Man, it is 2004 and there are still no killer-robots, no flying cars, no Y2k4… I mean, where is everything? I heard so many times, that the end of the world will be on 2000, that Jesus Christ will come to us, and so on. Plus, I want some god damn aliens here! Where are they? What about time machines!!! Man, that stupid kid from Back to Future got his time car (ha ha) in 1985! Argh…

This century sure is one big disappointment.
 
didn't u hear? Valve was responsible for making sure the world got those :D oooOOOOoooo burn!
 
But I hoped at least for Y2k, and it didn’t come!

We are doomed… how this will help us against asian.. I mean alien invaders?

Now I just picture a FOX show that's "suvival of the fittest baby" where they just pit babies against each other in armed combat.

haha omg yeah, that sounds like something fox would do.
 
Maybe ill stop shooting at the aliens so they will land and get reek. I mean I know that I pizzed them off by lighting there flying sausers up with with some 00 buck from my shotgun.

Wile lil timmy is driving up to the mountains in his segway ill be living the life of luxory in my underwater fortress. :)
 
Do you know what I believe, I will tell you then :

I read in Religious Books that God created 8 Races, 6 of them has vanished of the earth and that was 1000000S of years ago; The last two Races called HumanKind(US) and Gins(Devils). These two came to earth after Adam's fault. Anyway I believe that the stories of Men saw Aliens are real, what they realy saw is GINS(Devils). Another story that happend in Egypt and is still happning, some Voddoo men read a small text of Hebrow magic writing at 12.00 midnight and after 5 min pass midnight one small looking Alien pop up in the room and Asked the men "How can I serve you" The men asked him to give them some Alien blood.....I forgot the story. What I want to say is that ALIENS are real and they are Gins(DEVILS). :(

PS: Never read real magic Hebrow text at 1200 midnight. :(
 
the aliens will only come once the human race has achieved a state of perfection (the release of HL2). so expect something to happen around april time.

but go back 10 year to 1994, that time period seems almost backwards to me now. the way everything was done, the way people think, the technology we had available to us. so yeah we're making progress, it's just hard to notice it unless you take a step back and look at the whole picture.
 
Y'know what's really awesome? Going from hopping around in flimsy paper and wood contraptions to landing on the moon in only about... oh, what is it, sixty years? Seventy?

Neat, huh? Imagine where we'll be in just another twenty.
 
yeah it was around 69/70 years, but the two world wars had a lot to do with that advancement in technology. personally, i think a human will set foot on mars in the next 20 years. the moon landing was in 1969, and the mars landing could be in 2020, that's only 51 years. of course that's only speculation.
 
Hmm i think mad cow disease is an alien viral infection (note: cow mutilations) since mad cow can incubate in the human brain without a sign for up to 20 years i think, we will all discover that everyone on the planet is deadly sick with mad cow (cjd prions not only come from eating but can be transferred through medical equipment, since it can't be destroyed by freezing, burning, or any known medication) plus all the other products that use "cow parts" in around 10 years we will know that everyone is sick and will die soon from the alien virus. Then the aliens will take over our planet and live here. Better strategy than attacking us head on right? Considering if they did that we would use nuclear weapons and anything else we have in an order to destroy them thus destroying the planet that they want to inhabit.

Jan. 22 — Mad cow disease is so terrifying and perplexing that some researchers have begun to believe it could have alien origins.

hahahah damn aliens

Experts say these types of diseases are not caused by a virus or a bacteria, but apparently by a mutant protein that is so tough, you can freeze it, burn it, even zap it with radiation and still not kill it. The fear is that the new strain was somehow linked to infected beef.

hahahah my crack pot theory has scared everyone away, i rule.
 
I think everyone is just so shocked at how amazing it is....Or possibly you did scare them.

In the future there will be robots! At least thats what Vice City tells me and i believe everyhting i hear in that game.


Now im jsut off to kill some haitians.
 
KILL THE HAITIANS, cough, uh i mean robots are cool. Skynet will become self aware next month, everybody drink uo!
 
LOL, Innervision!

But indeed Mr. Reak has a point. And if that Titor guy was right it's going to be even more boring in the far future..

But if you think of what we've done in just a century (1900) I can't possibly imagine what will happen this century. My biggest hope is that we'll become space nomads in giant ships , flying to escape earth when the sun is melting it and it'll be all chilled and awesome.
 
Read my post again.. I said "the sun is melting IT" , i.e the Earth , the sun is melting the earth ffs when it grows..
 
Sorry! Anyway, by the time the sun actually melts earth, this conversation will ahve happened billions of years ago.
 
I think the mars landings will be in 50 years time, it will take alot of new tech to get there and back again.
 
Not if I can help it! All you need is a classic 1942 Hawker Hurricane! NEeeeeeeooooww! Brrrrrmmmm! Ratatat! Brrrr! Mars or Bust! Neeeeoooooowwww! Wheeeeeee!

Ahem.
 
Don't worry guys, the Mayan calendar ends on December 27, 2012. Thats not really good news actually because the Mayan's really knew their sh*t when it came to astronomy (and they didn't have such sophisticated tools as we do 2500 years ago .. or did they??).
 
That might just mean that the mayan guy realized he was sort of wasting his time writing calendars several hundred years in advance of any possible application.

That's like predicting whether or not July 12th, 3042 will be a Wednesday. A tad pointless, if you ask me.
 
well if it keeps goin on like this ill get depressed. not that I am :)... but the future looks grim, its a harsh truth , but economic tension is growing between Major Major companies (the ones that run the world , oil, and all that crap), and come 2020, 2030 if we dont see anything happen before then its been calculated that an GeoEconomic collapse will happen, so not long to wait. it will all change soon, ( this is not speculation, allthough it is vague to some degree).. and a very nice reference for all your questions on the future, (pretty much sums it all up) is a book called 'the party's over' so if you want to see what trends and the predictable ways of the world will circum too pick up a copy.

The fact is technology comes in so slowly and over such a period of time that you dont notice. All you have to do is think back to 94, to see how much we've progressed in just a decade.
 
true but our progress in possesable technology has been held back some what, due to the 'milk it with one product and get as much money as we can' attitude, which is decieving as we probably are far more technologically advanced than the public is lead to believe. (like a string being fed to us. maybe with a piece of cheese on the end :P)

But damn, there still no killer robots, nor flying cars :)

I know, this post was sarcastic, a homage to all those all movies, where you seen 2000 year as a turning point in man history :)
 
No killer robots? What the hell was that under my bed then?

very true...... every day new technoligies are invented and introduced...... we are always improving on existing tech.


......your old laptop has more computing power than a supercomputer 30 years ago.
 
The question is: how do you market a killer robot? Or a jetpack for that matter?
Answer that and you just may get one. :)
 
Me...

So that's who stole all the lego...
Well, you could market a killer robot as one of those electronic room-guards. And jetpacks are useful for transportation and impressing lady-friends.
Oh, come on. The question isn't who would want killer robots and jetpacks, but who wouldn't want killer robots and jetpacks. Let's start a company for that very purpose. I'll design em, you build em. What do you say?
 
To be honest, that sounds stupid enough to work.
I mean, if you designed a mildly practical jetpack of any sort, people would love to buy it. It could be like getting an ATV or a snowmobile. :D

No, actually it seems they came up with the end date first then went backwards from that.
