What will technology be like in 150 years?

[throwedindagame]

Read the "The Singularity is Near" by Raymond Kurzweil

One thing we can predict with certainty is that computers will surpass human beings in natural* intelligence. I don't mean number crunching, clearly allcomputers today are superior to humans in that regard. I mean computers will be able to think for themselves and furthermore exceed our own ability to thinkfor ourselves.

*(I'm not a fan of the term artificial intelligence)

Eventually one computer will have more natural intelligence then all of humanity..........combined.

There will be a point where computers are actually inventing new technology independent of human programmers and guidance software. Whats the point of 5thgraders shooting the ball when they have Kobe on their team?

I'll post more depending on the level of discussion and how serious you guys are. This is a topic that fascinated me for a while.

It's hard to comprehend the future even for the most brilliant minds today. Try explaining the Saturn V rocket (moon rocket) to the Wright Brothers andthen telling them we'd be on the moon in 1969.

At the rate were going, we will be ridiculously advanced in 150 years. Space travel will probably be as common as air travel and we will be in communicationwith foreign life.

Damn imagine how skinny skinny jeans will be then.
Women will run around with clubs knocking dudes out
Women will be proposing to men to marry them
Everyone will be be able to impregnate themselves

either way i'm stoked to see some dope @$@ technology come around

I wouldn't exactly call humans from 150 years ago primitive. There were steam engines, iron hulled ships, railroads, the entire Industrialrevolution.

Because you know how to use a computer and a cell phone doesn't make you more advanced, it just means you learned how to use it. You are a product of yourenvironment, as were people in the 19th century.

Although I don't know you, and I don't want to jump to conclusions, I would wager that you don't truly know how the things you take for grantedactually work, you simply know how to use them. You speak as if people from the 19th century were of lesser intellect than you, just because you live in anage where technology dominates our daily lives.

In 15 years technology will probably be pretty crazy. I can't imagine 150 years from now.
