Fill me in Grim as I think that you think that its National Drink and Talk like a Pirate day, only early.

I don't normally like to polls from /. much, but this one is NEAT.cwapface said:boo slashdot
MCD, I'm not sure what you are looking for - if you woke up tomorrow and it was the year 2105, what technology area would you look into first?
I should have made an option for "Tech? wtf are you talking about? I'd go get LAID!!!"

Medical stuff first, want to get my ass immunized to all the nasty shit that will be around by then...
after that, THEN I can worry about pimp rides, antigrav, and sex-bots.

For now it's cars, since I'm most familiar with them vs. the other choices. Yes, I know they would be different a century from now, but I'd know some history on them.
I'd like to earn a college degree some day so hopefully I'll learn something about the rest of those.

Cars cause maybe by then my supra would be running again or they would have the technology to get it running and keep it running

Only 100 years?
Let's see, clothes would be like the 1960's again, either that or Members Only jackets would be vouge, and the 80's hair rules again. (Mullets galore.)
PC's would be museum pieces. I think devices like cell phones will take over that role as new GUI's are developed that allow for speach based use, and the need for a qwerty is eliminated. Perhaps something that tracks your eyes on the screen and allows you to navigate the system that way.
Hopefully the environmentalist/global warming caste will have gone the way of the dodo bird, but I'm sure some new "fear" will have come along to pre-occupy our minds when we are not using them for work or play.
I think I would look into a quick report of history, and then get on the lecture circut and start making money talking about sleeping for 100 years, and write some books. (Well, whatever they are going to call written material 100 years from now.)
Will we even have written material like we do today? Why not speach capable mini computers that are everything in one small package. It can connect you to the world, all you need to do is say "do it."
I'm assuming FTL includes space travel, so I'd go there. Always wanted to see the stars and other places off world... LOL

No doubt, IJ would be building a propane powered FTL vehicle with thermal coatings and a new head with perfect Rockwell hardness ratings.... LOL
Sorry man, could not resist...
Besides, I'd be right there trying to stroke the FTL drive while adding even more coatings to get just that extra bit of speed...

Miggles/Adjuster: LMAO!
I'd be just completing this build by then!
(My Shimless buckets will have just arrived from Japan)
