    • Hover technology. Actually, it doesn't seem that complicated really. Just use the concept of two magnets that repel each other for the concept. Like, is that even remotely possible or am I spewing nonsense?

            • I hope that by about 2050 we'll have common space travel. Spend a week on the moon at some resort. Mining of near earth objects for profit. By 2100 I expect us to at least be able to go through our solar system without a problem. Visiting the moons of saturn, colony on Mars, maybe on Venus if we get some terraforming abilities. If overpopulation becomes a big problem we might see the advent of orbital colonies around the earth.

                With the rate at which computer components are scaling down in size and scaling up in power, I'd imagine that we'll have reached another turning point in computer engineering — something similar to the tyranny of numbers back in the 60's. We'll have quantum computers that literally cannot be made any smaller. Instead of focusing a great deal of effort into developing something that uses smaller components (if that's even possible), I imagine we'll see a major shift to cloud computing and storage. Everyone will have access to computing devices (which will likely be found all over the place, in virtually everything), but all of the major processing will be performed by remote super-computers. At this point, most people should have access to relatively fast, wireless internet access, and a great deal of heavy processing will be streamed with virtually no lag. Computing power will have advanced so far that I couldn't even begin to predict what it would be capable of, but everyone would have access to it. Super-realistic, real-time 3D rendering and physics simulations would be trivial. By the end of the century, I wouldn't be surprised if we had successfully emulated human intelligence.

                • I want to say something but I don't want to get flamed for it so I won't. I will say this though, it's a much more controversial topic than drug legalization.

                • Mecha, development of major space travel. Also peace between every human race and culture for the first time in human history. Just some small thing I though about.

                  • Robots that I can have a conversation with. But can still destroy by saying something like, "This sentence is false" Then they all explode and shit, that would be cool.
