One of the things I wonder about from time to is if we lived in a society with high levels of technology, such as say that in Star Trek, were commonplace and humanity can travel among the stars, I often think about what would science fiction be like.
Would it still be like it is today? That is being set in the backdrop of space and include spaceships with fantastic technology fighting each other? Or would it be in a different form? And would it be as popular as it is today?
How the hell is anyone supposed to know what something is going to be like in the future?
If we were going to go by the Jetsons, we should all have flying cars, but we don't base the future on cartoons or Sci-Fi series.
