Future of mankind

What do you think will happen? I think space settlement seems pretty interesting, though I can't really decide on its likelihood. Space settlement, it seems to me, would also cause humanity to branch off into separate species, since the requirements for life in space are different than on Earth.

With growing population and technology, the future's pretty much open for anything, assuming we don't blow ourselves up too soon.

http://future.wikia.org/ is a nice site on this.

Either we will become robots, or robots will replace us. The robots will then colonize the galaxy (if that's feasible). No need to worry about speciation, habitat, population etc, we/they would just be a program to be uploaded into whatever robot body we want.

Strong AI might even here in our lifetime, though it's really anyone's guess.
