Jules Verne is about the only person that came close to predicting the future (at least technologically speaking). I wonder about that for my kids, but the combo of religious fundamentalism, tribal or ethnic civil warfare around the globe, environmental issues, overpopulation and ingenious new kinds of bird flu dispersing via air travel, big corporations becoming quasi governments.... dunno that we'll keep on making progress like we have the last few centuries... There's just so many of us, too...
