years from now...

Televisions as we know them will be consigned to museums & everyone will watch coronation street on a hologram projector

After it was discovered that mobile phone radiation caused brain tumours in 80% of the population everyone went back to using two baked bean cans & a long piece of string

Finally someone on this forum is not being a ****. Good post man and I like your sense of humour, others should watch and learn. About those baked bean cans though, do they need to be Heinz baked beans? I've heard a rumour that plastic coke bottles can be fun in the bedroom.

Unfortunately Heinz stops producing baked beans in 2024 and goes bust in 2025 when it's discovered that global warming was not caused by cattle flattulence but human

I'm imagining a rapid increase in ear injuries with sharp can edges in the mid 20's :p
 
I read up on futurology articles often as it's an area that is really interesting, and no longer purely in the realms of Sci-Fi.

The most logical one is how AI will shape society, not in a way to overthrow humankind, but to aid it and on another hand, divide it:

2100s:
Human intelligence is being vastly amplified by AI

Ubiquitous, large-scale automation has led to vast swathes of human employees being replaced by virtual or robotic counterparts. Strong AI now occupies almost every level of business, government, the military, manufacturing and service sectors.

Rather than being separate entities, these AIs are often merged with human minds, greatly extending the latter's capability. For instance, knowledge and skills on any subject can now be downloaded and stored directly within the brain. As well as basic information and data, this includes many physical abilities. A person can learn self-defence, for example, become an expert in any sport, or be taught to operate a new vehicle, all within a matter of seconds.

The world has been transformed by this fusion of people and machines. The vastly greater power of AI means that it has become, simultaneously, both master and servant to the human race.

The benefits of this human-AI merger require the extensive use of implants, however – something which a significant minority of the population still refuses to accept. Compared to transhumans, these non-upgraded humans are becoming like cavemen – thousands of years behind in intellectual development.* Unable to comprehend the latest technology, the world around them appears "fast" and "strange" from their increasingly limited perspective.* This is creating a major division in society.

The bit about learning a new physical activity in seconds I can't see becoming reality to its fullest. That requires two things without any cybernetic augmentation. Muscle memory and [physical ability are things trained into muscle over months/years of practice. So simply uploading Kung-Fi skills to the brain isn't enough for the person to be able to /do/ Kung-Fu. They would have to put the new skills in mind to practice,and build up that muscle memory.

But if they are augmented with cybernetics, then this would be possible of course.


Aside from that, floating cities will be common place most likely as regular landmasses are then submerged under water due to rising sea levels.
 
The very near future: a group of prostitutes win a landmark victory after claims that men touched them inappropriately

People will still be reading predictions made ~100 years earlier and laughing at how unrealistic almost all of them turned out to be.

And we'll all be dead, so we won't care.
 
Why would I be troubled by something I said? Are you stupid?
Your comment to his post seemed to indicate that you found what he says upsetting, you accused him have having a low iq, and you have just called me stupid!
Is you mum really your aunty by any chance?

Well anything is possible I guess. If my mum is my aunty then it makes Xmas and Birthdays kinda awkward. I do however think that if not stupid, you do have a lot to learn :)
