Tonight on Nat Geo, 9:00pm a new, six part docu-series on what life will be like a million years from now.

From the Nat Geo Channel:
What was once conceived as science fiction is now anchored in reality. Year Million, a new six-part documentary-drama series from National Geographic, explores what it will be like to be human one million years into the future. Today’s brightest futurists, scientists, scholars and notable science fiction writers guide viewers through the very latest advances in technology, ideas and innovations that likely will power the evolution of our species. Through illustrative, dramatic storytelling, Year Million paints a version of humanity’s fate through the lens of a typical futuristic American family, which includes a daughter who is android. The series propels us into an odyssey of unfathomable choices humans will face while questioning the kind of lives we’ll live and the people we’ll become a million years from now. Year Million imagines a future when mortality becomes a thing of the past; man merges with machine; intelligence is limitless; and the human species becomes interplanetary. The series predicts how every aspect of technology may affect our lives, for better or worse.

I loved it! Gosh, those AIs are almost real! Looks like Terminator will become reality one day. Lazy mankind will reap what they are sowing.

I loved it too. This is too mind boggling for me, but fascinating.
We probably won't see too much of it in our lifetime, and I guess I am grateful for that.
I recorded the series so I will watch the whole thing.

Too mind boggling for me too, Tom but I sure enjoy (ed) it. I agree, not so much in our lifetime, maybe more in the couple of decades that you are younger than me and I think I am going to be glad of that. Unless I need a personal assistant to help me through the more Golden Years I may have left!

I have already forgotten, what day and time is it on?

You're not that old Tamz, not by a long shot. I think though we will see some major changes though in our life time.

Set your dvr to Monday nights at 9:00 on the Nat Geo Channel.

I'm really surprised not many people watching this, just me, you and Jim

Interesting tonight if a bit "out there". I would NOT want to live forever in some digital form. Anyway, we all know what happened to the Krell. Monsters from the id and all that.
