 Poll Question:

    

Does the fact that you won't be driving your own car anymore bother you? How does autonomous robots cooking your meals for you sound? How about surgery without a visible surgeon? Sound sensational, upsetting, or even ridiculous?

Autonomous robots, virtual realtiy, nanobots, supercities, space colonies, fully automated grocery stores, and computerized shopping centers: Designed to be everyday luxuries, these may seem scary at first, but futurists say they will be our way of life. These are part the future. It might seem distant to some of us, but the future is not far off.

But what about our earth in general? What about global warming? What about overpopulation? Will things continue to get worse? Will these things affect our lifestyles? Our moral code?

What about politics? Will the all the world countries oneday combine into one supernation? Will we live together in harmony and prosper? Maybe even one superreligion?

The intent of this poll is not to scare you in any way. It was made to make you think and raise awareness of the fact that the world is changing. If you believe that these things are impossible, then you have reason to be afraid; futurists have a big influence! Besides, look at what today's society is doing. The future starts now. Whatever happens, be prepared.


 Poll Options:

    I'm terribly afraid of the future
    I embrace the future and can't I wait 'till it happens!
    I'm only afraid of certain things and I'll email you about them
    That's ridiculous! Who's to say we'll be living like that?
    I'm evenly divided
