Some attempts to predict a very distant future of radio astronomy are
presented. It is not easy to foresee a list of the first priority
problems which may appear, but the potential of research facilities is
more predictable. It is suggested that in addition to the “dedicated
for radio astronomy” facilities, the instrumentation of radio
astronomy may be extended greatly by integration with the next
generation “standard living” facilities, integrated via
People-to-People communications through global networks and by
incorporating of the “natural facilities", such as gravitational
lenses, maser amplification in the ISM etc. As an example of the
extreme cases of the 109 m2 class of the new generation Radio
Telescopes, utilization of the personal dipole-size communication
facilitiy by a SKA-type instrument and an array formed by asteroids'
first “Frehnel zones” will be mentioned. The latter radio astronomy
tool together with optical facilities will be extremely useful in
exploration of the z>10 Universe. The reality of all predictions
depend mostly on the way the Civilization will prefer to develop:
“ahead, to HOMO SAPIENCE” or “back, to PRIMATES”.
