[quote]Dr. Ray Kurzweil, inventor, pioneering computer scientist, and director of engineering at Google:
"By 2025, 3D printers will print clothing at very low cost. There will be many free open source designs, but people will still spend money to download clothing files from the latest hot designer just as people spend money today for eBooks, music and movies despite all of the free material available. 3D printers will print human organs using modified stem cells with the patient's own DNA providing an inexhaustible supply of organs and no rejection issues. We will be also able to repair damaged organs with reprogrammed stem cells, for example a heart damaged from a heart attack. 3D printers will print inexpensive modules to snap together a house or an office building, lego style.

I think that is one of the coolest things that could happen in the next decade or two.
However, [quote]The next generation Bitcoin will replace traditional hard money, creating a new paradigm for digital commerce and business that will create a legitimate new economy." [/quote]
That doesn't seem as sound. Unless mathematicians can create encryption methods much more secure than current ones, I think the possibility of people hacking systems and stealing millions or billions of electronic dollars can never be ruled out.

Lasers, not harming kind, just lasers that push things. It can happen. Trust me

Edited by WickedNavajo: 5/14/2015 4:59:13 PMYou mean lasers, as in the kind made out of light? I'm pretty certain using light to push things would take mountains of energy if it's possible. How would that work? Because that really does sound interesting.

Were telling about humans. We made things fly. We have already even made an invisibility cloak. Look it up.

I know invisibility isn't impossible (for example, read [url=http://phys.org/news/2015-04-hogwarts-required-invisibility-cloaks-real-life.html]here[/url]), but It will still take many, many years before a fully functioning invisibility cloak. But light has no mass and doesn't interact with objects very powerfully. I don't know how it could be made to push things that weighed more than maybe a few ounces at the most. Have there been any articles about it?

Nope, but they are getting closer. I think some people said they could actually feel light hitting them, but it was barely anything. All I know is that it looks complex, but it's probably simple.
