npgraphicdesign 2 #1 August 16, 2009 You get a chance to travel into the future. Your choice as to the year...could be ten, onehundred, ten thousand years from now, etc. The only catch: - you have to go in the spur of the moment - you cannot tell anyone where you are going - you cannot go back to your past life or try to get in touch with anyone in the past once you're in the future. Would you do it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_squared431 0 #12 August 17, 2009 Sure I would..If I were to travel into the future more than likely the whole trip would last a blink of a eye even though I may have been gone for 10 yrs. can I take a travel buddy, tuaca, and and and still be able to post updates, poke people, and read current affairs on dz.com?

shah269 0 #16 August 17, 2009 QuoteIce, Ice, baby.. No not really. It's just that I really don't have a home. I left Iran when I was 8 and we moved so much as I grew up that I have no snese of home and my connections with people though strong are fragile and can be ended quickly. So yeah I couild go into the future and not look back. Does that make me cold?

MikeJD 0 #17 August 18, 2009 Quote I wanna see what crazy new things we come up with!! Stick around for a few years and you will see. Things change pretty fast within our own lifetimes - the moon landings, the birth of the internet and all kinds of other pivotal events have all fallen within mine so far. Heck, we've barely had powered flight for 100 years. I don't see any reason to live further into the future. I'd be very curious to know what life is like centuries from now, but if I have to live 'there' without the option to come back? No way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dks13827 3 #21 August 18, 2009 I would not, unless I could travel the universe as part of the deal. I often think that maybe there are billions of planets out there with intelligent life. Or maybe there are none. But the strange thing is ... we on Earth might never know, ever, that there is intelligent life out there, somewhere, far away.
