What do you think the world will be like 50 years from now, in the 2070s? And specifically, what kind of tech do you think will surprise to the upside by that time, and become pretty dominant or ubiq...

Things I think that might underperform or not exist:
1. the model for consistent, incremental updates when it comes to software or phones. Basically, the concept of “versions” might have to be something we change
2. Energy derived from the earth
3. Centralization
4. Current education system

What the future might be like:
1. Today’s world is the prequel to 2070. Prior to 2070, I think there will be more emphasis on like virtual worlds. Think ethereal, bioluminescent lights, holographic. The subject of consciousness might come into play. Right now is the disruption before we get to this however. By 2070, Think Pioneer. I think humans might go to Mars lol by like a lot a lot.

2. Details, precision, speed, size, especially in the health sector is really important. Dunno what that looks like technology wise, but it’s beyond AI of today. I would think something related to the mind and brains.

3. I think there might be technology that will push boundaries that have deep ethical concerns due to its “taboo” nature. Again, beyond AI because I think by 2070 I hope we’ve had talks about ethical concerns by then

4. I think energy innovation will be important because it’ll find a way to structure our environment in a more organized and efficient way

5. We’re more likely to refine ships to mars than flying cars, but it’ll probably be a start. I give flying cars a 2100 timeframe.
