I think issues of a sexual nature will come into play with
technology advances. I expect that with life extention, and physical
alteration's on the molecular level, left wing alternative groups
intrested in the sexual freedoms and boundries of their bodies will
rise up and cauze debate/controversy. Thus forcing society to except
or reject these new idea's.
In the future (of course I'm almost alway's coming from the
viewpoint involving nanotechnology) when automated manufacturing and
fabrication is in full swing, entertainment and hobby will be at a
peak. The interesting things, due to the decline in the work force
will become, fad's fashion and other sources of wildly dramatized
shows. I imagine with more time on our hands a sexual revolution of
sorts may arise.
And yes, personal research will keep me ahead of the
game.(sheerly on a R&D basis of course!)
