I've often seen posts centered around what people believe will realistically come to fruition in the next ten, twenty or fifty years, with many people giving very interesting answers to read and ponder over. So, I figured to make a similar post, but instead flip it around and ask what you hope you will see in your lifetime. Even if by here and now standards it may be a little far-fetched, what do you want to see become reality before you die?
For me, in my mid-thirties currently, there are a few things I hope and pray I live to see become real. The first and biggest is life extension and physical age reversal, simply because there is way too much I want to do, want to accomplish in a single, natural lifetime, and just 70-100 years honestly isn't enough for me. So, I truly hope I'll live to see LEV.
Another is space travel. By this I mean us not just going back to the moon, but forward on to other planets. I'd love to see us reach planets and moons such as Mars and Europa. Heck, if they got to the point you could take vacations there, I'd want to go see Mars for myself!
A third is mass produced synthetic fuel, able to power internal combustion engines without any of the harmful pollutants gasoline has. I love my engines, love old cars like 1950s Cadillacs, and an alternative to forcing everyone into just electric cars and a means to keep using older cars, even if the fuel is a bit more expensive, is a big hope of mine.
And fourth and final, honestly, is I hope to see A.I. androids. By which I mean the ones that are almost indistinguishable from normal human beings. Some people have been creeped out by the idea of robots that look exactly like us, but I've always personally found the idea fascinating. And for some people, I know they'd probably prefer an A.I. companion over another person.
But those are my top four things I hope to live to see in my lifetime. What about you?
What do you hope to see?
A cure for schizophrenia and low functioning autism would be great.
