Post #5 - The Future

            There’s no telling what the future will hold, really.  Even in recent history we’ve seen a boom in technology, and there’s no sign of it stopping.  In the next hundred years, I expect a lot to change not only with tech, but also with government and society.  Right now, we are limited to how much we can do because our current infrastructure and availability of resources.  In the future, we should see entirely new laws and regulations as things like flying cars become an everyday commodity.  We’ll have highways way up in the sky filled with hovering vehicles.  Our current democracy will be revamped as people’s political views begin to change.  Perhaps we will have more governmental control as people are given more technology.  Maybe we’ll shift to an entirely liberal society wherein anything goes and people are all expected to peaceful coexist; like having people sit in a circle singing Kumbaya.  However, if we continue to fight and go to war, there’s no doubt that at some point we will have to live in fear of what may happen to us.  Just like during the cold war, people will have to constantly be ready for anything from a bombing to a nuclear holocaust.  We’ll be perfectly free to do as we please, ad be more advanced than ever, but our perfect little world may not be so perfect underneath all the smoke and mirrors.
