realistically, what do you expect the future to be like? in 10 years, in 20 years, in 50 years, in 100 years, etc...

The previous 100 years of human development has made the last 100,000 years seem like nothing. In 100 years we went from riding horses to riding to the moon. I definitly agree with you that its an interesting time to be alive, in fact in my opinion its the most interesting part of our human history up until this point. we are learning to co-exist together and with our environment, however bad things might look at the moment. the world is shrinking every day and our inter-connectedness is going to blossom and allow humanity a prosperity that has not been known up till this point. The next 100 years, imo, are going to make the last 100 years look like childsplay. right now, however, is a critical point, a transition point, where a new paradigm is going to emerge that will totally transform humanity. thats what i think.
