We will all have an extreme form of ADD, as a way to adapt to a world where fifteen thousand things are being thrown at us at once, where information is constantly pouring at us from every which way. It will have gotten to the point where we can watch a TV show, talk on the phone, text message someone, and listen to music all at once, we will have adapted so that our attention can be so perfectly split. We will also be addicted to extreme forms of speed. Caffeine and B12 will be child's play, as we will grow to need more and more higher potency energy drinks and whatnot to keep us going, to keep our mental faculties tuned on high at all times. Also, communication will be done entirely by technology. Why? Because it'll be streamlined; it'll be faster, and more efficient. no fair, you cheated... we're supposed to be talking about a hundred years from now, not generation Y. :) other than maybe the communication through electronics thing, think there will be any downside to your scenario? think people can ever adapt to this reality in a healthy way?
