Tabletopics

I received a lovely package in the mail today from youngest daughter V, with an assortment of gifts inside.  One was a unique clear cube with cards in a box.  They are "tabletopics",  or interesting questions for dinner table conversation.  I read one of them, and at first, had no idea how to answer it.  The question was:

Had you rather meet your great great grandparents, or your great great grandchildren?

After pondering that question for quite a while, with no answer, it dawned on me.  I might have many more great great grandchildren than great great grandparents!   If I am figuring this right,  at most there would be sixteen great great grandparents, right?   But quite possibly, there might be as many as forty eight or more great great grandchildren.   Assuming that this "meet" is a one time event,  I have decided that it would be much more interesting to just see how many great great grandchildren there might be out there in the future.

I cannot quite visualize the future that far out.  Would it be around 2060?  Imagine the technological gadgets the great great grandchildren would be using.

Already we have cars that talk to you and tell you where to go.  Maybe by then, cars will drive themselves?  I wonder if the great great grandchildren will still need to take the driver's test?  Maybe I could ask them about that.
