It takes technology to create and discover more technology. With all those new discoveries and inventions, it’ll allow us to only discover and create more.

fast foods, foods that are unhealthy, and soda.

i hope the future laughs at that and makes better/healthier choices.

also i am sure the style of the cars/trucks would be looked at alot different.

agreed, with the minimum mpg required for car lots they are going to start looking worse and worse as they become more aerodynamic and fuel efficient

Staying automotive related, I think keys will be a thing of the past, it’s coming to that now, you carry a key fob and the car senses when your near and unlocks and then it’s a push to start button and I assume it will be once you leave the car it will lock but I think they will make a credit card version of a key fob ( I think Mercedes did this once ) but it will become more common practice.

what about our guns and ammo choices? they used to use a 30-30 lever. the progression of guns and ammo is technology it gets better and better each day. also the old tech gets older and older

the future will laugh at the fact we shoot a .223 maybe even laugh at a 22 250. who knows what the future brings but guessing sure is fun

edit\* also consider copper wires for transmitting info. the fiber optic wires out today are so much fatser. what if the sensors in your car could get the info quicker or more precise?

future might even have chips emplanted in everyone or special recognition technology so when you approach the car it knows your coming. you can never loose your genetic makeup.

if you have the chance to talk with any automotive engineers pick their brain. there is so much being thought of today your mind would be blown away. they try to incorporate the best tech every day.

maybe in future some kid or old man can think of something never before seen then apply it and we would not be able to think of it right now? who knows keep guessing tho

I don’t think guns are going anywhere in a hurry, some call it a mature technology. The military essentially issues the same stuff they had 40 years ago and don’t really have any serious plans for anything new. The changes will probably be minor unless there is some sort of major breakthrough in small arms technology.

In a few decades people might be looking back at us and thinking we were crazy to be allowed to operate 4000 pound missles at legal speeds of upto 85 mph, starting at the age of 16 (or 17) after a very basic test.

Not to mention most people text, eat, drink and barely pay attention to what they are doing while in control.

Google car to the rescue!
