Thread: What will our technology be like in a million years?

I agree with the previous poster that some things will always be impossible. We already have several critical impossibility results in math (e.g. no amount of technology will allow us to sort a list of n elements in fewer than n*log(n) steps), and our physical models containing impossibility results (FTL in relativity, uncertainty in quantum mechanics) are held up by more experiments every year. The sad thing is that we accumulate more of these impossibility results as technology progresses. So perhaps the distant future is one in which we have given up on technology long ago because we know what is impossible and we have accomplished everythIng else.

I'm hoping for massive strides in robotic technology. I'm hoping that sexy android women can be created so I can have sex 7 days a week with a hot sexy woman (who cares if she is a robot) and then I can press a button and switch her off and not have to listen to any bitching and moaning about my socks being on the floor!

I care. There is no substitute for the real thing.

I hope in a million years if we are still alive there will be, lmao, but not that way.

In a million years i assume there will be no humans alive as we would have long ago killed each other.

If not, I assume that we will no longer be held down by addictiveness or greed.
I think we would have a controlled population so sex would no longer be a activity that we do to have "fun".
And if all goes well everyone would be equal.

but I really think we will kill our self's long before then.

No one from our time has the ability to predict what our technology will be like in a million years. We couldn't predict the year 2012 from 1912 so there is no chance of predicting year 1002012 from 2012.

It all depends on how our 'leaders' run our world.
By the rate were going, we wont make it that far.

I'd be shocked if we made it a million years.
