    The future...

    Bubblegum Crisis, Bladerunner, anything remotely Cyberpunk. Because that's the way things are going....

    Darker, with more corporate power and control.

    Why not. :confused: I think it's inevitable. in fact it seems it's already happening. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_implant.

    There is also a hybrid plane/car coming out shortly. Not quite a hovercar but getting there I would say.

    Burger King on the Moon, or maybe Mars.

    Transporter and Holographic technology is already been undertaken and is in it's infancy, in 30 years time who knows!!!

    A rolller coaster in space.....now that would be cool. Obviously we would need to be protected by the environment.

    Boards.ie in 3-D. :D
