That's a really long time to forecast for. Probably Doctor Who.

I want your thoughts and ideas, hence why I am not doing a poll Personally, I think we are getting close to were Firefly is, maybe where the UNSC from Halo is as well (sans FTL travel.) None of them. Really. We will probably surpass what most of them have, tech wise, within the next 100 years. 500 Years from now.. probably more of a biblical kind of thing. |

500 Years? Do you know how long that is in technological development time? Where were we 100 years ago?
500 Years is unimaginable. |

Ironman suits on the shelf at walmart, 3000 calorie meals in bite sized treat. Cancer is treated like the common cold, obamacare has perfected sex changes and men can conceive babies anally, unfortunately they all smell like shit when they come out.

Right now, block chain apps. Fifty years from now, longevity treatments. Mind uploading or AI before the end of the century, which will skip past obsolescence to make meat-based decision makers, armies, and economies irrelevant.

Well if we get AI like in Terminator or BSG - we probably will not be around to see it.
I doubt we will have a natural resource catastrophe, but we could also nuke ourselves back to the stone age. Then there is the matrix to consider - the perfect drug. |

500 years ago top-tier technology consisted of movable type and matchlock firearms. Now we have energy guns mounted on naval vessels and computers with access to nearly the sum of human knowledge that we can carry around in our pockets. I don't see how we could possibly forecast that far out.

500 years? Maybe a Blade Runner style future. Not so much dystopian, but that computers are seemlessly integrated in all aspects of our lives, human-like robots, etc
I don't see us in space other then by exception. I don't see FTL even close to being in existence. MAYBE a trip to Mars by then. We have enormous technological plateaus to hurdle before we could do anything. |

IMO in 500 years, Gene Roddenberry's vision will look timid. This is what "the future" looked like to 19th century futurists: In 500 years, our predictions from today will look far stranger than Steam Punk looks to us today. |
