Hmm. I've only really realized this now, but everyone is so horribly pessimistic about the future in the Escapist. So horribly depressed you all are.
Nonetheless, technology will continue to advance at the steady state it's been going at, namely, miniaturization. Things getting smaller and smaller, people getting interconnected through the internet, and things basically being easier for everyone involved. Human nature will continue as it always has, being a mix of what society would say is good and evil. However, the form of this will change, as with every generation, finding a new outlook on how to express the inherent grayness of human nature. We won't become a utopia, but is is highly unlikely we destroy ourselves. At the very least, the people who are in the position to do so aren't stupid enough to do it. The masses are ultimately meaningless in this situation, besides the whole public opinion thing.
