Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
- (Mark Twain and me)
In the last 20 years ,we have been lucky to see some scientific developments like invention of personal computer, mobile phone and ofcourse internet. However, offlate, there has not been much development in the science or technology front. Ofcoure everyday gazillion gadgets come out, but none of them are breakthroughs like the invention of a personal computer or car. Fields other than technology, whatelse have happened in the last decade? Hmmmm ... ??? I think only intrusion of technology in other fields is the revolution in other fields?
Definitely the growth rate is decreasing(does it mean we are reaching saturation)
What else could be the coming breakthroughs?
My guess:
-personal robots for doing chores like laundry,dish washing.
-better, robots with emotions.have an irritating spouse? no problem.
-flying cars or personal aircrafts
-no traffic lights or even auto car drive.
-free telephone calls worldwide.
-internet at speed of local machine
-video conferencing to the core and useful for daily lives. as useful,simple and common as email.
-literally no queues or waiting anywhere with improvisation in automated systems and traffic.
Even if atleast 2 of those didnt happen in the next 50years, I think we have reached saturation or could be that we would have died of global warming. Thank you for raping the planet.
