      Me, trying not to write a political comment on a non-political question.

      I’d guess we’re either going to reach futuristic Star Trek communism or a dystopian world-wide techno-feudalism.

          I was about to pedantically attack the term “underage kids,” but then I realized how many juvenile adults there are out there and decided it was valid.

        Unfortunately, the odds seem to be favoring the technofeudalism. But you never know, maybe a catastrophic breakdown of society could lead to a more enlightened civilization generations later…

        Cloud Atlas was an interesting film about how things like this can change over time on a grand scale.
