Hm, hard choice. In a hundred years, when the oceans have risen and conquered vast lands, when storms will have teared apart overhead power cables and houses, when growing solar storms corrupted our satellite network and when the remaining people, who adpated quickly enough to survive the massive air pollution, will fight to the death for what is left of food, clean water and fertile soil, I think humankind will lack the time - both as leisure time and as life time - to play Go.

But I'm optimistic, I'm pretty sure it will be about as much as it is now : )
