What I have learned from watching Captain Scarlet

The Environmental Lobbyists have all given up and gone home - after all, how else would they have got permission to build an electrical power relay station at the top of an alp?

And why would they want to? ;-$

... Or a heating tower at the top of the WORLD?

All that melting ice...

Ah, but the rate the arctic ice sheet is melting, Chris, there won't BE any ice at the north pole soon. Spectrum will have to hope that someone creates the ice in order for the mine to have something to melt and Scarlet to have some derring do to perform... :wink:

1. Airport security is more pathetic in the future.

2. Don't start a fight with the Russians: their guns are bigger.

3. The future does not have flying cars

4. Lancasters can still save the day despite their age.

It all evens out. No 8 could make up for the deficiencies of No 3.

Don't get you? :?:

And fewer than twenty different voices/accents :wink:

I think there'd have to be a big change before that happens.

Okay a few more from me,

1. SSCs and Cheethas look like they were designed by Ferrari so possibilty that the prancing horse is still kicking about in the future (especially the Cheetha)

2. I'll be able to get a hovering camera in the future.

3. There are still rats in the future.

4. There are still meerkats in the future.

5. Computer viruses can kill.

6. The dead really can come back to life.

Here's another I've realised after watching 'Fallen Angels'.

In the future cybernetic arms work just a good as real arms.

So we won't need tripods/monopods? Shame it's in the future because I'm currently looking to get a tripod.

Yay!

I like meerkats. (I blame the Compare The Meekat adverts

)

Well, according to the movie "Chronicle" - which I think is set in present time - you might not need to wait very long for a hovering camera.

Of course, you'd have to develop telekinetic powers... which I agree, could be a little problem... :-?

Well we'll have cybernetic arms that can read minds by the 2060s as well so problem solved. Can use that to enhance telekinetic powers.

If you haven't got enough time to get a full eight hours' sleep, you can get some simulated sleep that'll work just as well.

There's a huge theme park right in the middle of the desert to go and visit.

Man will have visited the moon again(?) between now and the future, and we'll actually have people living/working* on it.

Man will make to Mars and (NCS-) we will have people living/working on it.

*OCS - the Lunarvilles, NCS - that holiday/spa place

Mining will take place on Jupitors moons in the future.
