Default State of our civilization in...

10 years?
100 years?
1000 years?

Contrary to the general consensus, our technology never stagnates and is going higher and higher. Think about 1950 to 2000, and even 2000 to 2007.

What kind of achievement (technical) do you think the humanity can reach by 2017? 2107? 3007 and up?

Our only limits are:
1) the lifetime of our solar system (~4.5 billion yrs remaining)
2) an external extinction (meteor rather than aliens)
3) an internal extinction (most likely war or pollution)

beyond the dates I suggested, do you think it's conceivable (hear: can we picture ourselves) our civilization in 100,000 yrs+ and beyond?

What are the odds against our total extinction in a 100,000 yrs timeframe? What about 1,000,000yrs?
