[QUOTE="Henry@home, post: 114228, member: 159"] UD Said... Actually, are you aware that during the Stock Market recession of 2000-2001, More money was lost than the ENTIRE G.N.P. of France???? Utrecht said: Utrecht is on to some good ideas here. Multi-national corporations will hold much political and autonomic power in the future, but they will not hold enough clout and capital to subsume governments unless something truly catastrophic were to wipe out ALL Governmental control and leave a massive power vaccuum that a Military leader cannot fill. I truly doubt we will ever see portable rayguns and teleporters - the real sci-fi stuff. However, we are one or two tests away from human clones and regrowing someone's organs from their DNA [i]Right Now[/i]. Given the limited success of artificial hearts and kidneys, etc. We will likely see plausible biogenetic engineering before we see cybernetics. Albeit we might be seeingcrude cybernetics at a far future point. Machine and man are very, very difficult to marry, but genetically engineered people carrying OICW's (is that right?) with exploding mini-grenades and high-speed caseless ammo would not be that far-fetched. Extremely powerful computers would become watch-sized and able to access any database with voice or maybe even thought-interface with the screen on the insides of sunglasses that provide starlight scope vision (or screw the starlight sunglasses - we are born with it by this time! :) Drugs - Drugs - lots of DRUGS! Speed you up, slow you down, pick you up, drop you quick, inst-kill, bring-you-back-from-the-brink DRUGS! Although side effects are a must! In the real world, where even things as simple as aspirin STILL have side effects, that we've know about for a century! IN short, it starts turning from Cyberpunk, to Spycraft 2020. :) [/QUOTE]
