What's going to be the next "Futuristic" technology in our lifetime? - GoFuckYourself.com

RayVega · 01-01-2009, 07:45 PM

Flying cars? Phasar guns? Artificial Gravity for spacetravel? faster than light speed? Teleportation? Full brain transplant into a younger body?

I clearly remember being a young teen and thinking the same thing. I could've never have imagined the iPhone or ipod or DVR. Or even Cable as it is today...can you imagine watching shit when you want to, as opposed to when it comes on? 60 inch plasma screens that are six inches thick...?

Not to mention a billion other innovations but what's next?

RayVega · 01-01-2009, 07:49 PM

Anyone? Did we progress at all?

mynameisjim · 01-01-2009, 07:54 PM

AI and robotics. I think within 25-50 years there will be a HUGE jump in that field that will change the culture, similar to the way the internet seemingly came out of nowhere.

skrinkladoo · 01-01-2009, 07:56 PM

I would imagine in entertainment - holographic imagery of sort.

Jarmusch · 01-01-2009, 07:59 PM

When teleportation becomes common, I sure hope great advances have been made in stopping obesity.

Space tourism and renewable energy.

I'm looking forward to, and hoping for, the creation of projectors for cell phones, ipods, etc. Instead of watching the small screen you can project the image up to...lets say 60 inches. It would be perfect for video calls, watching movies, internet....everything. The only down side is the surface to project on. At home you could have a screen but everywhere else you would have to use a white wall, unless of course they make a workaround for that. Like a projector that projects a viewing surface for the projector.

Wow....that was sooner than I thought. A quick google and here it is.... but still needs a bit of upgrading...

If George and his brain dead buddies didn't have their heads up their own asses for the past 8 years, then maybe the US would be introducing these technologies, instead of Japan (click to see).

3D TV will be in homes within the next 10 years or less. Time travel within the next 50 years. Full working cloaking device within 10 years. Cure for most cancers within 25 years.
Its exciting times we live in...................

My bet is there will be new "goggle" type accessories for these devices. Soon there will be lightweight "iGlasses" or "iGoggles" or "iSpecs" or something, that you plug into your iPhone, or your computer, or whatever new game/device they come out with - where by wearing these wrap around glasses it will initially feel like you are watching a big screen, and then eventually it will feel like you are really there.

This will be a new addition to hi def web cameras soon as well, so you will feel more like you are in the room with the model. Then they will invent a fleshlight style device that you wear, so when the model sucks on her dildo you feel it, etc.

I predicted these things last year too, but this year I believe they are closer than ever.

My mother used to tell me when she was a kid growing up that the 1980s were going to be the bid decade, that we would have flying cars, and we would all live in domed cities.

I think nano tech. will be the next big thing in our lifetime. We'll have robots so small that we can swallow them like a pill, and they can check us for cancer or other stuff. Robotics will be huge, We'll all have life sized real looking robots to house work - like Rosie. ( This of course means we'll get even more lazy. ) With nano tech we'll be able to wear glasses that will record everything we ever see - and will be able to save it for the rest of our lifetime.

SomeCreep · 01-01-2009, 09:35 PM

I want a cell phone the size of my wrist watch, that I can wear on my wrist like a wrist watch, that also tells time, so that I can replace my wrist watch.

[db] · 01-01-2009, 09:43 PM

The next really big advancement will probably be quantum computing.

That would be wild. Not sure I would want to interfere with some of my childhood memories, though. Imagine being able to compare how you viewed events 10 years prior versus how your mind recorded them...just wow!

Don't forget implantable RFID chips for an easily controlled cashless society...

Applications of nanotechnology.

Nanotech will unify the technology industry: bio-tech and electro-tech will become one field. The ability to manipulate at the molecular and atomic level has sweeping applications, from the death of the silicone based trasistor and the birth of the quantum transistor to the manipulation of cells, viruses, DNA/RNA programming etc. But even nano-technology is an extension of 1940s physics. Biological nanotech applications of 15-25 years from now will equal and exceed the semi-conductor revolution of the later 20th century. Just as the microchip revolutionized business and society, nano biotech will revolutionize our personal lives and have sweeping socio-econmic implications, and raise many moral/ethical issues along the way.

That being said, we are long overdue for a new fundamental scientific discovery and I think this will be related to filling in the blanks of the standard particle model of physics (proving higgs boson existence, etc) and lead to the long sought after GUT (grand unified theory) of physics. Our ability to apply this new understading of the universe probably won't have real-world applications for 50, 75 or 100 years, but those applications could be mind-bending: inter-galactic space travel, teleportation, telepathic communication, limitless electric power... if we master the quantum world.. what we define as "life" or "existence" could fundamentally change.
