2. Sadly, I have a feeling it won't take 50 years.
I actually have trouble imagining what the world will be like 50 years from now. But... If there are going to be resource wars, I have a feeling they will have already happened.

6. He adores cars. I told him he should be an engineer of some sort and design more efficient
ways of getting around. Heck, when he was a baby I told him he should grow up and invent the warp drive, transporter, and especially the replicator. Who knows? Maybe he will. :)
