Assuming that the prophecies of 2012 does not come true, we as a civilization are in for amazing technological advancements. Think Star Trek or Star Wars. By the year 2200, some scientists predict we will have cars that fly. There will be lanes in the sky where we will be able to drive our cars up to hundreds of miles an hour. Electric boundaries will make sure that the cars stay in the sky without falling.
As for space exploration, this may be our biggest advancement. NASA will have built a base on the Moon and Mars. Humans will be able to travel to these two places for a vacation and space travel will not be as dangerous. Space ships will be much larger and possibly able to travel in minutes to another part of the galaxy. It is possible that the United States military will have special planes that are able to fly around the solar system instead of just in the air.
It might be possible that we will have made contact with other life-forms by this point. Aliens may become commonplace and live among us in peace. Since we have advanced to a new technological highpoint, aliens would see us as no longer inferior and would want to become united in a common purpose with us humans.

The Sybil was a woman in Ancient Greece. She was known for making prophecies that were many years ahead of her time. It was believed by the people of her time, that the god Apollo was speaking to the Sybil. The Sybil made a prophecy that many interpret to be talking about 2012.
The things in the tenth generation shall come to pass. The Earth shall be shaken by a great earthquake that throws many cities into the sea. There shall be war. Fire shall come flashing down from the heavens and many cities burn. Black ashes shall fill the great sky. Then know the Anger of the Gods.
Could this just be the ravings of a mad-woman? Or is this going to happen one day?
