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 ubiquitous? And what tech do you think will underperform expectations, and not exist at the scale that people now might’ve guessed would be common by then?

If bitcoin fails, it will be like Cyberpunk 2077.

I’m surprised that 3D printing hasn’t caught on more. The idea that supply chains and manufacturing would be disrupted was very interesting to me, but I don’t know if it’ll ever happen.

Given AI and quantum, you really have to wonder if we can even put words to the possibilities. Annihilation? A non-zero chance. Utopia? Probably not. The Matrix? Possibly? Global warming? Most certainly, but maybe AI can solve that. CRISPR and other techs will allow designer babies. Will we? Fus...

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 W...

I think we might have smaller regenerative farms serving local areas more than large agriculture

To the upside: unhackable key pair credentials. To the downside: traditional logins, SSNs, 2FA and everything built upon it Go nostr only, Lyn!

Hate to say it but VR and augmented reality. Meta is on to something big.

Biomedical engineering will be the upside surprise. Cloning organs and boosting natural recovery is highly marketable. Space exploration will underperform the farther it departs from earth. Mars rocks will sell for 10x fuel cost to import. Million dollar rocks will become status symbols: the Jone...

The wheel. All we are doing at this point, in our special iteration of civilization, is hedging to minimize the downside.

Humanity will have more energy and money than we know what to do with. All problems will have likely disappeared by that point as one by one we focus resources and efforts on them. Poverty will be gone. Hunger will be gone. Unaffordable housing, education and healthcare will be a thing of the past. ...

No quantum computing. No fusion. No human-like robot adoption. No VR/AR worth mentioning. No advancements in battery technology to enable large scale solar. No brain computer interfaces in mainstream society. Bullish on autonomous driving vehicles , nuclear energy and mars human exploration.

Tech will serve people, not companies & it will be auditable by anyone. Open Source will be dominant. There will be less need for work. Contribution rather by will than requirement. AI will underperform expectations. Nuclear fusion reactors & space exploration more common. Deextinction of some anim...

Bitcoin will be the global reserve asset. AI will elevate human potential, and energy will be decentralized. Space might be part of the real economy.Flying cars and sentient AI will still underdeliver I think. Nation-states may weaken as Bitcoin-backed city-states rise. I think we’ll see bitcoin e...

Flying cars, probably still stuck in traffic. AI overlords, definitely taxing us to death. Upside surprise: personalized immortality for the elites. Underperforming: empathy. It'll be extinct.

AGI will still not have happened. The AI bubble currently gives the impression that Artificial General Intelligence is just round the corner, but there is still a massive hurdle between smoke-and-mirrors LLM projects vs actual sentience, reason, creativity, and critical thinking. However, Robots wil...

The technology of the human avatar by connecting with yourself within. No external devices, or leaders, or trends, or anything. The world will look like it should from its origin.

Most cities around the world are empty and decaying. People have largely transitioned back to living in rural communities where they mostly self govern small local populations. There is a reconnection with the land and the human spirit and people are much more self sufficient. However, we still have...

It is really very difficult to predict such distant future. I think everything will depend where we will be in 2030. Is sovereign debt bubble will burst or in order not to default on their debt will the West go to war as Martin Armstrong predicts? Is Trump going to succeed turning US empire to US re...

The world probably won't have me in it by then (hopefully I will). 50 years ago, touchstone was radical. An integrated circuit was wonderous. We still were celebrating the first steps on the moon, and we had our first CIA planted president. Whatever is wonderous today will be banal and obsolete in ...

Humans have bifurcated to those who merge with AI and those who have not. Merged humans have expanded starward, experiencing joy and manifest destiny while also missing the limitation of physical form. Non-merged humans enjoy the technological advances wrought by AI, exploring inward and unlocking b...
