Wow, this thread is full of "blah blah blah" chatter.
To sum up the OP: What do you think the future of global society looks like?
I have 3 answers....and all 3 will be bigger tomorrow than they are today....
1. Artificial Intelligence (the hype/scare today is big time about this one)
2. Solar Power (and wind to a lesser extent, FF are dead, starting with coal and ending with natural gas)
3. Quantum computers (imagine a future that merges AI with QC? God help us all !!!)
