The future of mankind is going to be very, very, dystopian.
I will use drones as just one example. Can you imagine drone technology 100 years from now. No one will be safe. People will be able to build deadly miniature drones in their basements. Imagine a drone the size of a grasshopper that can be used to kill a person, a world leader.
Right now in Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers have Drone Units. They fly small drones at night killing Russian soldiers in their sleep. The Russian soldiers have no defense against these drones. You can't hide from them because they have thermal imaging. You can't see them coming. You can't hear them.
Enjoy the time we are living in. If you think things are crazy now, the future is going to be flat out dystopian.

1. As a 72 year old, I'll be gappy to miss this future.
BTW, just my opinion, nicer to use humankind than mankind.
And for a scary drone film, try getting to see 2022 Oscar Nominated Live Action Shorts.
All five of them are excellent, though fairly depressing.

4. It has always been thus
Rocks to swords to muskets to machine guns
Balloons to planes to jets to drones
Spies to planes to satellites
Dynamite to grenades to bombs to nuclear missiles.
Humankind had been exceptionally good at killing and we are constantly getting better at it.

5. Makes me...
Thankful that I'm old and may miss all of the worst of it.

Somebody's well into their third :stoner: -load, :rotf: . Technology has always included suffering, from around the time Cain figured out what he could do with a rock.

Hey, they're not necessarily wrong. Censorship, social credit scores... Yeah, the future could be very dystopian, but DU might prefer not to look at the true sources of such a dystopia.

The sleeping Russian soldiers wouldn't have to worry about his if they had stayed in their own country.
