FPV Drone Racing - While automated flight is making great progress, there are some amazing pilots out there. Something about a person standing in a field with goggles and a controller feels so future to me. 3D Printing - This is going to be the main way to manufacture things in the future. The lab that is 3D printing houses with concrete. That makes me terrified for home values going forward. It will likely shift all the value into the land. The house will just become something you tear down and reprint every 10 years. CRISPR - s/shitty gene sequence/perfect gene sequence/g That's insane. It's like an anti-virus product for the body (irony intended). We're going to live a very long time and be practically disease free pretty soon. I'm planning on living until 150 (27 now). It's placing a big bet on medical science, but I feel like we're on the edge of some huge things.

  A mostly automated moving company will move all your stuff out while your spending time at a resort while you house 2.0 is being printed and will replace the items back in

The question "who wants to live forever (when love must die)" always puzzled me. I think that living "forever" will take away much of the beauty of a life worth living - as I know it.

As someone working in molecular biology I can't help but think you've been oversold CRISPR.
