3 near term technology wishes

Daveluck · 19th August 2016, 13:25

Been thinking what I'm looking forward to in the near future ie things I'm really looking forward to and would like to see before I'm too old to appreciate them say in the next 20 - 25 years.

I've kept it to terrestrial things...would have loved to say free energy and colonisation of planets but I reckon we are talking centuries...and obviously ignored all the bad things GS it could lead to. Because, I mean, the futures bright - right?

My 3 near term wishes are

1. Free, fast and permanent web access everywhere for everyone
2. Autonomous reliable mass transit systems and personal travel
3. True cashless society

We are getting closer to all three

Anybody else got a list?

Edit....all this from a vista upgrade...

The banning of smart phones, so those so embroiled in them on the pavement don't nearly knock you down.
The banning of switch mode power supplies that interfere with everything.
The obsession with "Digital" our hearing is analogue as is our sight and every part of our body, Digital is ones and zeros so everything is chopped up, bring back analogue I say.

Oh well that's a load off my chest

All public transport and shopping areas to be WiFi and telephone signal free.

1MPH top limit on all mobility scooters and fitted with proximity sensor to warn all other people you are about to get ypur heels cut up.

I think kwil and Murphy are onto something...but we can't put the cat back into the bag.

Maybe a take the proximity alert of the mobile scooters and also apply it to people using smart phones?

Ken..Adamantium?

Automatic water sprayers on trains that detect people with their feet on the seats opposite and drench the inconsiderate low-lifes.
