I can see 'us' having the same basic technology but improved to the point of 'looking' futuristic....
That's what the 70s were about.
Oh and music will become bland and boring and operetic metal will become the new "emo".
For music I forsee the current trend becoming harder and faster will reach critical tempo. The last of the live bands, the only hard rock (which by now is pretty mainstream) band left with a drummer that can even marginally keep up with the synthetic beats so prominant, and with a gutarist who can pound out cords so fast that to the human ear they become a single undulating tone, will one day walk out on stage somehow different.
Gone will be ragged clothes and hair and instead they will be well groomed in formal regalia. The lead singer will come up to the microphone and ask, "Who among you would like to be a part of a musical revolution?" They will then proceed to play what will come to be called rock classical. A mello blending of rock instrumentation with rythms and melodies reminiscent of bach, mozart, oe Handel.
The audience reactions first in shock, then anticipation of the moment they'll turn the whole thing on it's ear and go back to th expected. After the thrid song starts and the audience realizes this isn't some gag, that they are staying the course, they will react almost simultanious with polite aplause. What a turn of events! The total rejection of musical standards, even their own. Some scorn it, but on the whole the musical scene treansfoms in a single tour.

I think synth/techno-classical is a cross genre with a great deal more potential than rock-classical.

Yea, axes denied is a rock band that posted a recording of their version of the hyperspace theme here a while back. I'm not a big rock fan, though I do understand why techno/synth types of stuff past its golden age, while rock lives on. It seemed that too much of it got caught up in super-fast and repetitive low quality noise. Kind of the opposite problem sometimes occurs with classical- there is not enough of any recognizable structure. But this is not the case with all or even most classical music, it is very diverse, and I think that is one of the reasons it lives on, while rock has to keep evolving to stay popular.
But who cares what you call it or what category it falls under anyway, if it sounds good, listen to it.

Hey, for all of you who think that technological evolution/de-evolution will be our down fall ("We're running out of ENERGY! and such) here is something on an even more dreadful doom. Read the last quote of this articule on continued human evolution:
http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060306/full/060306-8.html
"Even today there is plenty of scope for natural selection, such as in genes that impact fertility or fetal survival."
With our modern tech and civ protecting all of us, the only humans who can gain an advantage are those who maybe reproduce the most/fastest. So, if IQ and everything no longer saves you from getting eaten by a tiger, then the focus is purely on the most shofixti-like, no longer on the geekiest. So we eventually become a monster population that isn't equipped well enough anymore to maintain the tech that feeds us, and our current civ goes back into the tank.
