So, please give me your predictions for 2045 – particularly with regard to the following topics:
- AI, automation, and robotics, and how these will affect everyday life/society
- Brain-computer interfaces (and other implantable devices), and how these might shift from medical to consumer uses
– Supercomputing (likely somewhere between zettascale and yottascale?) and its potential applications by then
- General consumer tech, gadgets, VR, home computing, Internet, etc.
Any other predictions are welcome, but those are the main areas I want to focus on.
Basically, I want to describe a world and society that is clearly approaching a Singularity-type transition - but which isn't quite there yet (Ray Kurzweil tends to overestimate by a decade or so). I'll try to incorporate some of the best ideas that are posted here.
Any links/references you can find will be particularly helpful.
Thanks!
