I think we as a human race can AND will use technolgy for so long as the human race lives on this planet. I also think that sometime within the next 50 to 75 years we will relie on technolgy so much that human face to face interaction will be a thing of the past. I can also see hover cars being reality. I can see the field of medicene increase vastly with the use of nanbots and new advances in machines and treatments. I wouldnt be suprised if i saw a robot walk down my street in the next 30 years either. The sounds of laser weapons and new age smart bombs will be heard across lands and i can see my children playing video games in virtual reality. Also life expectancy of humans will exceed 150 years or more to in the future presumable. Therefore in conclusion i see that makind will always relie on technolgy from the year 2010 to the end of exsitance.

also i see cloning and transporting as a possability in the future. i would imagine entertainment will go so far as to beam movies in your head (i kinda got this idea from watching a family guy episode but it seems like a real possability)

living on different planets and gain super powers are within grasp. i forsee gentic crossbreding/manipulation as a scientific field in the future to.

Don't triple post.

We've been completely reliant on implements of technology for hundreds of years. We've been as we are now for around fifty years. This is nothing new.

I don't think it will be that bad. I don't think they'll have cars. I could see:
.Monorails in people's backyards
.Subways under every house
.A network of things that make buying easier
(You click online, and it shoots up a tube to your house)
.Houses that can change their layout
.Virtual reality tubes in your floor (Like you're actually there) <-little person in a vr tube.

Well thanks for clearing that up.

Could be possible but it isn't very practical, I doubt hover cars will ever start being used as day to day transportation.

I agree with a couple of those points but some are a little bogus.
Virtual reality... increased life expectancy... those are quite plausible (and awesome!)
Laser weapons? That's just impractical

I think hover cars won't be used much, looking at how much problem we already have to distribute enough energy. Also a hovering car would mean to rebuild almost all streets.. but I agree that hovering trains will be used once, since thanks to the missing friction it could go at very high speed quite easily.
Also I don't think face to face interactions will completely disappear, maybe some big fat dumbos will stay at home all their life but many will still, and will always, go out and move and talk to people and travel. It is something virtual reality can only replace partly, and poorly.

living on different planets and gain super powers are within grasp.

Hold on, living on other planets is still far away in terms of human lives, and super powers? Like what? That's just silly.

Also life expectancy of humans will exceed 150 years or more to in the future presumable.

At the actual state of knowledge and technology it isn't possible, not even theoretically, for a human to get older than roughly 120. It's a biological treshhold, and there's no possibility in sight to make it longer, for now at least.

Like I said, roughly that age. Do not take the 120 I said as fix maximum, is is approximative.

It is also impossible to teleport. Read a physics book and you'll know that too... You can destroy the original and make an exactly same copy of it in a totally different place, but you won't be there anymore... It will be another person that acts, lives and IS the same as you... So you can actually be able to teleport non-living objects, as it won't make a difference.

oh and btw... Some scientists already teleported like a single atom, so it's definitely possible... But it uses a HELL of a lot of energy...

Uh, oops. I missed the "roughly". Still, two hundred years ago no one would ever consider flying a possibility, and would laugh at anyone claiming otherwise. Therefore, it's not impossible that, in the future, they can do something we would never believe was possible. Increasing a person's lifespan, for example.

Yes, we could evolve or "mutate" in a slight way, gaining a larger lifespan!

The max age that a human beings body can maintain life is to 125, that is the absolute max.
