sexbots

Niggers tongue my anus

VR dominatrix camwhores that peg you via remote tactile black dildos

the cuck market is ever increasing

That's too complex. I think metal sintered printers that cost dirt will be a big thing and farming robots.

Also obviously solar battery systems are going to end every other power plant in less than 20 years. It would have been quicker if gas wasn't so cheap.

Really good batteries

loodle

AI problem solving and sexbots.

Next gen battery will kill gas powered cars, like gas powered cars killed the horse for transport.

AI

And airliners, shipping vessels, and storing solar power

AI

>proceeds to drastically increase the price on them because of lawsuits
see nvidya as an example of what tech cunts do when they get smacked for fucking over their customers

Trash economy

I'm gonna agree that next gen battery will probably be the biggest, nearest disruption

AI, robots, and virtual reality are still a ways off from being disruptive

3D printers may fuck things up in the next 5 years as well

3D RAM

Teaching African students Javascript

VR hardware at affordable home consumer prices
The death of Direct X, the rise of Vulkan.

Artificial wombs, trademarked CRISPR-Perfect™ DNA babies, and mandatory (finally) state-enforced (breed me daddy Trump) homosexuality.

These are just current fads

optical computing. Electrons are slower than light.

or something developed off of 5G networking.

Air traffic are on longer investment cycle, not gonna see that for a while, rail might see some hybrid diesel/electric able to completely shut down the diesel in town, but also much longer investment scale.

Quantum.
Its getting right around the corner and it's going to start effecting cryptography in the real world soon.

EMP warfare (either from the sky like nuclear EMP, or microwave weapons)
drone warfare
also cyberwarfare to destroy critical infrastructure

My guess is neural editing

Ie no more school, just take a pill or some shit and you know calc III now

May be correct.

>cyberwarfare to destroy critical infrastructure
You know it's like.. a few orders of magnitude easier to just blow it up, right?

Offworld colonies

Giving gay men reproductive organs

Electric airliners are at least 2 breakthroughs away. Shipping vessels are ripe for solar and batts.

Formal standards for software development. Something along the lines of what we have for mathmatics. The end of the age of language churn.

NEXT breakthrough technology is mass adoption of driverless cars. Several sectors affected by it and potential productivity gains across the board.

Taxi/rideshare industry.
Transit planning overhauled.
Arterial and highway networks changing.
Traffic congestion significantly reduced.
Automated/adaptive traffic flow analysis and redirection.
Car ownership plummets: families can more easily share a single car or own no car because they use:
Overhauled rideshare and/or public transit and/or taxi. Don't need a bus, just hop in the public transit car on your street or the one you called for with a phone app.
Trucking sector disrupted.
Package delivery sector disrupted.
Persons with disabilities, blind persons have far greater independence than ever before.
Traffic fatalities/injuries are a mere fraction what they are now.

There are tonnes more examples but that's all I care to type it on my phone. The driverless cars already exist and getting closer to consumer ready. Legislation and allowing no driver or unqualified driver will take a bit longer, but it's happening.

Cheap, mass-produced, standardized, electrical actuators. Robots need more degrees of freedom.

Rare earth depletion and moore's law stagnation will force software to be much more efficient.

neural network chip based computers.

Gay men already have reproductive organs.

>Cheap, mass-produced, standardized, electrical actuators. Robots need more degrees of freedom.

DUUUUDE this
>sadface.gif
we need cheap low voltage electroactive polymers

Not together they don't
Anyway, this takes away from important discussion like how we can kill the elderly.

>> rare earth depletion causing the end of moore's law
HHAHAHHAHAHA no. Oh hell no. Computer chips use between nothing and fuck all amounts of rare earth elements. Even if computer chips had to be made of materials as rare as gold, we could still make them because computer chips use such tiny amounts of material. Oh wait, conputer chips do have gold in them...

blockchain will change the world as much as the internet has changed the world.

>Not together they don't

They each have reproductive organs. Just the same kind.

>> electroactive polymers
Are a meme. Simply mass producing rotary electric actuators would get us there. Sure, making sexbot and 'humanoids' becomes harder, but no one needs those.

Artifical intelligence for sucks sake, it literally has applications in all fields. IoT is going to flop cause theres no reason for your toaster to connect to the internet.

No one gives a shit about toasters connecting to the web, it's big expensive industrial equipment connecting to the web that's a big deal. Oh machine X makes a nasty bruma-bruma-lum sound right before it fails, we know this because it's streaming sound to some server all the time. So now you can fix said machine before it fails and ssve fuckloads of money

Carbon nanotubes (or whatever replaces silicone), actual AI, actual VR.

>causing the end
That post doesn't imply anything like that, though.

I'm pretty sure that's been a thing in most factories for the past 10 years at least.

>remote tactile black dildos
It's called teledildonics and it already exists

Me again at computer. Here's a bunch more:

Significant change of land use; parking lots are reclaimed for green space, building density, or other useful uses rather than wasted space for parked cars.
On-street parking and parking lots are replaced with street/lots designed for pickup/dropoff rather than parking.
Intersections overhauled to optimize for computer controlled throughfares that minimize stop-and-go but still allow for pedestrian/cycling traffic.
Potentially significant uptick in cycling as driverless cars improve safety and on-street parking is converted to bike lanes.
DUI collisions are significantly or completely eliminated.
People who once spent hours a day commuting can now do other things in the car, beit leisure activities or telecommuting for work while en route.
Parking enforcement mostly obsolete; able to focus resources elsewhere useful.
Policing of driving infractions mostly obsolete; able to focus resources elsewhere useful.
Car designs potentially refocused on single-seater or dual-seater designs (e.g., Smart cars).
Gas/electric charging station infrastructure obsolete. Automated cars will drive to centralized depots to refuel automatically rather than having gas/electric charging stations scattered everywhere. Similarly, all the gas transportation/resupply industry changed since you don't need to refill so many gas stations scattered around.
Car maintenance (maintenance shops, dealer garages) significantly changed. Again, centralized depots for car maintenance handled by the car providers, rather than individual owners.
Car dealers for most consumers obsoleted. Far fewer people buying/owning their own cars or multiple cars. Focus on luxury dealers/cars instead, or manufacturers selling en masse to transit providers (like bus, subway, and LRT manufacturers today).
Probably a whole new suite of various laws, regulations, taxes, etc.

singularity

Urbit

Human-machine interfaces, or internet of things (though the latter can not happen and I wouldn't mind)

Room temperature super conduction would be the best in terms of energy efficiency at a societal level. As for social changes artificial wombs or brain computer interfaces for learning.

Using self-driving cars to make all transportation public is the most bafflingly awful idea I've ever heard, and it astounds me I still hear people supporting it. Imagine urban sprawls like L.A., where massive traffic jams are normal. People go into their cars, go to the gas station/charging station, go where they need to, and come back. Now imagine the massive traffic monstrosities when a shitload more cars are on the road because they're either going from the nearest charging station to their passenger, or coming back to the charging station after droppinb off their passenger so they can get back on the road to pick them up again two hours later and go back to the charging station A after the passenger is dropped off again. A three-leg journey has turned into a six-leg lone and the distance from the passenger's house to the damn grocery store hasn't changed to reflect the doubled time on the road.

Optoelectronics have been having a very fruitful past few years with new inventions and electronics getting small enough to be useful for the eyes. Like there's an electronic contact lens that can restore vision to blind people.

How is this a breakthrough? It changes absolutely nothing, especially since most of the grid is still powered by fossil fuels. Best case scenario it just maintains the status quo.

Look up solid state batteries

Augmented Reality (AR)

three holes of truth.

Three zeroes, one for each hole of robotic progress

The next big thing will be advertising on the internet being replaced by website owners running crypto currency mining scripts on peoples machines when they visit a site. This will change the web. Probably for the worse. Pirate Bay is already doing it.

Normies love it and now the CIA can spy on your thoughts.

The distributed web and after that we meshnet.

nuclear shelters

A list of requirements a good battery should fulfill is almost exactly the same as a list of requirements for a good bomb, minus the safety (arguable, because a bomb has to be stable too).
It might be a challenge to manufacture something with a really high energy density and charge/discharge capabilities that could be handled safely to people.
But yes, that would revolutionize the world.

Oh sweet summer child.

Awesome batteries will end gasoline, diesel, coal, natural gas, and all power plants. No reason to have an expensive electric grid anymore either. Let us keep going. Solar would dominate everything. Things that aren't viable before happen. Electric airlines, no more jet fuel needed.

mini satellites will make it cheaper to launch and be better for satellite coverage because there will be more satellites in orbit. indoor farming will decrease diseases decrease water usage decrease the space farms use to grow crops and decrease crop prices.

>because there will be more satellites in orbit.
And more collisions, and more debris, and more collisions, and then Planetes.

Sure. The main reason why chemical fuels are so ubiquitous is because they are the only energy source that is mobile, that has high energy density and that has high discharge capabilities at the same time. Unfortunately it's not rechargeable and has side effects on the environment.
Generally speaking, the biggest problem with energy today is not it's production, but it's storage. If we had just a tiny bit better storage capabilities green energy would actually be a feasible alternative to fossil fuels.

>and more collisions
On higher orbits? I doubt it.

Fuck off gayfag

Self-driving cars/trucks will be the biggest economic disruption since the advent of the internet.

>gayfag

Yes more collisions if not correctly placed in orbit, and sort of a mess if not deployed correctly, like robot wars in space maybe.

VR sex with USB controlled sex bots that react based on your motions. It will prevent unwanted children from being born which means planned children will be smart and raised in a stable family thus paving the way for brighter minds like never before. Which is, after all, the source of innovation.

>see nvidya as an example of what tech cunts do when they get smacked for fucking over their customers
and their customer base just keeps on buying. They are a business, as long as people put up with their shit they'll keep doing it.

Someone has been reading Kuhn I see...

using cubes of trash as money

Decentralized services that rival Google based off fast blockchain transaction.

Gen 4 pebble bed nuclear reactor.
Meltdown proof if if the material is removed while hot acting.

Cheap brain machine interface, machine identifies general brain patterns and you can manipulate your computer that way.

Oh besides that voice programming, just like compilers today do better in majority of cases translating your abstract pages of codes into very efficient machine code ( altough I give you that, some autistic passionate person with years on top of years of free time would manage to do maybe a little better job ) but we got it really fast now, you write code in short amount of time and compile it into efficient machine code.

Imagine using your voice with a simple syntax, all you would have to do is think logically and program anything with your voice, while on your screen you would visually see all the elements of your program and how they correlate in order to think the big picture, people argue that for that we need at least one or two decades of a lot of machine learning and then that product would be enough, others say we need general machine intelligence.. it's literally a breakthrough that's about to happen who knows how.
