Technology is always getting bigger, better and smarter.
Although many of us may not be around to witness it, my question is:
What kind of technology do you think that we will have 50 years down the road?
here's some starters -
In 50 years technology will be alot more advanced. There will be low-cost widely available water purification/desalination tech. Consumer Robotics will be huge by 2054 and it will render most menial and dangerous jobs obsolete much to the dismay of the poor(and the gap gets wider...). Advanced Molecular Technology will be available to the rich(ie Nanobot, Grey Goo weapons etc..).
Safe and effective Implants augmenting everything from memory size,hand eye co-ordination to strength and speed, and second skin technologies. Oh yeah and lets not forget Cures for Cancer, AIDS, Diabetes and Aging for the Insanly Wealthy.
By 2054 the first permenant colony on Titan will be up and running and Mars's population is over 100. In 50 years we will probably see the beginning of the new migration from the old world(earth) to the new world(the rest of the solar system). We should also have extensive mining operations on the Moon at this time as well.
Hybrid Electric-Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars will outnumber Gasoline Cars since Cheap Oil was all used up in the 20s forcing a rather bloody and messy switchover that caused alot of people to commit suicide thinking it was the end of the world but it wasn't. Hot Fusion will also be the most used power source on planet. In 50 years Nasa will no longer exist. In its place will be an International Space Agency whose sole purpose is to map the solar system for safety purposes.
Or another way it might go is the is the skynet theory (Terminator) where the AI gets so advanced that it decides that it does not need the human species and wages war against us.
What you think?
