    WTF?!
  • zeroroth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I doubt things will be that advanced within 50 Years. In the 1950s they were saying by 2007 we'd colonize the moon and have flying cars...
  • skase, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"Michio Kaku is a very smart man, and I like him, but I don't like his pro-big brother view of the future....especially with the cameras. He once said that those that don't want a new world order are the terrorists. What about individual freedoms and right to privacy?"
  • real2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Summary:
    Real-time/space holographics
    Cars that can drive themselves
    Wireless chips inside of everything (including clothing apparently)
    Robots capable of learning
    Facial recognition through street cameras
    More cameras than there are now

    And the big one: 50 year old virus' taking over the world
  • real2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is too much of a utopia with no virus protection...
  • real2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Most of these things will be possible by 2015 even. The only variable in question is availability as usual.

    Not everyone cares about having automatic driving, or a hologram flying around you.
  • MtnXfreerider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Also.. yeah maybe we can pull that stuff off in the future if the population levels off.. but come on.. by 2057 our population is supposed to be double what it is today!

  • Wonderkind, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Funny how some things that are predicted for the future don't take into account human tastes and practicality.
    In the 50's they said we'd be eating regular diets of things like Spam and Cheez-Whiz just because they seemed so incredibly convenient in the 40's.
    Disposable paper clothing - still costs too much and is too uncomfortable.
    Flying cars? We can't drive safely two dimensions, let alone three.
  • PR0NW4R, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1also http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=2057
