em drive
if it really works

fusion reactor or AI

Robots that jerk you off then pour you a beer!

are you serious? It cant work because its against the very fundamentals of our science

one of the "fundamentals" of science is that the laws of science are constantly in flux as theories are proved and disproved

VR

You think it's a joke now given its infancy, but it's pretty much confirmed to be the next technological era.

>em drive
>if it really works
thanks for keks, kiddo. now go back to school and try to pass basic HS physics.

Holy fuck you are retarded.

I don't think we're ever going to "disprove" the standard model, QCD, general relativity, etc, they will either get refined or we will discover the lower-level phenomenon that undergirds them.

Think about Newtonian vs relativistic physics. Newtonian calculations are 99.9999999% accurate 99.9999999% of the time. Relativistic physics don't "disprove" it as much as they just refine it.

no you dont understand the implications if the EM drive really would work

>no you dont understand the implications if the EM drive really would work
go back to plebbit you fucking retard. you are clearly from there.

robots that jerk you off then pour you a beer are here now, you just can't be a poorfag. just find some dumb whore blinded by money and play her like a fiddle.

think the railways were more life changing than the internet

2-way BCI implants. They already exist, but only really used for experimental medical purposes. Just wait until it's used for VR and/or augmented reality.

Singularity

embedded chips in our bodies. we already have it but I'm talking about microprocessor to organic data transfer. so like you'd be able to read/write to an sd card via your brain.

Nature isn't bound to the fundamentals of our science. If it works and it's against the fundamentals of our science then our science is wrong and needs to be revised.

AI that designs AI. Google already started this and the results are better than human designed AI in a narrow problem.

bionics

Quantum skeletons

A drug that heals your body like sleep does you you can get amped up and never sleep with no ill effect.

Robot loli

AR will be as disruptive as the smartphone was.

That's like a program that enables on-line defragmentation. Not gonna happen if the system isn't designed to do that in the first place.

A drug cannot do that.

Think musk is keeping an eye on this?

>think the railways were more life changing than the internet
this to be honest

railroads and telegraph/telephony (sure electricity is the basis for everything, but its the long range instant communication that matters)

before telegraph, information travelled just as quick as a horse/pigeon

and before railroads, matter traveled just as qiuck (also bandwidth) as a horse/ship


the internet looks so life changing because half the people alive were already adults early 90s and it changed a lot in the quantity, reach, and latency of all sorts of information, but it didnt essentially change the way the world works, and what power is based on: land& natural resources control, war technology, fiat money speculation, and communication & public opinion control... not even the last one the internet changed much, the IT nerds just dreamt for a while that it could, but it didnt and wont.

dna manipulation no joke

New era of species

Mano machines

Clones.

People worry about robots but Clones are a simpler way to make every single person worthless disposable garbage.

dna level sex change

>wired
fucking pop-sci

NASA study was nonsense.

EM Drive does not work. It's just another crank bullshit.

>crank bullshit

ikr. And there's STILL people who think it's possible for a heavier-than-air machine to fly. It's like, grow a brain already.

some major biotechnology breakthrough, like implants or lab-grown macro organisms.

Alternatively, affordable atomic precision manufacturing

Biological weapons. They are already here, but not unleashed yet. Most that has been actually used is low tech stuff like bubonic plague bombs and such.

Probably some kind of nano medicine

Yes, i believe we're transitioning from the "information age" to the "genetic age", custom-engineered organisms and programmed viruses are already a thing.

Your own personal AI God. Now with a lightweight 25 petabyte cloud client.

>Not legitimate because I say so!

iPhone 8

6 arms and 6 tits please

Everyone ITT is thinking too far ahead.

>next

The NEXT life changing tech, and it's almost here, will be self-driving cars.
