re: What will it be like in 2070

Singularity. Virtual environments and worlds that can simulate anything in our world. If I'm living in Shanghai and another friend is living in New York and we want to hang out, then we could upload ourselves to the Singularity and get drunk together (in theory of course).

I fear they'll mostly be dead, and if they aren't it will be more like horse racing in that people will have to be of a specific age. We will have vast cybernetic enhancements to where any bum these days could become a Tom Brady instantly. They'll be able to read things perfect, non-verbally communicate with someone, have muscular enhancements due to nano-technology. As Syndrome would say from the Incredibles "And when everyone's super, no one will be."

How do we handle terrorism
It will be entirely nano-based on both sides. Remember the smoke monster from LOST? Clouds of nanobots will be able to go in to any terror cell and kill them instantly. They would also make for fantastic spies. This is also highly concerning if terrorists are able to get their hands on billions of nanobots that could wipe out a city in mere minutes.

Well, there won't be any more "tests" per say. There will be no point in actually memorizing basic facts. Everyone will have them memorized due to their cybernetic enhancements. They will be more based around creativity and kids in junior high will be designing fully functional bridges. Their homework assignments would be solving a global crisis or designing a sky scrapper. Our schools these days will look like doggy day care in comparison.

I'll be dead so who cares.

We will all be Muslim converts, slaves to Muslims or dead.

Yeah, the guy that Bill Gates himself says is the foremost expert on Artificial Intelligence is clearly a moron just because an anonymous user on a sports message board says so.

Computers will be much more capable of "thought" and intelligently answering what we ask it, and learning will be centered more on navigating that than wrote memorization of things.
Due to this, people have much more free time which is good. Jobs will also be taken over by computers/automation which is bad. I think one of the biggest things humans will have to grapple with is income and employment and having to compete with not only lower waged workers abroad but machines that are much quicker than us, this goes for blue and white collared jobs.
People will live longer due to medical advances, the only thing that will stop this is our own laziness.
Our diet will have less meat in it, possibly substituted with an artificial meat. The reason for this is population growth and the reasources required for each pound of meat. More open ocean fish farming techniques will be employed.
Contrary to popular belief on this board it will warmer.
People will be moving away from the equator, more moving to places that were once too cold. The good news is this opens up more arable land.

Some of his stuff is out there, but 50 years ago much of what we have today would seem so. He's been our "dreamer" on the topic for quite some time.

Geeze. Intriguing.
What effect does all this have on the way wealth is viewed? It almost seems in that world you describe, wealth won't be 'as important' as it is viewed today?

Yeah, this does mean partial social and economic collapse as we know it. Singularity will change everything in ways we can't predict. It's entirely feasible that once Singularity occurs, it will completely liquidate all of our cash seeing it as illogical. It's really impossible to tell. 10 years before Singularity is estimated to hit, the world will flip it's shite preparing for the single biggest innovation not only in the history of man, but maybe since life itself started. We can not truly fathom what Singularity means and it is almost pointless forecasting what our society will be after that. One thing I think is a safe assumption is that a Singularity society will not value sports nearly as much as we currently do.

What if I were to tell you 100 years ago that I can have a face-to-face conversation in New York with someone living in Shanghai instantly? I'm pretty damn sure you would call me insane back then. It's difficult to predict where society is headed, but nanotechnology would expand human life expectancy greatly. It would be able to detect any remote disease entering the body and would be able to stop any mutations that would be harmful to the body. Hell, it could manipulate your genes to get you to an optimal height and maybe even reverse the aging process. There are animals out there that don't really age, they just get bigger and are killed by other environmental factors, like starvation. If we could figure this out and have nano-technology manage it, I see no reason why would couldn't live for centuries.

Industrial civilization will be gone due to lack of fossil energy.

Doubt anyone reading this will be here or want to be then.

To the guy who said Madden will have us using virtual reality with our bodies as remotes. Frick that, I'd like to win a game or two. All the computer guys will be based on real players.

I know I could wade thru articles about what Singularity is... But can you briefly explain it for a TD audience?

Rant will still be in meltdown over Les.

I don't think the 40 hour work week will exist. We will work on more creative outlets because we will have robots doing everything for us.
We will all have chips implanted that give us instantaneous access to information as well as keep us healthy.
Nanotechnology will revolutionize the world as discussed in previous posts.
If you want to get on an extreme end, then teleportation.
More likely, flights will go into space and come back to Earth for our destination making trips across the world in minutes.
We very well may have iron man style suits for transportation...but it will all be automated. The act of driving will be laughed at in the future as everything will be autonomous.
Our energy sources will evolve. No idea what will become the standard. Oil will likely still matter.
Sports will no longer exist physically and everything will be handled through virtual reality. In essence, the skill will be as a gamer.

Why is that delusional? Once we figure out why we age in the first place preventing it's negative effects should be only a matter (easier said than done) of figuring out ways to halt it. The big question is why do our bodies degrade?
