My wife is always so nostalgic about the "good old days"
-- I always think, "what was so good about them?"

Maybe less polution and less crime -- maybe. But I believe during the industrial revolution, companies dumped waste right into the rivers. And the wonderful world of dentistry was not so wonderful -- "here, bite down on this stick."

Now when you want food, you go to the store and buy whatever you want, no hunting for food or trading -- life is easy now, more comfortable than ever. Air conditioning, music, movies on demand, remote control.

I think in the future a lot of diseases will be cured -- Alzheimers, Parkinsons, various Cancers, Aids, etc... It will take time, but that's what we have in the future -- unless Global Warming kills us all. [:D][;)]

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but with the curing of all those diseases would come a serious population problem among the elderly. As it is we won't get any social security.

Anyway we don't really know if we will make progress in the future. It could end up like Mad Max for all we know.

Shouldn't we have had jet packs by now?

I couldn't believe it lasted a whole 46 minutes without a comment. That was the fastest I've ever typed. [:D]

No need, here's my peak at the year 2106:

The average life expectancy will be 30...that's when the red dots in our palms start flashing and we go off to get "renewed", unless you try to escape to Sanctuary (if you ignorant sheep believe in that sorta thing).[/quote]When I got to the flashing dots I started to crack up. Too Funny Blir!

I'm just amazed at the prices of everything and how high they have gotten. Doesnt the world have the same amount opf everything we did back then? So why is everything so much more? I feel a conspiracy theory coming on!
