    So TV has moved to a point where it's mostly reality TV shows, what will dominate our TV screens next?
    Mobile phones, started the size of car batteries, then became pocket sized, then we got the flip phone and now we have the touch screen jobbies - what is the next fad for the mobile phone?
    Finally, facebook and twitter - sureley it is only a matter of time before they disappear and the new thing takes over?
    What do you think?

    Some kind of gamma-powered mechanical monsters with freeway on-ramps for arms and a heart as black as coal

    In the future there will be a new development in pornography, like 3D porn, only you'll be able to interact with the other person involved using sight, speech, smell, and even touch.

    I think they'll call it sex. or prostitution.

    The oil runs out, electricity becomes more expensive than gold. We all go back to the middle ages. I hope you know how to play a musical instrument and hunt for food!

    I think Wall-E had it right.

    I wouldn't call it stealing, as such. Still, any good ideas spring to mind?
