What do you think technology will be like in the next 50 years?

Question

- How much do you think technology will change?
- What do you think could possibly invented?
- etc.

Answer 1

that's a big open ended question!! I think that in the near future wireless technology is going to become more advanced and very popular. Those pesky wires coming out of your mouse and keyboard..ect..ect are all going to be replaced with wireless connectivity. This goes for data transfer as well. further in the future I would expect advances in fuel cell technology and alternate sources of power for automobiles and homes. Remember that innovation is almost always spurred through necessity!

1. There will be no need for typing in any yahoo answers because voice recognition software will be well developed you talk and your computer types for you. Video conferencing will be advanced the whole of Europe will be able to have discussion groups whilst all seeing each other.

2. There will be no car drivers you just tell your car where you want to go and the on board computer will drive you there whilst you chat away on your wireless laptop. Airoplanes will not have pilots they will fly on their on.

3. The President of the USA will be a Robot and we may all be slaves of that Robot as it will be indestructable.

4. All breakdown in gadgets will be detected before they occur and when they final breakdown spares will be ready to be installed by computers and Robots, there will be no Down time.

5. GOOD NEWS for NHS patients you will not have to visit the NHS for anything you will just seat in front of your computer and you will receive medical treatment through it. Even when you need an operation you will just lie on you kitchen table and a computer which may be controlled remotely by human beings will operate on you.

6. All organ transplants will be from genetical engineered organs even the blood flowing through human beings will be artificial. If you break you bones you could be able to visit a body spare parts shop and buy spares for your body you could even be buying them through the internet.

7. Money the root of all evil will no longer be the medium of exchange. Virtual money will be used.

9. Travel between any 2 places on earth will take less than an hour.

10. Human beings will be able to make their oxygen, will be able to make rain or snow.

Most natural disaters will be easily manageble.

Answer 3

Power-line connectivity baby! It'll move exobytes and will solve the problem of not being able to get high speed internet in some areas. It's currently being developed in some places in Europe, U.S., and Austrailia and will be a little while before it's viable for commercial use. The objective? You'll be able to plug your computing device into the wall and recieve internet as long as you have powerlines in your city. It's a whole nuther ballgame for those poor network security folks.
Oh yeah, in reference to the global warming issue, there is a plan to set 8 satilites to orbit the planet mars which will communicate with the satilights in Spain, U.S., and Austrailia facing the southeern hemisphere so that when we make a leap to man our first 3 year mission to mars, the astronauts/space pioneers will be able to check their email.

Answer 4

The 21st century feels like a letdown. We were promised flying cars, space colonies and 15-hour workweeks. Robots were supposed to do our chores, except when they were organizing rebellions; children were supposed to learn about disease from history books; portable fusion reactors were supposed to be on sale at the Home Depot. Even dystopian visions of the future predicted leaps of technology and social organization that leave our era in the dust.Looking beyond the blinking lights and whirring gizmos, though, the new century is shaping up as one of the most amazing periods in human history. Three great transitions set in motion by the Industrial Revolution are reaching their culmination. After several centuries of faster-than-exponential growth, the world's population is stabilizing. Judging from current trends, it will plateau at around nine billion people toward the middle of this century. Meanwhile extreme poverty is receding both as a percentage of population and in absolute numbers. If China and India continue to follow in the economic footsteps of Japan and South Korea, by 2050 the average Chinese will be as rich as the average Swiss is today; the average Indian, as rich as today's Israeli. As humanity grows in size and wealth, however, it increasingly presses against the limits of the planet. Already we pump out carbon dioxide three times as fast as the oceans and land can absorb it; midcentury is when climatologists think global warming will really begin to bite. At the rate things are going, the world's forests and fisheries will be exhausted even sooner. The trends are evident in everyday life. Many of us have had the experience of getting lost in our hometowns because they have grown so much. But growth is slowing as families shrink. Ever more children grow up not just without siblings but also without aunts, uncles or cousins. (Some people find that sad, but the only other way to have a stable population is for death rates to rise.) Chinese goods line Wal-Mart shelves, Indians handle customer-service calls, and, in turn, ever more Asians buy Western products. Spring flowers bloom a week earlier than they did 50 years ago because of global warming, and restaurants serve different types of fish than they used to because species that were once common have been fished out.Looking at the present era in historical context helps to put the world's myriad problems in perspective. Many of those problems stem, directly or indirectly, from growth. As growth tapers off, humanity will have a chance to close the books on them. A bottleneck may be tough to squeeze through, but once you do, the worst is behind you.

The transitions we are undergoing define the scope of the challenges. Scientists can estimate, at least roughly, how many people will inhabit Earth, what they are going to need and want, what resources are available, and when it is all going to happen. By the latter half of this century, humanity could enter an equilibrium in which economic growth, currently driven by the combination of more productivity, more people and more resources, will flow entirely from productivity--which would take much of the edge off conflicts between the economy and the environment. Old challenges will give way to new ones. This process is already evident in countries at the leading edge of the transitions. The Social Security debate in the U.S., like worries about pensions in Europe and Japan, is the sound of a society planning for life after growth.

Answer 5

Well based on what's happening now, all that happens is technology just gets combined (camera phones, phones with computer capabilities, etc.) Computers get slightly better, and phones only because of the computers, but that's about it. Cars may become more gas efficient, though I doubt it, because I believe that gas/car companies are working togeather as far as prices go. But who knows...Kind of impossible to forsee...

Answer 6

The mind boggles doesn't it.Look how much technology has moved in the past 20years and its accelerating all the time.Its beyond me what will come next.

Answer 7

Flying cars and meals in pill form. Lol, I think people were saying that crap fifty years ago. Umm, I think a car that runs on stupidity would be a good invention

Answer 8

Terrifying.
We will change...via technology..as Now.
If they harness 'solar sails' or similar things..
Earth is an "old boot"...Corporations and 'Time'.
Death will not change..Maybe some artificial Sun.
Keep them sorted son.

Answer 9

a million)Flying automobiles 2)workers paintings from everywhere (much less site visitors interior the morning and nighttime, great quickly on the spot connections enable that). 3)friendly "clever" robots as your assistants, they chat with you, instruct you (few issues), friendly with the elderly (as companions and helpers).

Answer 10

It might be like that Spaceballs film.

But It'll probably be realy advanced, I wonder what the pc's and mobiles 'll be like?

I suppose health and hospitals will get some good stuff
