If you had the option to fast forward 100 years and not age, would you?

[James Bond]

Well, would you?

(Keep in mind, everyone you had ever met in your entire life is now dead - that sucks)

 

[FoBoT]

no, you all would be dead and i would miss you

 

[ViviTheMage]

Only if I could come back whenever I wanted, with the knowledge I acquired from that era.

 

[darkxshade]

You make it sound like I'd never meet anyone ever again.

 

[MrDudeMan]

I'd have to talk it over with my wife first. Probably no but I'd be really interested.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah, sure, why not.

KT

 

[Chronoshock]

Yes, I would then spend the rest of my life in the holodeck.

 

[xSauronx]

yep, count me in

 

[Kalmah]

I doubt I would be able to get a job in 100 years.. I can't find one now.

Sorry, one way flight

 

[totalnoob]

hell yeah, I'd love to game on an Intel 300 core quantum computer.

 

[DangerAardvark]

I wanna go a million year in the future and party with the Morlocks.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Absolutely, without question. Everyone I know is going to die anyway; why go through all the pain and suffering of experiencing each of their deaths individually when I can leap forward and deal with them all at once? And there's the obvious benefit of being in the future, which is awesome.

 

[ultimatebob]

I don't know... if Al Gore is right, the entire planet should be brunt to a cinder by then. No thanks.

 

[Appledrop]

nope, I firmly believe the world will end in 2012, and so i'll likely be warped into a black hole

 

[JTsyo]

5 year ago I might have but not now.

 

[T9D]

...

 

[Juddog]

I would deposit all the money I had into a high yield savings account. Fast forward 100 years and I would be bloody rich.

you'd probably have better luck just taking the bank notes with you.. at least then you'll be able to sell them for collectors value, and get a few Globos in return.

This is a good point. Pretty much any job/skills/training you have now would be either worthless or very outdated 100 years in the future. Imagine if someone from 1909 were to suddenly find themselves in 2009. How many jobs from then would be able to easily transition to a job today without any additional education?

You could be curator of the antique computer museum.

 

[Colt45]

Can I go back a hundred years instead?

Historian?

I don't know if I could handle how much the world changes in 100 years. I doubt I could get laid either telling everyone I'm over 100 years old.

And what if they outlaw :beer:?
