As I was reading the other posts, I mostly enjoyed many of the posts that had to deal with the positives that the future may hold for us. My first thoughts were of different technologies that I hope technology will advance towards, but then I began to think about why some of these technologies could actually hurt mankind in the end. As technology progresses, our society seems to become much lazier. Technology seems to be advancing at a rate where, eventually, no one will need to leave the house. At our current point of technology, anyone with internet could probably live their lives without leaving the house. The internet allows us to work from home, order clothes online, and even grocery shop from the comfort of their own living room. Basically, my biggest fear is that our society will ruin itself because of technology, but I have a feeling that, if it ever gets that far, it will be sometime outside of our life times.

This is a link to a Futurama episode. The majority of the episode does not matter, but the first minute and a half is basically what I envision might happen one day. While Futurama makes this into a funny matter, it could also be devastating.
On a completely unrelated side note, this is an excellent site if anyone wants to watch all of the Futurama episodes.
