it's really cool to think about the future, even if it is kinda disturbing. like some people mentioned, how autechres albums sound like the takeover and evolution of machines. what do you think the world will be like in say, the year 4000? be creative, and realistic at the same time. it's almost beyond comprehension....what the distant future holds.

i think that pretty soon every thing that can be invented, will hae been invented, technology will reach its limit and everything will stay exactly the same.....except of cource for the amount of food, that will continue to dwindle tilll we all die

we cannot predict how the world will look like in a year 4000. too distant date- but i think there wont be any intelligent lifeforms on our planet- nuclear powers are our curse...

Whatever it'll be, it'll be as "real" as the present is now. The present already seems "futuristic". It'll be the same except more fucked up.
The ecosystems/lifestyles/culture are in a realm that is an evolutionary leap ahead of our lagging biological selves. Overpopulation must be dealt with in one way or another, and I don't reckon colonizing planets will be a reasonable option.

and sooner or later human kind will not be human-looking at all. we will be getting our fragile bodies replaced little by little by machines. and of course nanotechnology will be very important one these days.

the earth is in exactly the middle of its life cycle.....in a few billion years there will be no more humans, but some other animal must have evolved into intellagent life by then, and they may dig up human artifacts and wonder what kind of life we lead, and base their teachings around our ideals.....

Yeah, we'll have to use technology if we want to modify our biology, it's not like we let natural selection work anymore for us. Mutations will continue to occur though, as they always have, they'll just pile up, lots and lots of weird ones, and since most mutations are harmful (what chance would a mutation happen to be beneficial... small) it doesn't look good. I've very pessimistic about the future, I refuse to reproduce myself.

maybe birds? they re totally different form us- mammals and birds take their beginning independent from each other from reptiles.

I don't want to be part of a species who's direction seems to be the destruction of beauty...

natural selection is not workong for us humans anymore- it is not the enviroment which changes us- we are changing it.
