What happens over 100 years?
What are the new technologies?
What will dissapear?
Discuss over it here!

I think that they have hoverboards then.

i think everbody has to wear sunblocker 5.000.000
if people dont want to burn in the nuclear desert :cry:

I dont want to ruin this topic so...

people might live in the bowels of earth where they might invent stuff, too :D

if they dont invent sunblocker 5.000.000 :bye:

Those already exist. Did you ever seen Back to the Future? They are not fake, those overboard existed at the time they did that movie. ;)

I think everyone will be wearing tin foil in surprising shapes just like they told us we would be now in the 50s. Now it is the new millenium it's only a matter of time before flying cars which will lower the amount of roadkill and pedestrian casualties.

i think that everyone will be able to do the goatse LOL

100 years?

We will be gone /-

That's ok by me, I'm not gonna live to *quick maths* 116 methinks but I wouldn't mind...

We'll be ruled by protoplasmic beings of my creation! muhahahahaha
seriously, I have no idea. :blink:

I cant die MUHAHAHA. We will become lazy i mean LAAAAAAAZY and this will lead us to our end. (atleast the humans...but if there are no more humans > no more blood :cry: what Im going to do??? :cry:)

Hmm, I don't really care - I just live for the day or better said in the present and near future :whistle:

within the next 100 ears I will become the worlds greatest tenor to ever live, surpassing the Three Tenors and Andrea Bocelli by light years in ability, and everyone will sell out concert halls to see me. I plan to make my home at either the Berlin or Italian Opera.

One thing is for sure in 100 years we will all be covert in dirt
optimism is just not my nature

Hoverboard
Hoverboard too

They'll have hover-everything. Hovercars, hovertanks, hoverbuses, hovertrains, hoverlawnmowers, hover-hovercrafts LOL , hoverplanes LOL ,hoverhelicopters LOL , well this is just getty silly but yeah. I'm sure you get my point.

Hoverlawnmowers... how would it get close enough to cut the grass then? It's just plain useless to have it hover :bleh:

LOL LOL

I know, it's just as useless as a hoverplane.

Actually, a hoverplane'd be just a plane.

Screwdrivers with minature buit-in radar devices.

i mean That everybody have flying skateboards and other cool stuff.
(I hope that floppy's there still live)

Uhhh...There are already hover mowers.

Some fool will probably have used an atomic device to wipe out half the world... the rest of us will probably be bitching about the remaining resources or slowly dying of radiation poisoning. We'll use our hooverboards to beat each others skulls in...

Or it could be that we start to explore the space more and more and the government system in the entire world will rebuild itself in a new, much better way... Hopefully.

Yeah but what would be the point of making them hover, I'm sure it would just cost extra money to make it hover, when it doesn't need to hover.


Hover is such a cool word. Say it hover. Cool. LOL

are you always complaining?

Are you always taking that offensive?
So what is your opinion of the future?

I don't find it offensive, just whiny

I live my life day by day and only plan my own future as much as I have that under control. Life will go on the way it has been going on for thousands of years. Markets will continue to rise and fall and our planet shall continue its cycle around the sun.

Yeah and in the year 2000 we where all supposed to live in space :D

seriously, I don't think a lot will change. Probably the processors are faster. Games look better. Cars are better. etc

But i don't expect dramatic changes. Don't forget all those nifty things to research cost shitloads of money while they won't be needed that much.

However, they always seem to have enough money to create a new bomb or fighterplane :whistle:

In c.a. 1954, some guys predicted what a computer might look like in 2004.

Here is their result (image)

LOL

I remember I read an extract from an enginneering magazine from the 40s, it saif that right now (ie, in the 40s) calculators weigh 10 tons and have 10,000 vacuum tubes, but in the future they may have as few as 1,500 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1.5 tons LOL

They'll have hover-everything. Hovercars, hovertanks, hoverbuses, hovertrains, hoverlawnmowers, hover-hovercrafts LOL , hoverplanes LOL ,hoverhelicopters LOL , well this is just getty silly but yeah. I'm sure you get my point. [/b][/quote]
Hovercars - Practical..
Hovertanks - They is in Starwars, dude!
hoverbuses - Big hovercars?
Hovertrains - Look up MagLev. Its real. Levitating trains!
Hoverlawnmowers - My friend's dad has one.
Hover-hovercrafts - :blink: what is that??
Hoverplanes - VTOL?
Hoverhelicopters - Uhh.. superhelicopters?

Quote (from Popular Mechanics in 1949): "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons" :D

i know this is kinda different from the theme of the rest of of the posts..

but, rather than the amazing technology that will available.. what really interests me is the politics of the future.

(hopefully) 3rd world nations would have caught up. i wonder what impact that poor african, asian and south american countries will have in places like the UN which are extremely Euro-Americocentric.

also, it will mean that developing nations will use much more power and resources. where's that all going to come from?

it will also be interesting to see what the influence of religion will be. it took an intellectual tradition of hundreds of years to diminish the importance of europe. i wonder what improving life standards within a hundred years will do in other places? will it be technology and religion grow together, or civil war?

I wonder if anyone will figure out how to time travel.

That will be never possible.

Holograms by school? then they make my homework!

That will be never possible. [/b][/quote]
Of course it will be.

A hundred years from now, there'll be Half Life 2 as abandonware, and hopefully, something better than the umbrella.

the whole time travel debate is a tough one..

although it does seem it's people that want to believe in its possibility vs physicists..

Of course it will be. [/b][/quote]
I also believe it could be possible.

I also believe it could be possible. [/b][/quote]
It is possible...

ANd it will be hre at the same time we can fly with lightning speed :ok:

Apparently it is impossible to travel backwards in time because it no longer exists so therefore if it doesn't exist you can't go back! This theory is true until someone brings me a dinosaur.

It's possible to travel forwards in time but you need to figure out a way to travel at a very large speed.

It is possible...

ANd it will be hre at the same time we can fly with lightning speed :ok: [/b][/quote]
Then tell us you all, why and how this will be possible. :ok:

But Timetravel is possible and humans have done it. are we not technically all travelling through time now, as we live? the one thing we cannot do is change the speed or direction in which we travel.

What we need is a big centrifuge and some elastic and some sort of gravity protection unit, true we'll only be going fast in circles but it will be VERY fast in circles.

Until you're going to throw up and die... :whistle:

Then tell us you all, why and how this will be possible. :ok: [/b][/quote]
If you could travel at the speed of light it is possible.

If you could travel at the speed of light it is possible. [/b][/quote]
Moving at the speed of light would make an object's mass infinite and would cause them to travel infinitely fast through time so it is not necessary to move at exactly the speed of light to travel forwards in time. The closer you get to the speed of light the faster you travel forwards in time (this is Einstein's theory of relativity).

WHen it`s all came to close to the end of the world..

I think we all just die... :whistle:

The future didn't happen yet, so there's only the now, present. And the future will also be only the present, just later. So why care about future? Whatever will come later in the "present" time, it will (usually) be our own work.
Somewhere I read, or heard (no idea where) that you can travel towards in the "future", but not backwards in the past... Which, if you think long enough, fits for what I said above, actually - future will be only the present that will come, but past has gone, it can't become present. ;)

I thought it was undetermined of what would happen when you reached the speed of light.

Dont think too much..

When it will happen we're all dead :angel:

You never know, it may be possible in 30 or 40 years, then again it may not be possible for 300 years and then again it may all be false and never be possible, but they have sort of proved it is possible, but I don't think it is very convincing.

Dont think it`s possible in the next 150 years..

So at that time...i`m already dead :not_ok:

good quoting :D

i thing they might find the age dna :Tom:

so we wont die any more and get bored of everything :sick:

We all become :Tom: ???

That must be really strange :angel:

thats it; smurfs dont die by age, do they

so i think i have to try even harder to catch them now

in order to anatomize them :rolleyes: :drool:

I don't know about you, but I don't want to become a :Tom: .

Actually right now whenever you travel somewhere and back you do actually travel forward in time, allbeit minute amounts but its time travel none the less. In order to get noticeable results in time traveling you have to travel around half the speed of light. Now as far as traveling the spped of light, it is impossible to accelerate to light speed however theoreticly with the use of wormholes you can travel faster than the speed of light.

When DNA is copied, the copying machinery in the cell is unable to start at the very end of the DNA molecule. Instead it must start (and finish) several 'words' into the long string of code. The new chromosome that results is therefore a tiny bit shorter at each end than the one it was copied from.

So how does the new cell manage without this bit of its genetic code? The way round the problem is that at the ends of the chromosomes there is a stretch of genetic code which is meaningless rubbish - code which is designed to be lost each time the cell reproduces. This is the telomere. The telomere consists of a sequence of 6 amino-acids, TTAGGG, repeated over and over again about 2,000 times. A few of these repeats are lost every time the chromosomes are copied when the cell divides. After a few hundred divisions, the telomeres are getting so short that there is a risk that meaningful genes will soon be missed off - vital code begins to fray. (In humans telomeres shorten by about 31 'letters' or amino-acids a year, more in some types of cell.) Eventually the ends of our chromosomes become so frayed that the cells are no longer able to reproduce themselves effectively, as new cells are formed without essential information and cannot survive.

This is why our cells age. With time cells and organs don't work as well as they should and the body starts to deteriorate, making it more vulnerable to disease. Through evolution our telomeres have developed to survive about 75 to 90 years of cell division. But telomere length is strongly inherited, which may explain why some families are long lived - these people may have longer telomeres than most.

That's why Dolly the sheep died so young, most sheep live for 12 years, Dolly's parent sheep was 6 when the DNA was taken and Dolly died of old age at 6, aging carries on through cloning.

I hope that Valentine day dissapear...

In, the future, there will be hundreds of ice cream trucks holding undercover IRS agents. They pounce on anyone who has money to pay for the ice cream, cause by that time, the taxes are so high, that if anyone has money left for ice cream, the haven't paid their taxes. :sneaky:

In the future, there will be 100,000,000 TV channels.










.........








But nothing to watch!! :evil:

We can watch al the "good" old stuff..

Like our childeren can watch again:

Allo Allo

A-Team

Tour of Duty

And all the other great series :ok:

A-Team! A-Team!!!
You gotta love that show. However if they make A-team The Nect Generation there's no chance of it being as good. So maybe that will be in the future too along with the end of the world.

I hear America were trying to teleport, wonder if they'll succed.

Depends on how far into the future.

Sometime in the next 50 - 100 years all firearms will be replaced with electric slug throwers. Low-orbit transport will replace airplanes as the method of choice for long-distance travel. The first attempts to explore Mars on foot will have just landed, to be met with what we've known all along: It's an inhospitibal hell hole. Terraforming reserch will then become the forefront reason for keeping NASA around. American and Russian relations will flounder as another Space Race begins, only to strengthen once again when all is said and done.

Planetside, cloning research will continue in secret as a method of attaining immortality by the world governments, while publicaly (sp?) they will all denounce it on various grounds, most of which will be rooted in religion. America will continue to bloat on it's own crapulence until eventually breaking up into numberous smaller nations after massive internal government fueding over personal politics. The entire world will continue to choak on coal and fossil fuel-based power while plasma, solar, and hydrogen-based fuels are developed and subsequently shot down as being innefectual and less effective. Cars will continue to become more and more powerful, while the drivers will remain the same, slow to respond and dim-witted. Eventually electrics will replace all fuel-based cars and any gas company that doesn't switch over will die. Along with this cars will leave their driver's control and become, in effect, track vehicles, following grooves in the road to their destinations, probably in long "trains".

I've got a lot more, but that's it for now.

@ xoopy

Ok....

The world is turning and so we centrifugate.

even if we could manage to make our dna stronger
we would still wear down after a couple of time :smoke:

there is no escape from death :butcher:

except we could make the world not to turn anymore :D

"maybe" if you move more often to different places you might

not be affected by centrifugation so much :blink: :crazy:
(chapter one, capitel 7 of my own science :tomato: )

Bye :bye: Bye

I hope that they make Windows versions of the good, old, fantastic games!

(wait: maybe they doesn't HAVE Windows anymore....)
