I was messing around with my ipod touch earlier and started thinking about all the cool things we have today and what we'll see in the future. Hovercars? Brain implants? Monkey Butlers? What crazy things do you think will be invented/happen in the world in the next...oh say 30 years.

maxwell smart · 18-04-2009 11:51pm

Hoverboards like in Back to the Future.....I want me one of them!

giggsy664 · 18-04-2009 11:52pm

You have selected clumsy bludgeoning. For an additional ten dollars would you like your eyes scooped out with a melon-baller?

Computers with a toaster drive instead of disc drives so you can make toast where ever you are

Borneo Fnctn · 19-04-2009 12:06am

A printer that actually works consistently?

Your wrong. Brain implants are being used even today.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_pacemaker is a brain implent used to help epilepsy and parkinson's disease.

There are many more also.

But in the future i can easily see implents being used to increase memory and actually enhance the mind rather than just being strictly medical uses.

themadchef · 19-04-2009 12:16am

Future relationship aid.

At marriage, every couple implanted with a "keepitinyourpants" micro chip. Cheating will cause your mickey to fall off or if you're the female of the species...damp rot :eek: to set in.

A device that it will be mandatory for everyone to wear which measures how many breaths you take to determine your carbon footprint in relation to breathing and how much carbon tax you have to pay for breathing .

In the future everyone will undoubtedly have microchip brain implants in order to control every thought and desire. These will be inserted on behalf of the reptilian masters of the New World Order by the anti-christ AKA Barrack Obama. I read all about it on the Conspiracy Theories board so it must be true.

OldGoat · 19-04-2009 12:38am

Hoovercars...sucking up ciggie butts from the roadside and converting them to finely wraught miniatures of the Eiffel Tower.

Failing that a magic diet pill that you take going to bed.
That night you're Andy Reid or Fat Frankie Lampard....the following morning you're Becham.

Sharpshooter · 19-04-2009 1:21am

Of course, as long as she can knot it until it becomes useful again.

PurpleBerry · 19-04-2009 1:25am

Yeah, it's weird how that can happen, isn't it?

Terry · 19-04-2009 1:28am

Everything you ever saw on Star Trek.
Gene Roddenberry was from the future.

a little crummy their with the details, but ill get the ghost of winters past to get workin on it

personally id love to see practical economic cars, not the " this prius only gets 30 mph... but we'll say double that " kinda rubbish

Dartz · 19-04-2009 1:32pm

The future...

Bubblegum Crisis, Bladerunner, anything remotely Cyberpunk. Because that's the way things are going....

Darker, with more corporate power and control.

Maddison · 19-04-2009 1:34pm

I remember thinking when I was a wee un that in the year 2000 cars would fly and robots would be everywhere..................ah to be young and foolish again

Why not.

I think it's inevitable. in fact it seems it's already happening. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_implant.

There is also a hybrid plane/car coming out shortly. Not quite a hovercar but getting there I would say.

Faith · 19-04-2009 1:54pm

Replicators and transporters are the two Star Trek things I'd most like in my life.

DenMan · 19-04-2009 2:03pm

Burger King on the Moon, or maybe Mars.

Transporter and Holographic technology is already been undertaken and is in it's infancy, in 30 years time who knows!!!

A rolller coaster in space.....now that would be cool. Obviously we would need to be protected by the environment.

Boards.ie in 3-D.
