Is their any chance of some cool inventions in the future?

Moores law suggests that there will be many leaps in technology over the years.

 

You should watch.Ted talks

 

They're getting closer to growing organs and have dual ventricle devices now where you don't even need a heart

 

Agreed. If you want to see some cool stuff, you should check out TED.

 

I like Kurzweil's predictions http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_made_by_Ray_Kurzweil

 

Nanotechnology, advancements in carbon nanotubes (strongest material ever created), longer life-spans, gene manipulation.

Though, I think you're overlooking how amazing technology is today. It is advancing quite fast and you already have plenty to look forward to. I mean, you can buy a Terra-byte hard drive for relatively low price these days. The cost of memory will keep decreasing until we will virtually be able to have unlimited space. Our cell phones are robots in themselves (Siri). You can download emulators for gameboys you used to own as a child. Be happy with what we have, it is quite amazing!

 

electric flying cars ?

 

Don't hold your breath. Flying cars won't exist anytime soon because ... there's no practical reason to make them when its cheaper and easier to stick to standard model.

I agree. Part if the reason some technology won't come around any time soon is because of.practicality.

Also money. There are no eclectric cars now because gas makes money. The electric car industry is kicking off a little but oil is money

actually they are already starting to come out
279k for this baby

Terrafugia Transition
Terrafugia - Transition^® the Roadable Light Sport Aircraft : The Vehicle

not electric though :/
I don't even wanna imagine what these owners are paying at the pump LOL

 

I remember this video. *sigh* If only.

 

That's exactly what I was going to say. If the presentations at TED don't wake our asses up to just what an exciting time it actually is to be alive, nothing will. Stop watching the goddamned news and political shit and watch how our heads change toward more positive aspects of our very real lives.

Damm I just read a tone on this guy. Lll

 

Virtual reality is going to get so fucking good.

Also, robots are going to become really really common in society.

A lot of service jobs, like doormen and police, will most likely become replaced by robots.

 

Well there is the 2045 initiative, even if their main goal doesn't work out (cybernetic immortality) their short term goal will be amazing (by 2017 they want to be able to mass produce avatar android bodies, that you can interface with directly via your brain. Like you would where a helmet or something, and be able to control a robotic android avatar just like it was your own body.)

 

Seriously. Wouldn't it have to use higher octane aircraft fuel as well? That stuff is super expensive.

 

They designed it so it can be driven and flown on regular gas, filled up at the pump like other cars

 

Yeah, I kinda figured but was too lazy to click on the link..... lol
