The tubes will be real, I am sure of it. I can't see soylent green ever being popular, but bachelor chow would be a great hit, I want some of it now! I doubt there will be loads of aliens around, but the rest should be reasonably accurate, with people doing the same things they do nowadays. I always liked the way that the futurama universe isn't some stupid overly utopian or dark place, as is usually the case in sci-fi.

We could probably land on Mars by the year 3000. The tube system is also possible. As for the drinking robots, we can only hope.

I think they will have Hover Cars in the future. I hope there is Planet Express in the future, that'd be cool!

As musch as I don't wanna fight with a fellow Californian, I'd have to disagree with the civilization thing. Just beacuse we land there doesn't mean that we should make a civilization there, just look at the moon. It's closer to earth, but we didn't send people to live there. Oh course if we could live on Mars I might just go visit.

it wouldn't suprise me if there were mutants in 3000, with all the polution and radioactive/toxic waste and stuff.

all-purpose-spray would be really cool, though it is probably impossible to create.

unless you're famous / important enough to end up as a head in a jar or decide to get frozen, you probably won't see the year 3000, thus never be able to compare it with the futurama-vision what the world will be like in (roughly) 1000 years. Yeah, but most of us will probably live to see whether we have suicide booths by 2008, and some of us might even find out whether cyborgs really will enslave humanity at some point during this century. To answer your question, though, I tend to doubt we'll have faster-than-light flight, but really, who knows? I mean, there's plenty that we take for granted that would have been considered impossible 1000 years ago. If we ever DO manage to reach faraway worlds and discover new life forms, I doubt they'll be much like Zoidberg or Morbo. A virtual reality Internet is a possibility, but it probably wouldn't look like the one on the show. I really don't know enough about artificial intelligence to determine whether sentient robots like Bender would ever be possible. The question is, would we WANT them to be?

I really don't know enough about artificial intelligence to determine whether sentient robots like Bender would ever be possible. The question is, would we WANT them to be? i sure hope that we get in contact with zoidberg-ish aliens, not so sure about morbo though. concerning robots, i think it's important to distinguish between artificial intelligence (which science focuses on at the moment) and artificial emotions. in my opinion both should be programable in 3000.
