the Future Club"..

Yeeesh, dont get me started...
First of all everyone will be brain dead because no one knows how to use their brains anymore, they let the robots and computers do it. I'm one of those who actually kinda liked the thought of Y2K...force everyone to go back to doing work the old fashioned way. I'm not much for the future, to me it seems bleak...technology everywhere and nature nowhere.

well, we'll still have pictures of trees and flowers on holo-vids.. hehe

I heard about holographic 3d stamps too

Hah. the future will consist of bleak landscapes and dead cities, miles of cracked glass blanketing the ground and the acrid reek of radiation poisoning. As Albert Einstein said, "I know not what weapons world war three will be fought with, but world war four will be fought with sticks and stones." And the way we're going WW3 doesnt seem too far off. In times where a man like Bush can rule a nation the end of humanity doesnt seem too far off.

The year ... 3006 ... the rulers ... Caedesians, who have been holed up in a remote cabin and now ... fully fortified by a continual diet of SPAM emerge onto the bleak landscape and start to repopulate it with some rather stunning holographic visuals.

More serious ... I am disheartened to think that the concentration of wealth will be even more so in the future. Private three tier systems abound for the wealthy, wealthiest and the almighty god rich for every service imaginable. No ... wait ...

... I have hope ... I have hope that this generation will not be as subservient nor as tolerant to the abuses of political regimes, or their puppetmasters.

Oh, and lets not forget the perfect society of cloned people, which of course, will only come about after another WW to determine what the perfect human species would be... Afterall, without the diversity we have now, a cloned society could do away with racism, homophobia and numerous other social idioms.

Just think of how happy we could all be *group hug*

(*sings*) ... 'it's a small world decimated by thermo-nuclear war, after all' ...

Ok guys, I have the solar panels ready on the cabin to give us unlimited energy until the huge dust cloud from the nuclear bombs clouds it...but until then, our pc's will be powered so we can still whore the only web site left after the war...Caedes. I may have to create some bio-dome, cuz even high in the mountains, we may get toxic fallout...and just so you guys know...my cabin is available to you all BUT you must love cats as mine will be there with me...but I have plenty of SPAM to sustain us for many years, and 100+ gigs of illegally downloaded blues, jazz, classic rock, RnB, funk, soul...you name it, at least we'll have tunes to groove to. So the future may not be that bleak after all.

My cats will be there too, as well as my dog.. Never fear.. I will teach you all how to bake yourr own bread and grow yourr own vegetables.. Musn't forget the cows and goats.. We will need the milk and cheese as well as the beef.. Better throw in a couple of sheep for the wool.. Don't forget the chickens.. Going to need eggs.. I know how to do all these things, so we'll be ok.. I am a good teacher.. Mom will be there too and she cant each everyone how to give good haircuts, as she had her own beauty school for many years.. See we can live just fine..

Well then Ann, I will leave you in charge of organizing our retreat from the future craziness that awaits. I fully expect you to crack the whip on Keith though, he can sometimes be a slacker and goofball (most likely due to the mushrooms going to his head)...we must prepare!!! And chickens are fine as long as they aren't cow loving chikins... :-)

I'll make sure of that.. No cowloving Chickens.. I'll put Keifer in charge to taking care of the cows..

Does that mean I get to play with the chickens?

I don't even want to hear the word 'mucking' mentioned in my responsiblities please ... please?

I volunteer Les for the "Mucking out the stables" duty... BTW my favorite chicken, Buk-buk-buk-becky, likes to have her coop cleared out by noon... she gets a wee bit uppity and can't lay any eggs if its too dirty... thank ya & toodles

*Tossin out feed*
"Here chick-chick-chik..."

You want chickens, Curt.. You got em..

Nutz ... foiled once again.

(*dons the goggles, gloves, air tank and hazardous waste suit*) ... ok, I'm goin' in ...

Les you will be our most valued person at the retreat...without you shoveling sh*t (which you must admit, you are already pretty darn good at doing), the chickens would be unhappy and so no eggs, the cows would be sad so no milk...and without eggs and milk, how will Ann be able to make us yummy breads and cakes...so Les, you have a very important job, and are valued greatly for doing it. So hold your head high, stand proud, and yell to the world "I'm up to here with BS"

Isn't just a dear, Jenn.. What would we do with out him..

Now shoveling Keith's BS, that's a different job altogether!! :-) Whoever gets that job gets extra chocolate pudding!!!

Ohhh nooo ... the combined visuals of that ... oh my, the freudian slips are showing again. :P

Make mine vanilla please. Lol.

3006.....A new heaven and a new earth.
