How far can technology advance?

Question

Is there a limit to what we can invent, it seems like there's something new out everyday.

Answer 1

The limit might only come from lack of resources as we deplete them... I believe we do have limitations, being human beings. But to say there would never be a new invention or idea, I'd have to say no.

Answer 2

There is no end! So many of the inventions we use on earth, are deliberately given to more than one inventor at a time. Sometimes with direct inspiration. Sometimes patterns for things that are complex are put within snow flakes (no 2 being the same). Before we ever realized there would be computers, computers were being used on levels of the heavens. Thats how mortals got the ideas.They travel in the air in the heavens..We are now working on new kinds of flight. There is no end of technology.

Answer 3

How far has it advanced since the invention of the wheel ?
Why would there be a limit ?
Invention may slow & quicken with different cultures & civilizations
but there is no reason to believe it will stop..

Answer 4

It is limitless. Like our capacity to misuse it for all the wrong reasons. Arthur C. Clarke wryly observed the technology of any sufficiently advanced race would appear as magic to a less advanced one. Just imagine you went back in time and met your great-great-great-grandparents, armed with your mobile phone, digital camera, MP3 player and laptop. They'd think all those technologies were miraculous.

For all our technological ingenuity, we have still to invent something which will PREVENT starvation, inequality, intolerance, and man's inhumanity to man. So technology alone has it's limits. It's how we use it that counts.

Answer 5

As Feudalserfer above says - it's limitless. Each succession of technological breakthroughs begets another unveiling of further technological advances. It's kind of like peeling an apple - each layer revealed takes us closer to a core of perfection. Limitless in that each advance can be branched off in multiple directions with endless possible advances of their own.

Answer 6

easily, in actuality all of those technologies you describe we've already got, that is purely a count of putting them at the same time. I recommend, we've extremely-skinny laptops. we've convertible pills that have purely a single small hinge retaining them at the same time. we've touch monitors. we've touch pads - you are able to make a working laptop or laptop-sized pad and label it like a keyboard and get what you describe. we've SSDs which could enable a working laptop or laptop as properly in ten seconds flat if that is top configured. the only element i will see retaining this back might desire to be components technological understanding. the element might could be very easy and intensely good, yet we are advancing particularly quickly in that field. So hiya, who is conscious. they might could artwork on the ergonomics of this a sprint, yet i might desire to confirm something like this being available.

Answer 7

I was just thinking the same thing. I really want technology to advance. I'm sitting here waiting for it to happen. Bring IT ON.

But it doesn't seem to be happening. New stuff seems to be recycled old stuff.

Answer 8

Think about it around a mere hundred years ago the Wright Brothers were hanging around Kitty Hawk wondering if their contraption would get of the ground.

Answer 9

we can advance as far as our knowledge can take us. but keep in mind that new discoveries/techniqes/theories are being developed that yet open many more avenues and closes many chapters in the book of life. with technology, there are backlashes from a sociological standpoints, but you can never please everyone.

Answer 10

invention is only limited by imagination.
