1. Technology in 50 years?
Computing power continues to increase and in very short durations.
Cars and transportation is another thing. This is only 7 years of advancement, yet the iPhone is
about as efficient as today's modern computers. There are still some technical issues with this, but
I'm sure by 2062 we'll have them worked out.
Look at a cell phone from the year 2000, now look at an iPhone which came out in 2007 I believe.
With the advent of the quantum computer though new security measures will have to be taken on
computers since these things can crack a password in allmost no time at all. Also, keep in mind that
a quantum computer could factor a large digit number in minutes to hours verses what could take a
regular computer months to years. Codes for missile launches would have to continuously change.
There is also a new revolution in computing, the quantum computer which has been making
progress and is estimated to hit the market in about 10 to 15 years. Many companies still
manufacture these kinds of cars and the way the economy is I doubt electrical and hybrid cars will
dominate for a while since they're quite expensive but, like every other new technology, their price
will drop and we'll need more stations to charge them rather than stations for gasoline. There are
still some issues with keeping the system isolated which is necessary for a quantum computer, but
we're getting there. Already we have cars that can literally park themselves, automobiles are being
computerized as well and we already have many electrical and hybrid cars, but I think it will be
more than 50 years before we see gasoline powered automobiles completely disappear from society.
Stem cells are a great prospect for the foreseeable future and will make transplants obsolete as well
as many other benefits.
Holograms are a definite, we already have the technology.
"For some reason the pessimistic side of me thinks that we will have the same technology for the
next 50 years and not major advancements will occur."
By this time hopefully our economy will be better and we can focus on creating a colony on the
moon. By 2062 though there will probably be a sufficient drop in the number of gasoline powered
automobiles though (hopefully), but I don't think we'll have flying cars dominating the skies like you
see in those sci-fi movies for another perhaps 100 years or more.
By 2062 you may expect compters as thin as paper and more powerful than anything known in the
modern age right now.
. Stem cell research has made some great progress and there could be a way to even decrease cell
deterioration so that we can extend our life-spans. Also, with advances in medicine I would think
that by 2062 or even before we will have found a way to cure cancer. This thing has some sinister
implications for national security, but has many benefits
