Re: OT: Miracles You’ll See In The Next Fifty Years (Feb, 1950)
Mon, February 12, 2007 - 8:12 AMheard this one on the radio, always amuses me how we as a society try to predict the future and come up being totally wrong.

Re: OT: Miracles You’ll See In The Next Fifty Years (Feb, 1950)
Mon, February 12, 2007 - 11:52 AMI'd say that they were about 50/50 with their predictions if you take some license. Microwave, fax machine, frozen foods (I'd like a frozen brick of 2% milk please!), substitute "computer" for "television" and they got the whole webcam videoconferencing thing down. Discovery (I think on the Science Channel) has been running a series about what life will be like in 2057- wonder how well they've gotten it.
All I know of the future is that in the 24th century we'll all be wearing ultra flowy soft pajamas everywhere. -

Mon, February 12, 2007 - 2:43 PMI'm totally with the pajamas!
pajamas rock.
I am curious to see what the predictions end up panning out as.

Mon, February 12, 2007 - 10:25 PMI tapped the 2057 shows, but my boy and I have only watched part of the first one so far. I think the fabric with the built-in medical monitoring is a wonderful innovation. And the research on the 'printable' replacement organs is both facinating and exciting - hope this one definitely pans out in the next couple of decades.
We're looking forward to seeing what the rest of teh series has to offer. -

Wed, February 14, 2007 - 9:15 AMActually, they can regrow an organ or a body part with stem cells now. So save yours up. And they have suits that can hit all your "happy buttons" - the bastardized version of a medical diagnostic suit. It's funny how all the latest technology goes into medicine and porn.

Re: OT: Miracles You’ll See In The Next Fifty Years (Feb, 1950)
Wed, February 14, 2007 - 1:23 PMFlying cars? We got them but don't use them. Not flying cars, really, but the personal "helicopter" which is actually an autogyro, like "Little Nellie" in the James Bond films. They do work and aren't expensive to build and operate, and they're safer than ultralights (which we also now have) because if the lose power they land softly due to the action of the rotor, which works like a maple seed does. I've also heard of one model that was produced of a flying car- car body with a wing on top. I think I saw that on some History Channel show. And there was the boat/car. I've seen one of those drive up to the lake and into the water, so I know those were real. -

Wed, February 14, 2007 - 3:57 PMI watched a Discovery channel special about a guy who developed a kick ass flying car. He stated the biggest problem other than the price tag was that the FAA didn't know how to handle it. Think if we were all in flying cars, the air traffic would be emense!
