This all may be part of the singularity(not the big crunch), the singularity theory bought me, from the first time I heard of it, it is very interesting how the future may be for us, and once the dramatic changes start coming abroad our lives, everything will drastically change. Some people say, don't think too much of the future, just live in the present, it is safe to say that:"The present is only brink point between the future and past, and its almost at past, so, think about the future, which is the only thing that matters."
but then again that is my point of view, i know so many of you have your own "theories" about how things will get in the near future.
