I've just been wondering; "Why the hell has time gone so fast?" "Why can't we just slow down and let time do it's own thing? There will be society and the internet tomorrow. Who knows?
We'll open our eyes one day, and it's already 2030. Where will I be? Where will you be?
Other questions like:
•[b]Will we make it to Year 3000, or at the minimum, 2100?[/b] Or time would repeat and we'll be back, but maybe in a different timeline?
•[b]Will we finally gain powers usually seen in fictional shows, etc.?[/b]
•[b]Will a meteor hit us and we end up in a post-apocalyptic future?[/b]
•[b]What if we wake up a few hundreds years to the post-apocalyptic future, like Fallout or De[b]n[/b]sity? And we already have a multitude of superpowers.[/b]
•[b]Will I still be [u]erasing[/u] people?Will molasses cookies be long gone? Will G-lope still be declaring war?[/b]
•[b]When is Gamora?[/b]
[b]Have I gone mad?[/b] [u]No, you gone mad. Shut up.[/u]
I need some sleep....

[i]Will we make it to Year 3000, or at the minimum, 2100? [/i] 3000? I doubt it. 2100, our chances are good. It depends on if we can avoid being decimated by antibiotic-resistant superbugs, runaway nanotech (gray goo), or nuclear warfare. [i] Will we finally gain powers usually seen in fictional shows, etc.?[/i] Doubtful. Since those powers don't currently exist, the ability to genetically engineer them into our species won't either. [i]Will a meteor hit us and we end up in a post-apocalyptic future?[/i] Probably not from a meteor. I suspect we're more likely to die out from the three causes listed above. Lesser emergencies (global warming, overpopulation, etc) will simply cause large numbers of deaths without erasing civilization. Greater emergencies (creating an artificial black hole that devours Earth from the inside out) will not produce a post-apocalyptic world, they will simply annihilate everything. [i]What if we wake up a few hundreds years to the post-apocalyptic future?[/i] Then we'll probably be back in the 1800's, with basic tools, maybe electricity and running water. The infrastructure to computerize everything will probably take centuries to rebuild, and barbarians will probably not let us do so. Think "fall of Rome 2.0". [i]Will I still be erasing people?[/i] No. Since "erasing people" is undoubtedly an online thing you do, it will probably cease to exist. [i]Will molasses cookies be long gone? [/i] No. Anything available before WWI era will probably still be here. [i]Will G-lope still be declaring war? When is Gamora?[/i] Don't get the context.
