Wow, I remember my old DOS 486 computer. The best thing about it was Warcraft. (That's Warcraft ONE...) And SimCity. So much fun. Now look what we have. Warcraft is actually something I really don't understand.kdstrack wrote: ↑22 Aug 2018, 16:26 Forty years is a blink of the eye for technology. Remember the first desktop computer? Now we wear our computer on our wrist! We have conversations with our computers. (Alexa, find...). We also have self-driving vehicles, and soon this technology will be applied to planes. The army supposedly has been working on the invisibility shield for planes. So, it seems like a great deal of the technology is already here or being worked on. The danger lies in who is controlling the technology. Will the internet always be free? Will government mandate self-driving cars and them control their use? I do not see danger in the technology, but in who manages to gain control over their use? Who knows how far these things will have advanced in 40 years? We are already using most of them.
I don't think the internet will always be free. I also don't think that space will be for everyone. That is unchartered real estate. Loads of $$$ there.
It's actually kind of sad...
