One other thing i was thinking about as far as food goes and that is maybe in the future they'll create food that can grow with little amount of water in arid locatiions and crop seeds might be created to produce huge amounts of food crops. Remember the couple of episode's in Star Trek when Kirk would eat in his quarter's and he had 3 pieces of 1''x1'' square food cubes and so he put them in a microwave looking contraption and pressed the button and 3 seconds later there was a plate of chicken with mash potatoes, gravy, vege's etc..on a plate and a glass of red wine ....lol.....
Anyway i think in the future they will solve our food and water shortages for the planet.

HAHAHAHA! No, I meant that I would like extreme longevity and would have no feelings of guilt about it. Barring some unforeseen accident or fatal illness, it's entirely possible I may see 100 (based on my family's history of longevity). To me, watching the future unfold is full of interesting and incredible surprises. Some of it good, some not.
Exactly what solutions humanity will achieve remains to be seen. The solutions of the future are always (in one way or another) based on the things done in the present. Without our ancestors, we wouldn't exist. And without us, regardless of all our mistakes and shortcomings, there would be no future for humanity.
