Depends on how hard you are willing to work at it.

According to Bill Joy co founder of Sun Microsystems Nanotechnology will rise up and out of our control...I disagree since the technology is still on the drawing board and he's jumping to conclusions without factoring in human interaction and societal factors...so I see a complex future with governmental regualtions and social protests like such with the genetic engineering of produce.

I don't think it's too bright unless we make some drastic changes in the way we live and how we treat the environment. As is we are destroying our home daily, and the end will come sooner than we think, I believe.  Ultimately I think we will kill ourselves off. I don't believe human civilization will end by a giant meteor hitting or the sun expanding and enveloping the planet--I think we will kill ourselves off inadvertently long before anything else does.

The future is about possibilities, not certainty. Know what you want and create it. Be open to opportunity and seize it.

Well, I'll tell you my best guess and then in a million years, let me know if I turn out to be right.  I think we're going to be:\n\nBrown.  If we last another million years, we'll eventually all become the same color -- some shade of brown.  "White" and "Black" will refer only to colors and not races.  Even today, the advent of global communication and travel means that racial distinctions are being blurred.\n\nBigger.  First-world countries have higher average height and weight than their developing counterparts.  I suppose that this is a nutritional issue and not a genetic one.  But if we're still around in another million, it would be safe to assume that we've figured out our food production problems.\n\nPeaceful.  Chances are that we'll kill ourselves off before too long, but if we survive, we've beaten our own worst enemy -- ourselves.  This could go either way; peace might come only after death and destruction limit our ability to make war.\n\nAltered*.  This is the wild card, and it's a big one.  We're already on the cusp of genetic engineering already; sooner or later, we'll be able to basically choose what our offspring look like.  Who knows what will become stylish along the way?

There are a number of psychics and divination services out there that claim to be able to see the future. In my belief, a skilled individual can catch glimpses of it, but the future is fluid and always changing so what they see is not guaranteed to happen.

Light bright light bright making the world brighter with light bright

I think knowing there would be happiness would give hope in the sad times.  That would probably make it all ok.  But I have to admit, I like not knowing.  I may like the hope of possibility more than the hope of the definite.  And that makes me hopeful, since I can't be guaranteed anything.  Hmmm... I may have answered my own question that is completely different than this one.  Wow.  That is amazing.

The future of the United States is bright, indeed.  I had doubts a short while back, but people are remembering how to speak up.\nWe will always be powerful, perhaps the top superpower, but we will never try to stop someone from being more successful if they have their people's interests at heart.  Oh, we'll protect our interests, but we have always cheered the success of other countries who serve their people first and their ideology last.   Should everyone be a capitalist, a representative democratic republic?  I don't think so, but there are going to be more, and we'll have to compete with them, and I'll love every second of it.  Competition that isn't based on the slavery of a people (like China is close to) is to be commended and encouraged.\n\nIf there is another superpower that grows above us, I suspect that we'll have a hand in making it that way.  After all, we've been helping all our "older brothers" (older countries) for some time now.  It would be nice if they could do it on their own so we could enjoy our youth and riches a bit more.  \n\nEuropean Union?  Go for it!  China getting more democratic and keeping it's power?  We're with you!  Russia regaining world attention but remaining a people-first state?  Great!\n\nWe'll be there, probably contentedly resting on our laurels until we're woken again.  For now, we're awake and stomping our feet on the one's who woke us up unjustly.  After they're dust, we'll go back to slumber and do business as usual, but we'll never be less than a giant.

Forever and ever.\nIt may get dimmer, but that is from the spreading of the light.  The photons will travel until they collide with something.

I TRULY HOPE SO.  WHEN I GOTO BED IN A FEW MINUTES I WILL PRAY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.  GOOD WILL OVERCOME EVIL, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOME TIME FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.  IT'S BEEN A LONG 6 YEARS.

Dont wait for the light to appear at the end of the tunnel.\nStride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.

That depends.  In this scenario, is the future set in stone (aka fate) or do we have a role in what happens in the future?
