hexcalibrate Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 [size="3"][font="Arial Narrow"][center]the future is something that no one can predict, (i'm not getting into the con that is psychics). 100 years ago, the word robot was first invented, (back then it meant "worker") but soon after with horses being replaced with the metal contraption that is the car, people then got the idea of people being replaced with metal men. when the plane was refined by 1914, people got the idea of anti-gravity. in 1961 man made it into space, and the idea of moon collinies and space exploration came to light. these events are all at least 50 years old and these possibilties have not yet been reached, but what of todays future? 50 years ago people thought by now we would be rocketing to the moon for lunch and that metal men would be fulfilling our every whim, but what can we imagine the world would be like by the 22nd century?[/center][/font] discuss todays tomorrow[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRenji Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 [quote name='Paint Thinner For Blood' timestamp='1308261331' post='5288560'] discuss todays tomorrow [/quote] Today's Tomorrow will be Friday June 17, 2011. I believe by that time, people will still be posting jokes about robots in this thread. But on a serious note, I think the future could be fairly bright. I believe by the year 2100, humans will probably would have walked on the surface of Mars, science and medicine will be quite a bit more advanced than it is now, a lot more solar and wind energy, we could have little assistant robots(to cook for us, feed the dog etc.) and Video Games would probably be [u][i]amazing[/i][/u]!

Mehmani Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'm reading the Foundation Trilogy by Asimov right now and it seems rather plausible for a science fiction series. Truly new forms of technology have not been invented in recent years. Computers will get smaller, but I doubt the world will change too much.

An idiot after my own heart. But yes, everything is possible if Parallel Universes exist. That includes AI, but the chances of AI being produced in the near future are so small that they would be considered mathematically impossible.
