1. To be honest I seriously doubt there will be any form of humanity left! For the purposes of the question though I think humans will evolve into two separate groups (sort of H.G. Wells time machine-esq). One group will descend from the office worker/"hardcore" gamer/lazy(!) who will have taken increasingly less exercise and therefore evolved away their legs and become big round balls (flat at the base though) of flesh who do everything electronically.
The second group will be descended from the more active and those who do physical jobs who will be adonis like in physique and looks with anything deviating from the norm aborted during pregnancy or senselessly slaughtered thereafter.
Which will be the ruling class? The out of control robots of course!
2. In terms of my answer to 1 i'm all for the robots!
3. They would kill us immediately!
