I found this fairly disappointing.
> A.I. Health Care
Actually near to affecting real customers. For some narrow tasks (e.g. melanoma detection) we can start to get the cost down to ~the cost of harvesting the tissue. More and more of these tasks could start to become cheaper and start taking more of the guess work out of Health care.
> Conversational Computing
Other than usable phone trees I haven't seen success here. Lots of work was poured into this last year and very little really lasted.
> Mind Control
The non invasive stuff just isn't that interesting and the invasive stuff is so far away from even the horror stories of early adopters.
> The Flying Car
If there isn't wide adoption then this is just a toy for the rich, maybe it could improve some emergent care situations if it's more usable than helicopters for hospitals. If there is wide adoption it's a public safety nightmare. Living with cars that are stuck to the ground is dangerous enough.
> The Quantum Computer
There are many extremely hard problems between now and quantum computers affecting people's lives beyond breaking RSA. Quantum computers aren't a panacea, they aren't better at every problem, they won't recreate the amazing doubling of power per cost that existed for most of computing history.
- DubiousPusher 9y agoYeah, this is a pretty superficial grabbed from the headlines understanding of technology. For God's sake how can you leave off gene therapy. For three decades the hopes and dreams of nearly every person affected by an incurable disease have lingered on gene therapy. Now we're finally there. This year the first two treatments have been approved by the FDA with more in stage III trials and it doesn't even get a mention? Also, once you can watch TV while your car drives you, no one is going to care about the time savings of flying short distances. You'll probably be grateful that in the event of a rare crash you won't have the added 9.8 m/s/s of acceleration to worry about.
- XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y agoYeah If I was making the list it'd include CRISPR, GMO foods, autonomous vehicles and VR/AR (especially for mobility challenged people, if I were hospital bound I'd be clamoring for it)
