The retard filter

I'm serious, that avatar is turning me on, can you find a way to turn that into virtual reality?
I am also both above and below the retard filter, allowing me to be in two states of existence like shrodingers cat which means i'm both alive and dead and therefore immortal. I must thank you, Hyack, for that post which has granted me immortality .

Long term space habitats. Considering the moon landing was in 1969.

It seems only the Space X program cares at all to do this.


a good renewable energy source and far far more advanced space exploration.
and both things could be well on their way to becoming a reality if the world wasnt the way it is now.
its such a shame how few people care about space exploration. its mandkinds next frontier. this should be the collective goal of mankind. but ohwell.

guess this wouldnt be bad either, cmon DARPA

Realistically?

A google translate app that utilises your smartphone's camera and overlays the translation on top; seriously, how does this not exist yet?

Also, heads up displays on cars. They've been on Aircraft since the late 60s yet they can't seem to make the jump to the automotive industry. Actually, I'm pretty sure a Nissan was outfitted with a HUD, but nothing ever came of it. I'm not sure why because it would be so cool to have a HUD while you're driving.

And Pokemon, they should've been invented by now.

I like how the thread title is asking for tech that seems plausible in the near future yet people are suggesting technology that even an intergalactic race would find difficult to create.

Teleportation: We've done it, on a quantum level.
Flying Cars: It was mentioned that it would be too cost inefficient.
Laser Weaponry: We already use it in the military.
Jetpacks: We have them.
Railguns: We have efficient railguns that don't suck. They are used for specific things currently.
Genetic modified organisms: We have them.

Sexbots: Not that I know of.... Just go to Vegas.

Cloning.. but humans, not only sheep.

more advanced medicine, AIDS and cancer shouldn't be a problem anymore. (Actually that kind of medicine exists, but it's hidden from us, because that would bring pharma industries less money as now).

Hover Boards.. I'm not interested in flying cars, but by now there should be another power source than only petrol and stuff...

Fusion reactors like the ITER one (not succesfully tested yet).

Space-travelling for everyone

VRMMORPG like SAO

Dumb people are still believing that technology will "fix" the world's problems. It wont...you just have a NSA, police state lol...not that it matters because NTHE is fast-arriving...the police state exists exactly because the elites know that NTHE is fast arriving...so they need to make our lives as miserable as possible before the arrival of NTHE.
