Default 1900-2000-2100

Technology from 1900-2000 has dramatically increased almost expotentially. What do you think transportation, medicine, ect. will be like in 2100?


This would rule hopefully it will happen:


Cloning:
If it were legal and... well heres an example: Little 10 year old Timmy Smith has an inoperable brain tumor, they had just made a huge technological leap in cloning technology so they cloned Timmy's exact brain (minus the tumor) and they didn't even have to clone the whole body. They cloned his brain and replaced it. Another thing that would need to be done for this to work is: His memories being recorded and hurray Timmy Smith is all better . Wouldn't that be great?

Exploration of Space:
In the aspect of exploration of space I hope by 2100 they'll have massive space crafts that are like mini cities. They would travel at light speed in search in alien intelligent lifeforms and/or planets that could be inhabited by humans. Colonies on the moon. That would be endless fun on my brand name YZ250F (it is a motorcross bike), endless fun would be have with 1/6th the gravity. Flying slowly through the air like 200 feet up and slowly landing on the ground. That would be infinite fun.


No More School:
Oh yeah Chardish brought something up I've been thinking about on and off for a long time. Kinda like in the matrix you could be able to be plugged into a database and all the information in the world would be uploaded into your brain. Now that would be so awesome. It would eliminates the school system saving billions or possibly trillions of dollars by then. A kid that can speek 90+ languages at the age of 2.
+Oh yeah and tsutter are we cool? No hard feelings?

"Where is the Remote To The T.V.?" "Timmy Will We Get Yours Installed Soon Okay Honey?":
Have a modem installed into your brain so you could do EVERYTHING by mind. Turn the T.V. on/off chance channels, type on the FFR Forum, bring the car to you so you can hop in it (if there are cars during that time), and all that great stuff... If this stuff is apart of the future I'd be in heaven. I hope everyone would appreciate the (#$% out of it! Oh yeah, another thing: A micro chip installed into your brain to control some of your bodies functions better, like, going to sleep instantly and waking up at some exact time. Oh man drool. This would make living so much easier it would be stupid.

EDIT: Needed a HUGE grammar revision and typing revision, it was a horrible mutiliated mess.
EDIT: Please give me feedback: Opinions, thoughts, facts, ideas, anything. So far this post has been edited about 5 times.

I was thinking about this myself.

Communication as it exists now is instantaneous, so there's really no room for that to improve.

Transportation could use a huge boost. AKA, instant teleportation or better cars on better roads...or in the air.

The average length of life will extend further and further until humans can live up to 200.

There won't be health problems for those with money.

Etc etc etc.

It's a good thing I believe in reincarnation so I can witness these events myself.

Anyone born after 1985 should live up to over 100 years old so says a news column a while ago. I will be able to see 2088+ hopefully. For some reason I think transportation has a lot of room to improve, theres a ton of crazy new space aircraft ways of purpulsion like plasma reactors with a fission core type crazy stuff, some discovery channel or something.

I've always thought about this..transportation definitly has room to improve (faster, more stable, less pollution inducing, possibly air-bound vehicles). Some kind of...mollecular transporting device to get from one landmark to another (Chrono Trigger anyone?), maybe? Who knows, maybe there's thousands of foreign planets and races we haven't even come into contact with yet that we could possibly discover over the course of 100 years.

Medicine..well, let's just hope they find a cure for AIDS and all that, eh?

And Jurs; this is Critical Thinking, not Critical Stupidity, stop confusing the two.

What are you talking about, this technology was available in 1000 A.D.

Technology available in 100 years? I think the revolutionary technology we'll see will be the mind-machine interface. Imagine being able to perform actions on your computer at the speed of thought, or having all the information you want downloaded into your brain. Want to learn Russian and you don't know it already? Plug yourself into your computer and sit there for 10 minutes while it downloads. Want to calculate pi to 5,000 digits? Just do it in your brain! The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited about it.

I think daily life'll change a lot less than people think. Most of the advances will be in science, particularly from stem cell research and potential. There will be a lot of new options available in medicine within the next 100 years.

Dangit Chardish, stop giving me hope for the future. Not only do I want to use those, I want to BUILD those.

Here I go!

That would be a mess of a future, not one bit of it will happen.

First off, you understand that once even if they could clone Timmy's brain (it would still have the tumor, unless you were referring to stemcell research, in which case replacing the whole brain is unnecessary) that would no longer be Timmy. The real Timmy would have died, and the new Timmy would be a clone.. so Timmy Smith isn't all better, a clone now exists, not the original.

As for the space thing, that would be great and all, but I don't see most of the things you mentioned happening within the next 500 years, if not more.. -_-

Downloading into our brains? Not in our great grandchildren's lifetimes, if ever. A neural interface with the brain? The idea brings up worse things, like hacking and brain frying.. I don't think it will ever happen, but sure, it's great in theory. Then again, so is Communism.

You're looking at this wrong Aedak, first this thread is about what do you think 2100 will have in store for us. Plus my opinions are opinions, you treat them as if I'm saying they're 100% fact. They could be wrong but that doesn't matter. In this thread you should say "you know what zild? I don't think 2100 will have that stuff about 'cloning' because -------------------- I think it will have ---------. You take things way too offensively man. Just chill okay? Now what do you think 2100 will be like?

I'm not taking any offense to it, you obviously don't understand the english language. You presented a hypothetical future, and I explained that would be nice and all, but why it can't and won't happen. Bursting your bubble? Maybe. Better luck next time.

That's why I didn't join this thread sooner. The realization that none of this will be possible is a harsh slap in the face.

Cloning? I'm sure it'll happen more often, but not legally. If it is legal, thank the heavens. The government has no right to control that sort of decision.

Yes, the exploration of space will continue, but I will predict that it will mainly use robotics to man these missions. After the multiple accidents with shuttles we're grounded for a while, but we've flown since. There will be a short period of development and eventually we'll lift off again.

I'm not so sure that we'll lose schools. The interaction that we gain in going to school is far to precious to give up. The very fact that we'll have the ability to safely stick a needle deep into someone's spinal cord or skull is insane as is.

Not to mention the use of internal modems. Please, don't even joke about this. I wouldn't dare consider putting an entertainment system in my head. It distracts too much and thereby reduces prodectivity of the workers and the rich.

No, I would like to think that the next century doesn't hold much in store for us except maybe self destruction. (See song: In the Year( 2525) )

Had I the ability to lock this thread, I would.

Yes, some of zildjians ideas are quite farfetched, but think about how technology has come along in the last 100 years. I don't think it will develop to the point of zildjians proposed future, but it most certainly will develop much farther than what we are currently at (that's a given).

Cloning has already seemed to come a far way, so I have no doubt that will soon be perfected. But Q, I agree with you to a point here...government should not have COMPLETE control over cloning -but- they should control the research of cloning, to an extent. Some would argue that they should have control over who gets cloned as well (assuming cloning also clones the exact personality of the recipient.)

If (and I mean IF, as this is easily the most farfetched idea zilj threw out) we were to do away with "normal" schooling, and started downloading information into your brain (The Matrix :P), you would still get plenty of interaction with your peers. If the only interaction you get is at school that's pretty poor (this coming from myself, a homeschooled student). Granted, a lot of socializing comes from school, but if you could simply download everything you learn from years of schooling into your brain within an hour you'd get much more interaction than just sitting in a desk listening to a teacher drone on for hours every day.

Internal modems....that idea is just silly, kind of reminds me of Ghost in the Shell.

Oh yeah..and I guess I'll be the first to say lolol Q you made a grammar error. Sorry.

As far as the mind machine interface, scientists are already working on this. They have successfully grafted computer parts to a monkey's brain that can read the monkey's electrical impulses and control a mechanical arm. There is still a long way to go of course, but it is already being done in extremely limited forms. Within 100 years, I think it is entirely possible that mind machine interfaces will be extremely advanced, possibly even to "downloading" information.

I hope not, that's a scary notion... I can only see the negative aspects of the idea right now; potential for abuse.

I don't see why people think we have little to improve in over the next century. It is obviously hard to conceptualize a world with impossibilities (according to you) like neural interaction and what not. Bring a Wireless laptop back to 1905 and let them point out the numerous impossibilities.

think about the advances from the past 3 centuries
(I dont feel like wasting my time writing them down...just think about it)

1700-1800 -huge changes
1800-1900 -huge changes
1900-2000 -huge changes
2000-2100- very little change
so all of a sudden we know everything, right?

At the turn of the 19th century, we thought we knew everything there was to know about our world. Except for the fact that most of their theories were incorrect. What we now know (in terms of modern science) could also be untrue. Evidence isn't altogether trust worthy either; other variables that were previously unseen may be factored in as well: for example, the necessity of oxygen in combustion reactions (such as lighting a candle) was not known for a while (I know this is a bad example...its the only one I could think of). Things on the molecular level was inconceivable a couple of centuries ago. Also, we base our hypotheses on things that could merely be coincidences. The tides for example are known to be caused by the pull of the moon. But do we really know this? Could this not just be a coincidence with something else causing the tides? This may sound ridiculous, but because there is no measurable data, it is only a theory...the basic understanding of the truth.

Lupin is 100% right. A lot of people think cold fusion is impossible right now but a select few scientists believe its a real naturally occuring thing. And actually it happens all the time in a nuclear reaction but its so rare it doesn't affect it.
