Considering the leaps and bounds technology has taken in just the past twenty years---(remember Pong?) where will it go now with new discoveries like ---<<-THIS->> And <<-THIS->>

Have they started filming "TERMINATOR 3"?

What are your predictions for 2002?

More robot wars and big brother clones. Gotta give the public what they want :silly:.

Seriously though, getting nanotech to communicate with human nerve cells looks pretty close, I'd put $ on within 5 years.

Imagine this--

Super Molecules in fiber optic wires embedded under the skin of patients with severed spinal cords.

By moving a finger muscle it can send an electrical signal to the leg muscles.

The future looks bright, wish I had some extra coin to invest in companies who are developing this type of technology.

Yep, the possibilities are endless.
But I think a cure for the common COLD is still several years away.:confused:

I'm just hoping somebady comes up with a way to get in shape by sitting on the couch eating donuts . . . (a guy can dream, can't he?) :confused:

Realistically, I think we'll see leaps in communication (maybe cell phones that actually WORK!), and it looks like DRN is already leaping forward (member galleries--very cool!)

Heck, I would be happy if they can just find a cure for the dreaded --"Middle Age Spread"! :think

Fuel injection on all bikes, no tip over gyros like on the -- "IT" so everyone can rail a berm like RC.

A pain transfer device, so you can transfer them day after riding aches to your boss Monday morning.

Better--industrial strength Glade plugins, so the rest of the family dosen't run screaming down the hall while your in the reading room. :eek: :uh:

Let's get some of this high tech on our 2-strokes so they meet the new stringent standards set by the eco-whackos,err..,EPA/CARB, and perform even better!
Smart carbs/injectors.

I just saw on TV they invented an ab belt thats battery opperated, where you just turn it on for 10 minutes a day and have great ab's. It must be true if its on tv:confused:
