15 reasons to live for the next 10 years

It may be better. But like the last decade, it will probably have alot of bad stuff that dominates the news. An example, the internet was a huge improvement, but we also had 2 economic meltdowns and a war.

And just as I sign-off current I see this....
In the last 100 years, progress in many fields has been so fast it has been hard to keep up with.
Hopefully this new decade will bring about rapid changes in just as many other fields.
As for the new movies/series....there are a few I can't wait to see! Dr. Who being one of my favorites.

the title of the story is so uplifting :D

I would have been happy for just one reason, so I guess I will look forward to the next decade with a hesitant optimism. I have to agree with an earlier post that pointed out that so many of these bright things in the future have to do with the arts and entertainment (which is great) and not enough on National security, global hunger and America's future role on the world wide stage.........

Knowing that Riddly Scott is coming back to sci-fi made me giggly. Woot, a new Aliens movie! AH!!
also, the mars thing is neat, but boring at the same time. damn you science, for taking you're dear sweet time to come up with results.

The changes we are going to see in our lifetimes will be astounding... if we dont kill each other off first. We may even live to see the next few centuries.

Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey has stated, “The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today …whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”

Nerdgasms are right around the corner. :)

Well I guess I will stick around for a few more years anyway. Maybe just to see how much of this fails if for no other reason.

Great list of things to look forward to! We needed some optimism right about now, thanks!

I was going to make some wry comment about a new president in 21012, but I'll keep my mouth shut- I don't wish to rain on anyones parade. Sorry! :)

Nice post! Understanding all of these things coming to past in the next ten years is pretty cool. But I don't mind living for the next 10 years. Just to see what life brings is a blessing. It's not like you have a second chance at it. I believe things would get better and worse in many different ways in the years to come.

oh but the space opera thing is kewl. lets leave it to science fiction for now. we need to clean house instead of kicking in other doors so we can shit on the carpet there. can we please clean up here before we trash the clean places?

sorry. still no sympathy for the mars budget in any form. we need to focus on the planet we live on, rather than dumping money into the biggest hole that we know of.

I'm disappointed that it was significantly rooted in the arts, which is so pointless to predict. Their impact, quality and relevance are high subjective from person to person, and the most important cultural artifacts that will arise in the next ten years will undoubtedly be far removed from what was listed here. Not that anyone is suggesting Lost is a masterpiece.

Crazysmall robots, new green technology, the god particle- AWESOME. oh well. what about the rise of the future world leaders, china and india? though i guess it isn't necessarily a reason to live, it'll be interesting to see. hopefully in a good way.

well i'm sold.

theres no reason to live the next 10 years, by the time global warming kicks we'll be screwed.

Concur...except if they ruin Forever War I may not be able to carry on...read it for the third time just a few months ago. What a great novel -- conceptually brilliant...

p.s.-- O.K., I guess the "secret to mass" is sort of kewl to.

Alright,...alright,.....you talked me into it.
( Actually,....."Forever War" and "John Carter" movies were probably enough.)
