    As time moves on, we realize that what we took for normal was just strange. Less than a hundred years ago, doctors were advising people to use heroin, coca-cola contained trace amounts of cocaine, there were many strange and unusual contraptions that people would use on a regular basis.

    One hundred years from now, what will people look back at and wonder, "what the hell were they doing?"?

    I think one hundred years from now water will be a pretty valuable commodity, and the folk then won't be able to fathom how we wasted it, polluted it, and (almost) got it for free.


    Water will be the new oil I believe. Countries will fight wars over water reserves.

    Eh, if we last another hundred years we'll probably have fully functioning fusion power, at which point de-salinating water becomes fairly trivial.

    In on hundred years they'll wonder why we didn't use hydrogen cell power for our cars that is commonplace then.


    The they'll have that collective *ah* moment and remember the discovery of the Illuminati at the highest echelons of society. People will wonder how we did not see it sooner, I mean hello Taylor Swift did where red at the VMAs. :p
