well, this might be a good topic for you sci-fi types out there with a strong imagination, let alone the mindset from the music by which this community is based.
so what ideas or concepts do you think could be fit fore the future in general?

people have already managed to teleport a particle today, but we're not talking about teleporting entire bodies! that won't happen, or at least not until a very long time....
maybe: there will be "e-books" in addition to normal books (but normal books won't disappear, never or at least not until a very long time)... lots of new devices for handicaped and ill people will be invented... there will be more and more old people, they'll end up more numberous than young and "normal-aged" people... we will work for longer and longer... as for music, maybe experimental music/noise will become more and more popular, there will be a time when it will be trendy (then it will be something else)... there will be futuristic devices for relaxing, having fun, between work during breaks etc, like maybe masks you put on and which deliver pheromones or waves or something that makes you relax... the governments everywhere will have more and more problems, there will be a risk of fascism rising again (i hope not, but seeing how far-right is rising now in europe in general, i'm quite anxious about this)... there might be a political crisis, and yes, maybe WWIII (not the album, it's already out - the real war =P) because of this again... the weather changes, summers will be getting hotter and hotter, maybe snow will disappear in winter too (too bad), but maybe we could have artificial snow in some places... we won't have iced grounds in winter either, that on the other hand would be a good thing - we will have found a solution to wipe it out... maybe, in some times, all countries "modern" and "industrialized" etc. today will rise their peak then fall, it will all go berserk, and at the end it will be crisis - whereas the countries today poor/in devlopement, like in Africa, will have devloped and will be in the end in better situation than us...

...or maybe, Mariah Carey will show her true self and transform into a giant creature with a black shiny exoskeleton like an insect, claws, three breasts, and a passion for minimalist experimental free jazz from the 1980's, George Washington will rise from the dead and accidentally spread his undeadness everywhere, we will all be contaminated, mutate into zombies and be killed by Jill Valentine and her teammates, who will at the end destroy earth and go to another planet with Mariah Carey (who will have renamed herself +-;'.-. ++-+-) to found a new civilization again! this other planet will be covered with strange trees and purple water, and there will be marine panda-like creatures... there will be a factory implanted, all humans will be synthetic made in a factory with a randomizer so it would be like real... everyone will be listening to anti-music, made of deeper and lower anti-noise "hypersilences"... but there will be a bug somewhere in the new year 254, so that there will be 217 people looking exactly the same with the same ideas and those persons will look like George W. Bush with dreadlocks... and then, in new year 375, people will become all more nihilist than ever, pirates will destroy the world and the whole universe will be taken by pirates. yarrrrrr!!!

Everything will be wireless (even power). Computers are a part of you, your body or your clothes. The display is a pair of glasses where there is a little laser in each side of them, shooting the image directly into your eye so you get a kind of 'full screen picture' directly on your eye. There will be no picture-frame, and you will feel one with the computer.
Illegal files will be outlawed in such way that a whole new non-commercial "internet" broke free. Here information is free, but still prosecuted by RIAA as they try to point the finger.
Genetically changed humans will be more a reality than a tabu. Sickness will stop to exist, and the government will have the dilemma of extreme overpopulation.
Public transport and cars will almost stop existing when internet becomes our real world.

I dont think the world is going to be in such a mess as Sci Fi movies lead us to beleive.
I think a huge chunk of humans are gonna die, but the more people who die the better the environment will get and shit. So like if WW3 breaks out Im thinking it would for the best.

A genetically modified virus could easily wipe us all out any time from now - Pestinance is getting dangerously close these days!
I've always had this idea that there'll be an incredibly realistic virtual reality device and it'll probably be banned cos of people losing touch with reality and not wanting to leave and getting fuked up doing warped things in these virtual game things... Then it'll mix with drug culture and go underground and kids'll be taking some new designer drug hallucinogen type thing and tripping in these fuked up virtual worlds with their mates all living out bazzar fantasies and only ever entering 'reality' to score more drugs and eat junk food - Your mind would get warped in no time - You'd come to think of the VR world as the only real world and everyday life would be like a desparate dream state that you just wanna get out of as quick as possible...
The state of mind to embrace that world is already enveloping us - 1 in 10 japanese teens-early20's has Hikikomori - Which means they NEVER leave their bedroom - They just play Playstation 24/7 - Don't see anyone EVER - Don't even leave to eat - Shit out the window - Well maybe they go to the bathroom, but that's IT - 1 in 10! That's bad! It's a sign of what happens when society speeds up faster than we can deal with...

Have you seen "Equilibrium"? Criminally underatted film with excellent fight scenes. Stars Sean Bean and Christian Bale.
It has a nice retro styling to it, despite being set in the future. Not unlike Gattaca...
J Swift: Hmm, the mindset of thinking of the virtual world as the real isn't that far off... I'm sure I'm not the only one who upon becoming engrossed in a new game finds dealing with the neccessities of life a distraction. Answering the phone, going to the toilet, even eating and drinking are things you are reluctant to do.

i don't know how the future will turn out, one thing i know for sure is it will be different. we will be streamlined into genderless bodies serving the function of reproducing and continuing our mentality and its evolution rather than our physical continuance. old systems will fall, some will only seem to change but stay the same. society will become seamlessy intergrated, no boundaries or layers, just a great pool of a like species striving for a common existence. we will continue to get closer to true world peace. this is an illusion though, because peace is not possible in an existence that is protected by ending another's existence. the basic instincts we operate on, and sadly are slave to, requires the purposefull domination of another, wether it be another species or the same. this will bother our highly advanced people in the future, they will be discontent and will eventually legalize human cloning. this process will lead to a perfected art of removing our ancestorial instincts from our dna pool thus generating a new breed of human. this human knows hate and fear, they are important balancing constructs of our psyche, but we will no longer feel the urge or desire to exercise these things. priorities will change. we will change with them. as time passes and we begin seeing positive results of our societies change, we will begin planning for the continuation of our species in the case of the planet being under threat of comet-hail, etc. this will lead us to using our cloning and gene-design&construction skills to begin a (backup) species so to speak on anoher planet, leaving them with hints&clues that will cause them to wonder where they came from. the reason they left little hints, is because the advanced breed, the future us, knows that once you discover all for what it really is, existence itself and the drive for life seems to loose its reason. this brings us back to our current state, we are right now in 2003 a backup species created by a more advanced ve

Í think the world will just slip slowly into anarchy and chaos. People will just stop caring and bring their demise upon themselves. It's quite obvious really...
Either that or a huge meteorite will hit Earth demolishing humankind. Whichever comes first:)

Yah, and notice how the arms are longer than the legs? And how one leg is shorter than the other? That means we'll all be living in trees soon, swinging from branch to branch, like baboons, trust me. Haha:)
No seriously I think everything will be allright. There might be a large catastrophe soon but in the long run the long downhill that we're in right now will turn upwards. It's statistically quite probable:)

wow, this is quite some feedback =)
there are some things i sorta came up with, but i haven't thought of a particular setting on a universal scale.
1) "blooming" buildings - structures capable of physically rising up out of the ground and back down in cycles. i guess they could also be called "living skyscrapers."
2) mini-UAV security - small robotic UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that'll patrol cities and track down the nearest disturbances and alert security personnel or even apprehend suspects on their own.
3) lethal weapons banned and obsolete; stunguns and other non-lethal weapons replace them.
4) ion dye pen - special pen that can write on surfaces without physical contact, enabling users to write from a distance.
5) genetic data used as code in special computers.
6) "designer babies" widespread; genetic illnesses aborted.
just to name a few..
