Nothing much......world will still spin, moon will rise at night and the star will shine at night and the sun shall brighten the day ahead

Am I positive or what

I like your thinking dude.

Personally, I wouldn't be bothered by having to revert to a somewhat Later Middle Ages type scenario - We understand things quite a bit better than those of that period so whilst it would be back to Back Breaking work for everyone, we wouldn't have to worry about Witches or Dragons or Submitting ourselves to the slavery of any particular religion.

The only problem though is that I think the world would very likely descend into a cesspit of war.

My plan (for making new TFs of course) is to make TF workers go swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, then wring them out into molds. Glow-in-the-dark plastics can be made by shipping the products to 3 Mile Island or Chernobyl (was gonna include Fukushima but it's a bit too soon).
All Beachcombers should be made out of hemp plastic.

I'd like to go on record as being against back breaking labour.

Thanks goodness Ill be retired by then, no need for me to worry about transpo, since I dont drive. As per toys, well think about it, our Tf collections will be worth in black gold heheheh. They could always find ways to recycle plastic and use those for TF making, but Id imagine these would be very pricy toys. Oh and Hasbro will be out of business by then....

After reading more on this issue it looks like oil will run out in 2125 (cant remmeber that exact date). Well that is too far for me to consider so shall pass the problem on to the younger generations that come through

I'm not concerned about it. I'm sure there will be some new technology to offset any supply shortage. The one thing for sure is cars today will be a luxury for people in the future because petrol prices won't be affordable to the average person.
