Life in 2031; and possibly future decades...

The gun that won that old Wild West

What do you guys think gaming, music, movies, cars, and just general technology and life will be like two decades from now? I'm 14 now and in 2031, if I'm still alive of course, I'll be 34. It'll be hard to imagine me being that old, and my dad will be 57 years old.... Wow.... This is one of the times where it's good to say I'm just a kid, some of you "grown-ups" will be pushing on being senior citizens.

And just wow, 2031 sounds really futuristic doesn't it?

And just to push it even further, just imagine what 2081 will be like. I'll probably be about dead by then from old age, if I don't die from anything before that.

I kind of imagine it really dark, polluted, and very urban. Really stream-lined cars too. And speaking of cars, are flying vehicles even a possibility? I know it's very cliche and kind of silly of me to mention it but it's hard to have a topic about the future and not mention flying vehicles.

They have sucessfully been able to manufacture real flying cars for several years now, however they are far from fuel efficient and as such are completely impractical for domestic use.

Hmm, to be honest I think it's almost impossible to correctly guess what it will be like in 20 years time. Do you think people in the 80's could have forseen the rise of the gaming industry, the advancements and reduction in size of computers or the internet? Maybe some. But there are always events and inventions that just can't be predicted.

Have you heard of that theory that technology will keep advancing at a faster and faster rate? Well if is this theory is true which I believe it is then even the next ten years will be nearly impossible to predict let alone the next twenty. As for 2081. Well that would be like asking somebody from the first world war era to try and guess how people would keep themselves entertained in our time. Can't be done. We're advancing too fast.

Almost exponentially now. Still quite linear on the small scale.

What do the red dots represent?

It will begin to slow soon. By 2020 computers will have reached their limits of speed I've read, and computers are what we use now to measure tech speed.
Not to say we wont advance, but people who think that by 2045 we wont recognize ourselves are wishful thinkers.

I disagree. Maybe conventional computers might. But you must have heard of these new quantum computers? With the kind of power and speeds they're predicting, technology can only advance even more quickly.

Major break through in technology. Not certain what each one represents individually.

Here's another exponential graph:

MP's are getting better in design. Intel has just released data on their new 3d architecture package. It stacks processing power and is supposed to greatly improve speed and parallelism.

From a standpoint of someone close to studying in that industry, this improvement is amazing.

Quantum computers are what I am talking about.
And technological singularity in the futuristic sense wont happen. It has happened before, like in the inductrial revolution, but creating a robot that creates another smarter one, that creates a smarter one, and so on and so forth until we are millionsX smarter than we are now cannot happen. Computers and AI are basically big calculators, until we find out how to make them look at anything other than numbers, they wont have true free will or super intelligence. And if Technological singularity was possible, it would have happened by now to another species somewhere out there in the universe, and we would have been engulfed by its power by now.

You know, your brain works on a similar level to binary digits. The activation of a single cell requires a 1 or 0 input from a micro volt input.
It's the cellular part we need to work out in order to achieve faster computers. Not the electrical part. I suspect we will get there in my lifetime.
Probably not by 31' though.

This is true, but I have heard that are distinct difference. Although I had forgotten them to be honest. Technological singularity used to be a large fear of mine, and then i did research, and found it wasnt possible (from what I found at least), and then I forgot why and just remembered the results. I should research it again.

well, one big change is that by 2020, they believe they will be able to increase the average human lifespan by one year every year until we hit our biological limit. and of course they are already researching how to extend that biological limit. wouldn't be surprised if the kids and young adults today live to see 200.
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god

I think by 2031, the world will be ended by a huge technology crash.

I'm not going to guess it being as futuristic as say back to the future showed it. But it'll be a lot different then now. Flying Cars have been existence for quite sometime but aren't operational yet. I remember a few years back watching a discovery channel documentary about how life would be in the year 2050. To my surprise a lot of things would have happen to make our lives quite a lot easier then I had thought. I always saw 2080 has the end of the world but that's due to personal experience and having thought up a year through enough research.
