sorry guys Im just going to brain dump so dont mind me :D

I cant wait for 80 years, gonna see how technology has moved, Im amazed at it now, love it to bits. how touch screens output and input in full duplex and multitouch, how they recognise your voice, your eyes, your fingerprints, the speed at which they perform and what they do is awesome at what we have today.

but what I really want to know is how it will be improved and where will we get to the point where there is a possability where we can no longer improve - there must be some sort of boundary?

what I would like to see in my lifetime:

phones
get phones for glasses, with headphones for calls/listen to music, everything on the phone will be navigated by focusing on it and blinking, microphones pointing down from the bottom of the frame pic up speech for calls, a laser in the centre of the frame projects a keyboard infront of the user to type in keys like this, battery life lasts 4 days and can be solar powered and is uv reactive like these and reacts from direct sun light and not average day light

transport
0 emission, recycleable fuels with parts that are cheaply made, has the option to self control, run on full pc's the screens are dark tinted with a projection of the area ahead, the cars are raised off the ground by demagnetisation and for safety reasons a good 3 foot off the ground, seat belts arent required because on any impact a super fast expanding + drying gel is squirted into the car absorbing the momentum carried by the passengers regardless on the area of which they are hit, roads are made from a signle line that is no wider than a train track but is used to guide the cars in the right direction (by computers), public and security transport uses these cars to pass over them at a greater speed and can manipulate cars to pull them over instead of forcing them off the road or cause a danger. the speed limit of cars are restricted to the speed limit of the area and not the driver and only when agreed with an operator of the road can that speed be increased if its an emergency

computers
home computers will only be used to display media content for tv, music, interactive content and will use holograms to project the contents to the audience, the sound will be distributed FROM the walls keyboards and mice will be obsolete as input will be done via your glasses connected by a super efficient wireless mode, games wont need control pads because you will be fully emersed in the environment within the room

buildings
the outer walls will be thick and solid but the inner walls will be soundproofed, retractable and the whole wall will instead of bounce sound but project sound through tiny speakers. the flooring can change to the the shape you want it by having tiles raising raising and dropping, your room can be 10 foot deep one minute 20 foot the next by going into the ground instead of building up from the ground... and thats where I end my brain dump.

ah anyway sorry I had to let all that out as bad as it is, I feel I have dumped enough now and can go to bed.

cheers

actually we got about 40 - 50 years left of petrol. it'll be gone in our lifetime. but then you see these predictions always rising :p

actually there's still several centuries worth in Canada alone, just at the moment its expensive to bother with.

Oh and I remember the geography text books in school predicted 30-40 years of fuel left...


They where written in the 60's :p

yep lol but saying that look at what your using at the moment:

watch to tell the time
mobile phone to communicate
gps for your car (now in some mobiles)
mp3 player for your music
external hard drives for data storage

it all adds up :p you can either have pockets bigger than your privates or put them in a bag at the moment :p

all I want in my pocket is my wallet, and tbh I dont like carrying that around either. I'd much prefer all done by card.


I was just thinking aloud anyway ^.^

yeah I remember that too. thats why I added the bit on the end. but you gotta wonder :p
 
posting from my iPod like I am now makes me feel like I am in the future and now I've written that I am :D
 
Ultimate future tech, huh? I'd like to see materials science progress to the point that space elevators can be built, thus allowing us to explore the cosmos.

I'd like to see a Dyson sphere around a distant star collecting and storing energy for our pleasure.

In the more near future I would like to see cars become positionally aware --beyond what GPS can currently do. I'd like for it to be accurate to the centimeter. With this awareness engineers could pair a wireless communication protocol. Cars would communicate with each other on the road and perform automatic negotiation for the3 most efficient travel for all. Manual controls would remain for the driver that could be engaged as a fallback position if the system ever indicated that it needed a human touch.

Imagine the possibilities. Five cars are driving down an expressway, each perfectly in sync with each other. All are going precisely the legal limit, which has been raised significantly since driver reaction time is an antique notion, inches from one another forming a virtual train. This position maximizes fuel economy by reducing aerodynamic drag on the cars not leading. The lead position is periodically rotated, as birds do in flight, to ensure a fair consumption of energy for all. The first car detects a pothole ahead. Its suspension compensates for the exact position of the bump while the other cars behind are warned of its existence and are given the information necessary to compensate for it. The location is tagged in the positional database and all cars now know of its existence and will henceforth avoid it. Cars enter and exit the "train" when necessary for each is plotting an individual course and is merely interfacing with the network to determine an optimum solution for all involved.

But then all these robots appear out of nowhere and start going schitzo on your nice new Audi. Their chests are like glowing red and they are really angry with you for no reason. You're then forced to go into manual mode anyway as you have more pressing matters than the pothole further down the road. Anyway turns out you're African American with a wicked-cool metal arm so you kill all the robots. Your Audi is still wrecked though. Is that the kind of future you want? Is it?!
 
fully integrated bio-computing. A memory upgrade for me would be great! Keep the brain alive and live on the internet. Also want to do real space travel, like star-trek stuff, just with less aliens :P

Theres a vid on the net, demostrating this technology absolutely amazing stuff.
 
hover boards like the ones seen in back to the future.
Teleportation booths that can take you anywhere in the world. Even take you to work or just to the pub(no more staggering home)
