Technology Expectations

I have always hoped for the best but expected the worst...  some say that is not a very positive attitude...  but, I say that I am never disappointed which always provides me with a positive outlook.

Technology throws a monkey wrench into that philosophy just by it being technology.

I doubt that new technology will be developed over the next few years, but the technology that we already have will advance beyond our wildest expectations.

Electric Vehicles will still be advanced but not as quickly as a majority of globe does not want to give up their dependence on gasoline or petroleum crude oil and all of its byproducts.

Hydrogen Vehicles we be perfected and will directly compete with EVs when it is discovered how to make an inexpensive fuel cell.

However, EVs will also experience bigger batteries and faster charging times.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a huge monkey wrench because of its potential applications and implications.  AI alone will revolutionize the medical industry in all aspects including research.

AI/Robots will turn the world UPSIDE DOWN with their possibilities as researchers get closer and closer to developing chips that mimic human thought processes, actions, and reactions.

The potential for AI/Robots is literally astronomical in its implications and potential.  For example:

• AI/Robot surgeons
• AI/Robot airplane pilots
• AI/Robot workers
• AI/Robot autonomous vehicles
• AI/Robot militaries (armies, etc.)
• AI/Robot space crews to build colonies on planets
• AI/Robot teachers
• AI/Robot law enforcement officers
• AI/Robot security guards

There will be advancements in Virtual Reality (VR) incorporating Augmented Reality (AR).

More of the world (as each year passes) will be able to connect to the internet.

Technology will create more and more billionaires while destroying the middle class and creating a new global middle class with less financial ability but on the whole more than they had before.

Probably one of the biggest advancements outside of AI will be the harnessing and use of nuclear fusion as a renewable source of energy.

Cancers and other deadly diseases will be eliminated.

Technologies will replace the need for wars as AI/Robot armies will give every country the advantage of mutually assured destruction.
