Some pretty interesting things happened. Some I've heard about, others not so much...

TampaToker · 12-20-2012, 03:30 PM

Some cool stuff but #27 would be kick ass

VS_Jeff · 12-20-2012, 06:17 PM

This was super interesting. I like the artificial eyes for blind people the brain hacking!

Great article. Love #8. We're all likely to live a lot longer than most people think.

Anyone interested in an overview of where we're headed technologically, I recommend Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku

cool stuff, but most of it is still probably decades away...

Do you think by the time I'm 90, my holodeck will allow me to simulate being gangraped by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?

title is misleading I think... most of the stuff they were showing is still in early stages, first successful tests, etc...

Awesome article! It's scary how many of these I hadn't heard about. They're all fascinating but #8 (the mice and stem cells) really caught my attention.

Do they have stem cells that will make social security and Medicare last that long?

The point with rejuvenation therapies is that it rejuvenates people. Hence, they can work and not need to go on social security.

It's all still a ways in the future, but things are happening fast.

#7 James Cameron Reached the Deepest Known Point in the Ocean

I met his brother John, two weeks ago and he was telling us all about this crazy accomplishment.

Yah, I was thinking the same thing. You would think they would be all over the TV, but nope.. stupid ass politicians 24/7 yapping about the same shit.

Phoenix · 12-21-2012, 09:30 AM

yeah some very cool stuff.
i have stem cells stored for both my sons...hope they never need to use them..

but we are surely entering a new age where some people could begin living and being productive well over 100.

seeandsee · 12-21-2012, 10:12 AM

interesting article, DNK hacks will create monsters

John-ACWM · 12-21-2012, 10:23 AM

Damn interesting

JamesChoopa · 12-21-2012, 10:31 AM

Wow, a lot of really interesting stuff on that list! Good job humans!

Sarah_Jayne · 12-21-2012, 10:43 AM

About a decade ago, when Wired reported on that, the guy was able to drive around a parking lot using the artificial eyes. I'm sure it's a lot more impressive now, 10 years later!

Now he can probably take photos with them, because everything has a camera in it these days. Instant prints right to his home photo printer and is backed up on his instagram account.

crockett · 12-21-2012, 01:53 PM

I saw it mentioned somewhere that 3D printers were going to be bigger than the internet, as far as a tech boom.

Looking at a few of the things on that list I can see why..

JamesM · 12-21-2012, 07:09 PM

some are pretty awesome , 3d printer that builds home just wow.

I have been hearing about #8 for close to 15 years as a cure/treatment for my disease. While I think it is absolutely going to happen at some point, woj is right, most likely decades away. Very cool technology though.

TCLGirls · 12-21-2012, 07:55 PM

#27 for sure
