There will be robots and they will do our bidding. Also im gona have me a teleporter.

i thought this was a futureguy thread for a second. brb i am going to take a shit and answer that

Sex robots will automatically adjust to your needs
Also Japan's Gundam? it works now and we are fucked

Hopefully we'll be able to go into space whenever we want, shit would be SO cash.

Apple will unveil a computer with a touch screen.

dont think things will change much. the main thing will be that everything is gona be digital and voice controlled. all houses will have a pc running air conditionning lights even the temp of the fridge. its possible now but its just gona get more widespread and cheep to make. theres not gona be too much outstanding new stuff except maby faster computers.

That depends who is in charge.

If it's still white people, we'll live in a technological utopia.

If it's Asians or Indians, we'll live in a savage slumworld where technological innovation is a distant memory and freedom is nonexistent.

Cityscapes like this make me sad. Ugly, soulless buildings. Nothing recognisable. The architecture I enjoy has either been levelled due to rot or developers.

we will all be dead from WWIII

Fuck flying cars, I just want cars that drive themselves. Think of all the free time. Also, no more drunk driving.

Enjoy life as much as you can now, there isn't much of a "future" left.

sex robots or virtual reality. the possability is the only thing keeping me alive.

here. took a nice dump. feels good man..anyway.

Nanofabrication will change the world more than you possibly imagine. capitalism will change radically if it manages to adapt. Currently barely 1/4 of the world uses the internet. the widespread use of the internet in third world countries will also have a huge impact on everything around us.

>>7340280

This. When man can finally virtually live out his ultimate sexual fantasy, women will have the world handed to them

Are you a tea bagger by chance?

I can't wait to pirate physical objects.

You guys underestimate what can happen in 60 years. The Internet as we know it is only 20 years old. Many of us were playing games with only 16 colors and now we're playing Mass Effect 2. The change that'll happen in 60 years is huge!

>>7340319
yeah theyll get all the jobs taking care of us while we are virtually fucking things all day! :D

>>7340319
Women will become useless and people will stop fighting and starting wars over them. Men will still rule. women will compete for 2nd place against love bots

the music of Lady Gaga will be eternal

>>7340356

Only if we make an artificial womb which is like 100 years off at least.

The world will look something like this.

>>7340382

The way things are going, this is probably the most accurate.

This is here because great robot god says i must create original comments

Someone will push a button somewhere.

>>7340431
I wonder if it's actually a button, or a switch, or voice command.

Screw all this. In at most 20 years we will have cheap access to hardware powerful enough to emulate human brain activity. I bet in 40/50 years many people will be completely digital with representations of our world with artificial physics models emulating normal physics. There is little hope for us to be part of that, though. You probably could only be born into computers...not transferred into one. Its depressing... you can just imagine all the possibilities of having a world you can control at will.

>europe without hate

WE HATE MUSLIMS N MURIKUNTS

>>7340054
In 60 years? It's damn near impossible to tell. We could have some some sort of miraculous breakthrough technologically that means we all live in a Jetsons style techno-utopia. We could have no significant advancement whatsoever and be living in a world not tremendously unlike the one of today. We could have one or more of a number of potential catastrophic events that leave us all eating shit to survive. You could even have a combination of some things there, with some areas/populations left in the dust and others continuing normally or living in their utopian bubble.

In short, who the fuck knows?

Singularity. That is all.

I do.

bloxblox

60 years? White people disappear in a tidal wave of brown/yellow masses. Infrastructure crumbles, economy vanishes and world is back to grazing animals and subsistence farming like in the beginning.

>>7340565
>Infrastructure

DAT INFRASTRUCTURE

your daughter will kiss you on the way out on her way to participate in the televised internet gangbang. you'll give her a hug and tell her to not forget the dehydrated insta-lunch of couscous and salami you prepared for her.

Christians will have finally gotten fed up with technology being used to play God and people trying to spread acceptance of other faiths.

Influential Christians will have taken arms all around the world to take atheists, agnostics, and all non-Christians out of influential positions and to close down Universities and other institutions of science.

Technology will roll back slightly, but the world will once again be ruled by good God fearing Christians, all drugs will be illegal, unpure music and movies will be censored, and premarital sex will be unheard of.

Praise Jesus!

>>7340521
I believe you singluarians are mistaken. I believe this mistake is that you put too much emphasis on intellect and not enough on the creative nuance of the human mind.

I don't believe smarter than human machines will be that great an advancement, in fact, it's more likely that the benefit will be almost purely mathematical.

Woo hoo, we can all live in a society with perfect math!

People will be sitting on their computers talking about how in 60 years humanity will have reached the point of singularity, will have flying cars, and entire meals will come in pill form

in 60 years soaring energy costs has severely restricted the growth of technology and transportation. the increased cost of transportation means food is more expensive in cities so urban populations, especially in western countries, start to decline. more and more shipping is done by rail and ship as trucks become too expensive. even the conservatives agree we have to find new energy sources, although they think nuclear is the best option because fuck nature. emerging economies have their growth stunted by energy costs, and any country that isn't "developed" by this time never will be.

shit like that.

>>7340692

naa we have enough coal for 4,000 years at the current exponential rate increase. hydrogen or battery cars will take over once it becomes on par with gasoline things won't change like that.

>>7340610

You're missing the point. Think of all of the queries that are answered by Google everyday. When an AI can parse, and comprehend these...

>>7340054

>realize thats the architectural desing for Khartoum, Sudan, shit bricks

>realize that egg shaped building in the background already exists in Khartoum, shit bricks

We'll all be about 80 years old standing in shock of the lack of 'morality' in society and remember the 'good ole days.' Half of us will be dead and the other half will be Dale Gribbles.

On that thought, I'm curious to see if life extension will ever get the funding it deserves and becomes implemented in society. That could change everything.

Hopefully some goddamn population control in 3rd world countries
also, no redheads

>>7341146
>also, no redheads
glad i could be a part of this
blondes are next.

>>7341146
>>7341152
>also, no redheads
The fuck is wrong with you two?
Decent looking redheads make me pop like 60 boners

>>7341281
same here, thus my preference for them as mates

it's a shame the gene isn't a dominant one that only shows up in females. that'd be ideal.

>>7340141
>If it's Asians or Indians
>forgetting to mention Australia

>>7341287
I think them being the minority is the reason we find them hot, but agreed anyway.

>>7341281

anything make you pop 20 boners?

>>7341314
green eyes make me pop 30?
Redhead + green eyes = 112 boners

maybe America will finally have decent public transportation and health care

but probably not

nerds will be the people that go out in public and normalfags will be the people that sit on 4chan all day

>>7341281
no no no, I'm just saying there won't be any becausethey're recessive. Not saying I don't want them to be there, because I do because they're wonderful :')

>>7341333
>nerds will be the people that go out in public and normalfags will be the people that sit on 4chan all day

oh my god this seriously could happen

>>7340886

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

aw hell nawww.
africa is a massive cargo cult they don't have the level of...sophistication to maintain that high tech future society. tribal warefare fueled and sponsored by 1st world corporations continue to devestate the continent.

when global warming goes into full effect. they droughts will kill most of them the rest will fight over the few remaining resources that they haven't shipped to Europe.

I'm pretty pessimistic, my guesses:

-The US will steadily fall under authoritarian control. The new aristocracy will be the elites of the corporate and government world.
-The internet and media will be heavily regulated by all countries, as well as corporations thank to the demise of net neutrality.
-China will start aggressively expanding into its neighbours, most likely Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, though perhaps also parts of India. The US, heavily indebted and reliant on Chinese manufacturers will wimp out.
-Russia will probably reconquer the old territories of the USSR. The EU will broker a peace treaty to that effect, and NATO will disband rather than risk confrontation.
-Ecosystem collapse will probably start to happen in 50 or so years, as fish populations die off and carbon accumulates. Mass starvation worldwide.
-Africa will still be a shithole.

God, what a shitty movie.

>>7341336
60 years is only 2 generations bro. There's about 45 million redheads. I doubt they'll be gone.

>>7341406

It's completely unrealistic, I agree. There's no way those people would have anything resembling a national government, or even a corporate economy. Long before that level of stupidity is reached you'd have a complete collapse of the societal elements that are pushing it that way. I just needed a graphic, and that movie was pretty pessimistic.

>>7341392

China will never attempt to expand (with regard to territory) beyond what it considers to historically belong to it. (Present borders inlcuding Tibet, plus Taiwan, perhaps Mongolia, and whatever territories it has disputed with India and other neighbors). It has historically considered cultures and regions outside of this sphere to be inferior and/or decadent.

Oh, also, part of North Vietnam.

-Israel won't exist
-Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and UAE will revert to 600 AD-status after oil dries up.
-Iran is a manufacturing and energy superpower and has absorbed afghanistan, iraq, pakistan, and the kurdish regions of turkey
-America and PRC are on equal footing, economic inter-dependence takes the place of Mutually Assured Destruction

>>7341380
>Africa is a massive cargo cult

Do you even know what phrase means, mate.

>>7341505

I don't necessarily mean just territory, but considering a culture inferior was never a reason to avoid expansion, as the Soviet Union so violently demonstrated. Anyway, expansion can be done by coercion as well as force. China will yield enough economic pressure to get basically anything out of anyone. Vassal states would be perfectly acceptable, providing 'buffer' security and necessary resources.

It's already happening to a degree in parts of Africa, where the Chinese are investing heavily in regimes marked untouchable by the west. And rhetoric from the state towards Taiwan hasn't changed in the last two decades.

It will be February first and nothing will have changed except for minor things(technology wise) and some countries will have been burned to hell and all.

>>7341428
I think you missed teh point of the movie but ok.
