I can
name so many things that I think technology of the future will do and that I want it to do. Though, it may
take more than a decade for technology to meet my dreams of a Sci-Fi
wonderland, I shall explain nonetheless.
First of all, AI sounds
riveting. Imagining something that can communicate with humans endlessly by
means of algorithms and actually learning like the human brain fascinates me. Hollywood has made this dream of mine seem very “Terminator: Judgement Day apocalypse” and “nothing is real Matrix-y”, but what’s the worst that can happen? I am quite sure
those have been the famous last words of far too many, but I’m willing to
accept the consequences. Ultron may have turned out to be an evil death-bot;
however, perhaps we can just virtually cuddle our artificially intelligent brethren
into submission.
In
the future, I also imagine that video games will continue to become more and
more interactive. Those face-mask things that “immerse” you in the world of
whatever already exist, so who’s to say will come next? Again, Hollywood and
the small screen want to convince us that this can also only end in disaster
(i.e. Sword Art Online and Spy Kids: Game Over). Personally,
neither of these things seem all that bad to me. Everything worked out in Spy Kids, and things just got cooler in Sword Art Online (they got freaking
guns. Guns!) It’s sort of ironic that I’m excited about this, as I’m decidedly
for stricter gun laws. But, it’s just a video game, so who cares?
