FUTURE technology??

[Svetlana]

Hey guys...i know in the future there willl be some crazy new technology that i can't even imagine..right now..lol!!!! What exactly do u guys think it could be ..that can actuallly work..and can be invented??? ENEY IDEAS?? :crtmn:

[grendel 13]

i think that nano technology is going to be the big one. it's totally probable and can be utalized to combat almost any problem.

i'am not familiar wit nano... can u explain it to me..maybe i know..lol but i just never knew its name!!

yeah no prob. it's just the use of atoms and molecules to build machines, such as building engines on a molecular scale, there is a broader definition here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology)

OHHHHH oOKKKKK now i understand...lol thanxx!!

Nano technology is small machines,or robots, To build them you need a microscope.This idea has been around for a bit,and it has some amazing potential,like if they used them in medical sceince.They could theoreticaly seek out and destroy viruses or cancer cells ect.they would float through your blood stream attacking anything that should not be there.But it has a sinister side as well.Imagine microscopic robots meant to harm you from within.or for spying purposes,youd never know they were there.They could perform micro surgury on your heart or brain ect.That technology in the wrong hands could have awful results for human kind.If used right,it could benefit mankind.Imagine never being sick as long as you had colonys of zillions of this tiney robots in your blood stream.
Or in combat,if your shot,and the bullet comes through,they could set to work mending tissue,bone and damaged blood vessels.The possibilitys are endless,but for every good use for them,there could be 100 bad uses.
They are studying this idea and have had some success actually making them.

[Svetlana]

Wow Demonskates...nice defention..now i undeerstand evn more.....wow i realllly can't imagine little robots using u too much..!! those scientists should be carefyl!!Lol

[Demonskates]

I figure scentists hearts are in the right place,they could use it to attack aids cells ect.that would be fantastic,but the millitary,they scare me,they would find bad ways to use that stuff.It would be so simple to mail a box to your enemy, with those little nano bots in it,when the package is opened,they would crawl out and seek their target,and you would never know it,they would be too small to see with the naked eye.Youd be sitting in your office and they would work there way into you through pores or somthing and attack the cells that make up your vital organs.when they are done they just crawl out and disperse.freaky stuff.the cause of death would be your internal organs being liquified from the bots destroying cells.it would be hard to explain how that happened.very scarey.

I also think the nanotechnology is going to be a big one.

Cures for diseases such as AIDS, diabetes. cancer, and , if we are lucky, viruses such the common cold and influenza.

New ways to be connected. I'm envisioning clothes wired to the Internet, so no matter where you are your connected to the world.

Breakthroughs in physics that might allows to travel to other solar systems.

Lazserus had a great thread about using antimatter as a fuel source for space travel.The only problem is it reacts explosivly with matter,so the 64 million dollar question is how to contain antimater without blowing yourself and everything around you to peices.

[lazserus]

For starters, nanotechnology already exists today. I've seen pictures of processors more powerful than home computer processors no larger than the size of a flint used in a Zippo. The technology exists, but most people associate the technology with biology, such as nanobots repairing cells and the likes.


Cures for diseases such as AIDS, diabetes. cancer, and , if we are lucky, viruses such the common cold and influenza.
I'm not so optimistic. I doubt cures will actually ever be developed, but medicines that will keep the afflictions in check are more likely. There's entirely too much medicine in pharmaceuticals to create cures. Consider the rapidly increasing prices for medication that subside the effects of certain mental disorders. Medication is becoming more and more expensive globally. Pharmaceutical companies are ranking in the money by preventing cures. The money isn't in the cure, it's in the medicine.


New ways to be connected. I'm envisioning clothes wired to the Internet, so no matter where you are your connected to the world.
Actually, internet coats are already available on the market. They're extremely expensive, but have been available for at least 5 years now. I can't recall how they connected, because wireless was rarely used 5 years ago and that seems to be the only logical step. Just Google it, I bet you'll find something.

Realistically, we probably will never be able to have interplanetary travel like in the movies. Once we locate a habitable planet, we'd have to build a gigantic craft to transport people there. Even with propulsion as advanced as harnessing antimatter for energy would take several generations. The earliest time frame postulated was 100 years. Space travel's problems don't solely revolve around our lack of appropriate propulsion, but many other factors. For instance, if we were to send humans to start populating another planet we would have to send a ship filled with 50 couples at the least in order to avoid future genetic deformities due to incestial offspring. In all likelihood, it would be our great grandchildren that would set foot on a new planet. Not only is there a numbers issue, there's the issue of gravity. Astronauts who spend 18 months in earth's orbit on the space station can hardly stand when returning to earth. They have to go through months of physical therapy due to muscle atrophy and calcium deficiencies in their bones. The only way to prevent the atrophy is by having personal centrifuges. On top of that there's vertigo. They've bred mice on the space station and those brought back to earth don't know the difference between up and down. There are many many obstacles to get past before we can consider populating other worlds.

We generate antimatter on earth often enough. The thread I wrote had a link that contained ideas for safely generating antimatter and properly distributing the energy from collisions. The thread is in the Science forum.

yes nanotechnology is potentially awesome, I like the idea of how a swarm of advanced and intelligent nano builder bots equiped with nano lathes can build buildings and armies in seconds seemly materializing right before your eyes. The idea is the nanos have a program and you just spray them where ever you want them to build and they get to it, they can maintain it too, so if it damages they instantly can repair it. Just imagine you had a team of nano bots for your car. It would look brand new every day. Some how they would need a supply of materials and energy but as long as they did anything should be possible.

biotechnology too is something to think about we already see this in things like gm crops and modified cattle. Biotech could have some really nasty implications, as well as new forms of intelligence and technology all together. Not sure I like biotech so much, but everything has its positive and negatives right?

Hopefully scientist could find a way to travel through space much faster so we could find a planet to live on before earth ends. Curse all you people who use hair spray don't you know that that burns up the ozone layer so it's a lot hotter.

[Perfectionist]

Who needs a planet ?? !!

We can all live on massive Starships with all the amenities available on planet Earth ..... and cruise through space forever .....

All we need is Food, Water and Energy ...... all can be provided with technological advances in Power Generation and Agriculture and ofcourse Recycling !!

[RhymnRzn]

this is gettin good, isn't it? :2thumbs:

[Skynet12]

I reckon we will all end up living in a world of automated sex machines, bottomless bins, sugared chocolate without the badness and the british empire back in power with Jak99 (!) as the emperor! :2thumbs:

[Jupiter]

Sounds good!

[Skynet12]

yay! Ok, jupiter- you gather the most intelligent scientists you can find and well make it happen! Oh, wait- were on ao- theres hundreds on here...

[Svetlana]

HAHA......those are some ideas lol!!

[Skynet12]

ideas ?

[MandalorianCrush]

for the next twenty years, the tech i can see are octocore processors. so far, we use dual core and are moving onto quad-core processors by '08. also, i can see cleaner cars and possibly thinner, new, lighter PCs. also, since medical science has gone farther than before, i can see new treatments. if only we (in America) can get Bush to stop with the ethics and religious rants, and let us try using stem cells, maybe we can create something to use those with too.

[Britannia]

Holodecks would be great! Imagine creating any simulation you can ever imagine, and then being part of it.

[Sammy56]

Holodecks would be awesome. You could go on a vacation without ever actually going anywhere. I mean, no location would be closed to you. Granted, it's still wouldn't be the real thing, but it would be as close as some people might ever get.

[Skynet12]

I would like that, though the octoprocessing sounds far too good to miss!

[Kohler]

i'm assuming that nano technology is very expensive lol. say if in the future this technology can cure cancer, virus and disease do you think this will be available to the general population or just those who can afford it?

[Skynet12]

probably not.
Example: wildlife shows give animals tags so they can find them. question: why not uisethese in all life-belts? answer: tight goverment.
