Fair elections, flying cars, a decent gaming experience without paying to win, genetically engineered catboys (and catgirls I guess), clean and safe water for all, energy that doesn't cost an arm and a leg OR harm the planet, all of these things seem to be ideas of a bygone era when we were told the future was imminent! Kids these days just say 'O.K. Boomer nocap skibidi gyat phantom tax' and post my whining on the tiktok machine whenever I rant about these utopian ideals, but I ain't getting any younger and I'm tired of being told the future is just around the corner. /rant
I joke, somewhat. The future is indeed now, I'm amazed every day at the laser options now vs. ten years ago, AI is impressive but scary as people race to 'create god', entertainment is so easy to get now we're all jaded and pandering is pretty intense putting some of us off it altogether but it does exist in spades, and for a select few of us lucky enough to be born in the right circumstances we live cleaner and safer lives than generations past.
What are you looking forward to in our imminent future? Any technology, innovations, discoveries, etc that give you hope for our species? Just curious, please share.
