We live long enough to end the US, colonize the universe and meet the alien dragons.
Civil War leads to education reform, and finally to the singularity.
It's survival of the cutest, or survival of the aliens that can't enjoy simulations. But we can't use telepathy because of the ads.
Aliens will bind us, waste will be dealt with and the makers will inherit the Earth.
Beatniks, home power and board games will make our future complete.
We wear our computers, improve our toilets and all die in a singularity. But we can think our way out of it.
We got brain drain, big bangs and charity that gives back.
