I dug this up from my 10th grade class from 10 years ago about the prediction of 10 years from now. Thought I'd share with you TAs on how AMAZING I was when I was 15 at predicting the future.
"10 years into the future
Unlike what some may think, I’m quite sure that technology won’t make a tremendous advance. I’ve noticed that people keep believing that ten years from now, there will be an extremely noticeable change. Each time, though, they are wrong. For example, when I would watch Quantum Leap, a show filmed in the 1980s, I was surprised to see what the show predicted as of 1995. I watched in astonishment how cars looked immensely high tech, TV-phone-computer were all hooked in one on a giant screen in an average home, and almost anything was voice operated. I suspect that people jump way to fast to conclusions of what there will be in the future. In the year 2008, there won’t be any cars floating above ground and there could be a TV- phone-computer hooked into one, but I highly doubt the average family will be able to afford it. There is one thing I do know, that I see developing today. The human’s dependence on high tech equipment, like computers, which will become an extreme devotion in the future. What will become of peoples habits of going on-line 24-7 ? There could be some sort of crisis in which every computer crashes. What will society turn to ? Could the start all over again from scratch and will they even rebuild computers. Or will they learn and build a higher technical devise that is unknown of today ?"
And all of that is so true today. I am better than nostraldumbass.
TAKE THAT BITCHES! :whip: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: |

Yeah are you driving a floating car? Electric car? No, and in most grocery stores there are still humans checking out your groceries saying "find everything alright gay gay gay?" Yeah harddrives will become more compact, but nothing looks futuristic at all like Quantum Leap predicted. |

| until quantum computing and carbon nano tube cpu structures become a reality we wont progress technologically very fast or very quickly. we are just shrinking an old design. nothing new about it. |

what about cloning, playing around with dna, and genetics?
there are advances, the general public isn't privvy to them that's all. |

well the advances arent so "astounding" is what hes saying. they arent breathtaking leaps of glory. they are just incremental steps that arent very far from where we were 10 years ago. |

If that bothers you? go watch the movie "Demolition Man" with Stallone and Snipes, supposedly by 1996, L.A. looks like a giant war zone of chaos and destruction. WTF is up with that ? thats a pretty bold prophecy by a movie to make a city look like world war 3 within 3 years of the movie's release.
P.S. ur gay...homo. |
