The year 3000

[Stampede]

Don't give it another thought. ;) Simple mix up.

I like the integration of electronics with our own race, the only problem, is that then not only would we have to worry about biotic threats but also computer-like threats. Not just viruses and malware, but simple hardware/firmware/OS problems(and bad code)

Except that by then, we'd have created true adaptive AI, so the software will be able to defend itself from viruses like our immune system. The software will adapt to virus threats and get rind of them itself. Obviously the hardware and software will be throughly tested for bugs and the like; that's just common sense.

I'm sure they'll do as thorough a job checking for bugs as the military does with their robotic anti-aircraft cannons. I'm not going to comment on the idea of a computerized "immune system," since that falls under your previous musing -- every single instance of malware doing real damage to a computer has been facilitated solely by errors in programming or operating some piece of software on that system.

I presume i will be dead, for sure. probably most of you, as well.maybe not my grandson if i have one tho :biggrin:

What? Do you expect you, your child, and your grandchild to all live for over 330 years, each?

Bear in mind that a generation is typically 20-30 years. 50 would be pushing it.

I don't think we'll collonise other planets, unless this happens. Space takes too much time to cross and you can't go faster than the speed of light. It would take the time between now and the year 3000 to reach a star a thousand light years away, which is nothing in the void of space. However, we could use the 'domes' theory, and completely simulate the temperature, gravity, air levels (an alternative to oxygen?), and more.

 

I think if we don't collonise another planet the world will become a urbanated to the brink of extinction (Corusant just doesn't work).

Can't go faster than light speed WITH present technology. I don't think it's that far-fetched to think we will have hyper-engines, warp drive, jump drives, or some other FTL tech within a few hundred years. I imagine that by 3000, we will definitely be a space-faring culture.

The earth itself, now that I couldn't say. It may even be turned into a giant "National Park" preserve.

I'm pretty sure we going to nuke this world.....

[Biocontrol]

Realistically, probably none of the above. Either a nuclear wasteland, or more probably some other paradigm-like occurrence that leaves the world completely different than the world we now know.

Hi!

 

Why I can thing about year 3000?

Today is Go's Gift! So Enjoy Life!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was reading through some old comic books and came acrossed one called "Robin 3000" and I thought to myself "what a strange time period" Nobody ever talks about Y3k. I seriously wonder if the human race will even make it that long.

 

Lets say we get cryo-froze and we wake up a thousand years from now like futuramma. What do you think the world will be like? With the way I see things going now in the world I think we would step out of the chamber and choke and die in a world devoid of a life sustaining enviroment.
