Re: Future coltures of people? I think the Cold War nuclear terror kinda got people to vastly overestimate how easy it is, even with nukes, to wipe out huge chunks of humanity.People were kinda horrified at one point when the official Chinese position was that they were not scared of nukes

Re: Future coltures of people? Maybe, but the USA and the UK can be the greatest of allies, and still get wiped off the face of the planet as collateral damage when a couple of crazies in the middle east decide to duke it out with nuclear weapons or some other form of mass destruction.And

Re: Future coltures of people? Well in terms of neuclear capability, it's unlikely even if a smaller nation did! kick off, we'd have as bad a time as predicted in the cold war, sinse remember the cold war appocalyptic predictions were always based on hitting strategic targets to both cause

Re: Future coltures of people? @Cw, I'm increasingly of the opinion that the sf writers (especially the mid twentieth century ones), got it backwards. It's not technology that is the force behind social change, but social change that is the force behind technological development. People

Re: Future coltures of people? I don't think humanity has a future, we seem to enjoy killing each other so much, that I think it's inevitable that we will one day, exterminate ourselves. If you think that's a bleak outlook, consider that, ever since mankind invented or learned how to use

Re: Future coltures of people?

Re: Future coltures of people? Well True when considering humanity as a hole, however less true when looking at individual nations and fudes. I'm fairly sure that 200 years ago if you said that one day England would be a regular ally of France through two major wars, you'd get a right

Future coltures of people? I looked this song up on youtube and one wonders how overall colture will change in the future as tech improves. What brings this is the thought that what we as people do things differenly then over an hundred years ago. Of cource alot of things changed over

Re: Future coltures of people? Lol Cw, actually I've heard that song before, Futurama had This awesome parody version in an episode featuring a time machine which is pretty funny. As to the sort of distant future predicted by the song, I'm not personally too optimistic about humankind
