As a city planner/RE developer turned software developer, I am dismayed by how little attention is paid to basic innovations that would have great impact and, yet, are never or barely mentioned in these future-tomorrow vids. I won't dive into a major diatribe, but consider this one technology that has seen trivial improvements over a period of 100-plus years - the home.
I will pick on one thing: plumbing. Without being tethered to a wastewater system, we could seriously challenge development patterns and housing/urban design. I am all for what's to come in, say, bioengineering mitochondria to end aging but damn if it wouldn't be cool to recycle toilet water in a closed system and use your own feces for your lawn (planters if you live in an urban area) -- TODAY!
